granular surface, raised parallel cords or geometric designs in the fabric are characteristic
polyamide (nylon)
synthetic fibre with high durability, quick drying
polycotton
mix of cotton and polyester, to use benefits of both materials
polyester
most common synthetic fibre, characteristics: tensile strength, fineness, good dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, good wash
behaviour, excellent light resistance
polyester pongee
fabric made from polyester filaments, thin, sleek fabric, formerly made from silk
poplin
plain-weave fabric, breathable, durable, smooth, lightweight and densely woven material, one of the most common fabrics for shirts
and blouses

rib (alternately knitted left and right) and 2x2 rib (alternately 2 left and 2 right stitches)
ring-spun cotton
softer, finer, smoother and more shiny than open end yarn, optimal printability
rip stop
