What kind of finish is the flatlock (odrampf) stitching mentioned in the Trail Hoodie description?
After seeing the unfamiliar sewing term in the Trail Hoodie product description, the user is curious about how it differs from regular stitching. They are asking to find out how this finish actually helps when worn.
Flatlock stitching is a finish that sews fabric edges butted together flat without overlapping the seam allowances, helping to prevent the seams from chafing when you move your body.
Flatlock stitching is a seamless-feel sewing method where the edges of two pieces of fabric are placed side by side against each other without overlapping and sewn flat. Ordinary clothes leave thick seam allowances inside the seams that protrude outward, but this finish connects the inside and outside flatly, reducing friction against the skin.
WELTER EXPERIMENT applied this flatlock stitching to the Thermosquare Fleece Trail Hoodie [1]. The fabric used in the product is 240gsm square fleece [2].
When walking on mountain trails for long hours carrying a backpack or making large body movements, chafing easily occurs as clothing seams and skin repeatedly rub together. Beyond just the functionality of the fabric, eliminating the ridge of the sewn seam that directly touches the skin is a construction that helps you stay active without irritation even during vigorous movement.
Whether flatlock stitching was used on every single cut line of the hoodie or applied only to specific areas subject to frequent friction has not yet been confirmed in official materials.
