What is the structure of the '3-Layer tricot fabric' mentioned in the description?
It feels unfamiliar to see the name of a waterproof material, mainly used in functional outdoor clothing, written in the description of neat slacks. This makes one curious about how its inside and outside structure differs from regular suit trousers.
This fabric, developed in-house by JEONGLI, has a structure in which waterproof functionality is placed between the outer shell and the inner backer, bonding the three layers into one.
Slacks are usually made of smooth wool or cotton, but KARMAN slacks brought the waterproofing method of outdoor apparel that blocks wind and rain into everyday trousers. JEONGLI directly developed and used a premium tricot waterproof fabric for these pants[1].
The 3-Layer in its name refers to a structure completed by bonding three layers of fabric into one[2]. The outer surface is woven by blending 70% polyester and 30% rayon, providing a neat texture suitable for everyday wear[3]. The inner Backer that touches the skin is finished with 100% polyester, sliding smoothly without catching when putting on or taking off the pants[4].
While housing a functional membrane, it is a tricot knit fabric, allowing it to stretch naturally with body movements[5]. In addition, the hem falling to the ankles is finished with a turn-back bonding technique that folds and bonds instead of stitching with thread, leaving no visible sewing lines on the outside[6]. It can be worn lightly without disrupting a neat appearance, repelling moisture even in inclement weather.
The specific water resistance rating or breathability figures that the fabric can withstand have not yet been confirmed.
