Korean, Japanese or cotton?
| Fabric | How it differs |
|---|---|
| Korean | Filament similar to the Japanese at a lower price, with lower quality and lifespan. There is no Korean cotton. |
| Japanese | Finer weave, more stable and more varied colours, better packaging and a longer life. |
| Cotton | A cool natural fibre that creases more; coloured cotton fades with washing. |
How to judge quality by eye and touch
- The finer the yarn, the softer the feel.
- An even weave (warp and weft crossing equally) gives medium softness, as in spun-spun, filament-filament and spun-filament.
- Pull the fabric with both hands: a good weave holds together and its threads do not part.
- If a manufacturing defect shows in the fabric before it is tailored, you may exchange it or return it.
Care and ironing
- Wash in water below 30°C, without too much detergent and without any bleach.
- Rinse well to remove detergent residue.
- Do not tumble-dry, so that no pilling forms; dry in the shade.
- Iron at no more than 110°C.
