Fabric types and summer heat

The world is seeing record temperatures again. A lot of people find little comfort in their summer wardrobe these days, so it's important to be aware of how fabric types can influence your well-being in hot weather.

The following list of fabrics is by no means exhaustive, but it covers the basics.

Some of the fabrics mentioned below are expensive when bought new. You'll often find them for cheap in second-hand shops and on thrifting platforms though. I'm literally wearing a €5 linen underskirt, a €1 silk top, and a €7 silk summer dress right now, just to give an example.

General notes:

If you don't know where to start, try to stick to light-weight fabrics made of natural fibres. Look for light colours and open weaves.

You might be tempted to cover as little skin as possible in order to keep cool, but this leaves your skin vulnerable to sunburn. A thin layer of linen will often be more efficient at keeping you cool than leaving your skin bare.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen! Even if your skin type doesn't burn easily, it will still lower your chances of skin cancer. Look into sunscreens for children if you have sensory issues: they tend to be more sensory-friendly.

Polyester (to avoid):

Are your summer clothes making you ridiculously sweaty? Check the tag: you're probably wearing polyester.

Polyester is a synthetic fabric derived from petroleum: it's basically a plastic. It's strong, cheap, and stain resistant, which makes it a popular fabric. Even though a lot of summer clothes are made out of polyester, it's one of the worst fabrics to wear in summer.

Polyester is neither absorbent nor breathable, and captures heat. It traps sweat between your skin and your clothes, and it won't let you cool down. This leaves you feeling sticky and overheated. It can also cause static cling, which can be uncomfortable.

Not all synthetic fabrics are bad in summer: a lot of UV-blocking clothes are made of synthetics for example and can be a real life saver if you're sensitive to the sun. Try to avoid polyester if you can, though.

Cotton:

Cotton is a natural fibre that makes for a soft, durable, and breathable fabric. It allows air to circulate around your body which helps to keep you cool and get rid of sweat. It's a good basic choice.

Cotton has one downside: it's very absorbent, but takes a while to dry. If the weather's making you sweat excessively, the sweat can pool into the fabric of your cotton clothes. This will make them wet, resulting in visible sweat stains that can feel uncomfortable and will take a long time to dry.

If you can't stand how cotton feels, check out chambray weaves or bamboo textiles. They have similar properties to plain-weave cotton, but tend to be more sensory-friendly.

Linen:

Linen is the absolute king of hot weather fabrics. It's strong, absorbent, dries quickly, and is very breathable. It cools you down, but won't make you feel sticky because any sweat it absorbs will evaporate fast.

I frequently layer multiple thin loose-fitting linen garments when it's hot. Loose layers allow for air to circulate between your clothes while protecting your skin from the sun. It almost functions as a wearable air-conditioner.

Note that linen is prone to wrinkling. If this bothers you, know that linen requires extra effort during laundry to avoid this.

Silk:

Silk is yet another natural fibre that makes for a strong, quick-drying, and pretty breathable fabric. It's soft and cool to the touch, which makes it a great sensory choice.

Silk is not as breathable as cotton or linen, but dries very quickly. This means it might make you sweat more than cotton or linen does, but once the fabric's moist it will dry faster.

Note that sweat stains on silk tend to be pretty visible. Silk's also prone to static cling.

can you do the history of each states uniforms? Very interesting.

I would love to do that! The reality is that it will be a slow process! I am 116 messages behind right now!

I will do California tonight because it is well documented and therefore easy to do!

California prisons started off with convicts wearing civilian clothes, but quickly moved to prison issued striped shirts and pants.

They moved to prison made chambray shirts and dungarees around 1920.

By the 1950s, the chambray shirts had snaps instead of buttons and were fairly standardized.

Currently, the button shirts have morphed to a scrub style and the pants are blue denim scrub style pants. The only remaining old school styled part of the uniform is the yard coat, which is basically unchanged from the 1930s.

A little fact about California prison is, because the movie industry was centered in Los Angeles, many of the early prison movies used California prison uniforms as costumes and models.

こんにちは名古屋店コジャです。

春に嬉しいシャンブレーシャツの入荷です。

WAREHOUSE & CO. Lot 3048 BIG YANK TYPE CHAMBRAY SHIRTS ＼20.350-(with tax)　※ONE WASHは\550- UP

元にしたVintageのメーハーは様々な仕様で過去にも数点リリースしてきましたが、今回の新作は多くのギミックが落とし込まれている1950年代のオーセンティックなワークシャンブレー。

一見左右が対称のポケットですが右は通常のフラップポケット。

左は底面がフラシ（立体構造）になっており、体温上昇による汗などで収納した物（主に煙草等）が湿気を帯びないように設計されています。

縫製はトリプルステッチの巻縫いがメインに使用されており極めて細かいピッチ。糸の沈み方もオールドワークウェアとしての工業製品そのもの。

ボタンもこのメーカーの特徴的なデザイン。

生地は糸をロープ染色して旧式の力織機で織ったインディゴセルビッチシャンブレー。

一見良く見かけるようなシャンブレーシャツに落とし込まれた技あり仕様にサイズバランスも最高で、シャツが最適な時期ということもあり入荷から数日で完売目前。

169cm,70kg SIZE:42(ONE WASH)

髙木もずっと欲しかったシャツを早速着ており御満悦。
