How are the fabrics different between SILKY SHIRT and CUPRA SILKY SHIRT, both of which have 'silky' in their names?
While choosing shirts on an online mall, I came across two products that share the expression 'silky' in their names. The expressions for the touch felt on the surface look similar, so I asked out of curiosity about how their actual fiber compositions differ.
SILKY SHIRT is made of 100% POLYESTER fabric, and CUPRA SILKY SHIRT uses 100% CUPRA fabric, meaning the two garments have completely different fiber compositions.
SILKY SHIRT is 100% POLYESTER[1], and CUPRA SILKY SHIRT is 100% CUPRA[2]. The yarns themselves are different. Although both garments feature a silky feel[3][4], because the properties of the threads differ, the feeling against the body and the movement of the fabric are different. While POLYESTER is a synthetic fiber that resists wrinkling and does not easily lose its shape, CUPRA is a regenerated fiber extracted from the fine fuzz around cotton seeds that possesses a soft luster and a fluid drape.
There are also differences in silhouette and detailing. While SILKY SHIRT is a garment that emphasizes the natural wrinkles inherent to the fabric[5], MARGESHERWOOD's CUPRA SILKY SHIRT is based on a relaxed oversized fit[6][7]. It features a variation on the chest pocket shape and logo buttons[8], and its completeness has been enhanced with natural normal washing processing and delicate sewing[9].
The specific fabric thickness or degree of sheer/transparency of the two shirts has not been confirmed yet.
