There are many kinds of clothing fabrics, and people tend to compare similar fabrics. Such as Oxford cloth and canvas. So what are the obvious differences between them? Which one is better? You need to understand its structure, purpose and characteristics~
What is Oxford cloth?
Oxford cloth (oxford), also known as Oxford spinning. A traditional combed cotton fabric that originated in the United Kingdom and was named after Oxford University, Oxford cloth began around 1900. It uses finer combed high-count yarn as a double warp and is interwoven with a thicker weft yarn in a weft-heavy flat weave.
It has soft color, soft fabric body, good breathability, comfortable wearing, easy to wash and quick-drying, and is often used as shirts, sportswear and pajamas. It is also used to make bags due to its advantages such as good waterproofing and durability. There are many varieties of products, including plain color, bleached color, colored warp and white weft, colored warp and colored weft, medium and light color striped patterns, etc.; there are also products woven with polyester-cotton yarn.
What is canvas?
Canvas is a thicker cotton or linen fabric. It got its name because it was originally used in ship sails. Generally, plain weave is mostly used, and a small amount of twill weave is used. The warp and weft yarns are all made of multi-strand threads. Canvas is usually divided into two categories: coarse canvas and fine canvas. Rough canvas, also known as tarpaulin, has good waterproof properties and is used for car transportation and open-air warehouse coverings as well as tents in the wild. Fine canvas is used to make labor protection clothing and supplies. After dyeing or printing, it can also be used as shoe materials, luggage fabrics, handbags, backpacks, tablecloths, tablecloths, etc. In addition, there are rubber canvas, shielding canvas for fire protection and radiation protection, and canvas for paper machines. However, it has no elasticity, feels a bit hard to the touch, and is wear-resistant. You will notice this after using it for a long time.
All in all, in short, which fabric is better? In fact, a thousand people have a thousand answers. They each have their own unique advantages, and at the same time, they also have some disadvantages. The editor personally believes that one should choose which kind of cloth to use based on the characteristics of different cloths. The price of canvas is higher. Canvas is a cotton and linen blended fabric, which is suitable for fabric use. Oxford cloth depends on the coating requirements. Generally, uncoated cloth is only suitable for lining. In this way, I believe that all friends have an idea of which one is better, Oxford cloth or canvas.
What is the difference between Oxford cloth and canvas?
Oxford cloth and canvas are two very similar fabrics, so how to distinguish them? The editor tells you:
Oxford cloth is a new type of fabric with multiple functions and wide uses. Currently, there are mainly varieties on the market: set plaid, full elastic, nylon, teguet and other varieties. Oxford cloth, also called Oxford spinning, mostly uses polyester-polyester-cotton blended yarn interwoven with cotton yarn, and adopts weft-heavy flat or square weave. It has the characteristics of easy washing, quick drying, soft touch, good hygroscopicity and comfortable wearing. Oxford spinning is a fabric weaving method, which refers to the overlapping sequence of horizontal and vertical cotton yarns during weaving. Oxford fabrics are actually low- to medium-grade shirt fabrics.
Canvas is a thicker cotton or linen fabric. It got its name because it was originally used in ship sails. Generally, plain weave is mostly used, and a small amount of twill weave is used. The warp and weft yarns are all made of multi-strand threads. Canvas is usually divided into two categories: coarse canvas and fine canvas. Rough canvas, also known as tarpaulin, is commonly woven with No. 58 (10-inch) 4 to 7-strand yarn. The fabric is strong and resistant to folding, and has good waterproof properties. It is used for automobile transportation, covering open-air warehouses, and setting up tents in the wild. The warp and weft yarns of fine canvas are generally 2 strands of No. 58 to 6 strands of No. 28 (10 inches/2 to 21 inches/6), which are used to make labor protection clothing and supplies. After dyeing, it can also be used as fabric for shoes, travel bags, backpacks, etc. In addition, there are rubber canvas, shielding canvas for fire protection and radiation protection, and canvas for paper machines.
The difference between the two is that Oxford cloth is generally used on chemical fiber fabrics. It has soft hand feel, good hygroscopicity, comfortable wearing, easy to wash, quick drying, elasticity and other characteristics. Multi-purpose polyester-cotton blended yarn is interwoven with cotton yarn, and the weft weight flat or square weave is used. Canvas includes cotton canvas, polyester-cotton canvas, or nylon-cotton canvas, but it has no elasticity, feels a bit hard to the touch, and is wear-resistant. You will notice it after using it for a long time. Therefore, in general, both cloths have their own advantages. It is impossible to determine which cloth is better. We can only choose the corresponding cloth according to different uses. wTuobiSw
