What kind of fabric is the 'back satin' mentioned in the description?
This question arises when wondering what texture and characteristics the unfamiliar term 'back satin cotton' listed in the jacket's material details has.
Back satin is a fabric that uses the reverse side of a smooth satin weave as the outer surface, characterized by a distinct horizontal grain that shows through.
It is a fabric that turns the grain-accentuated reverse side (back) outward instead of the smooth front side of satin. It is constructed to hide the sleek sheen on the inside and expose the side with a pronounced surface texture on the outside.
INSILENCE used Japanese back satin cotton material for this jacket[1]. By adding garment washing, which processes the finished garment by wet-washing it whole, it brings out a horizontal texture on the fabric's outer surface along with a naturally faded color[2].
