The Details of Thread Types"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

When buying jackets, most people focus on fabric, color, and style. Almost no one asks \u201cwhat thread do you use?\u201d But thread is the most basic \u201cskeleton\u201d of a jacket \u2014 connecting every piece of fabric, controlling every seam. Correct thread makes a jacket sewn firmly and worn durably; wrong thread ruins even the best fabric. Understanding thread is a small window into judging a factory\u2019s professionalism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most commonly used thread in jackets is polyester thread (Polyester Sewing Thread). Polyester thread has high strength, low shrinkage, excellent wear and wash resistance, and moderate cost \u2014 it\u2019s the top choice for garment sewing. Polyester thread comes in multifilament and spun versions \u2014 multifilament thread has a smooth surface and higher strength, used for high-stress areas like shoulders and armholes; spun thread is softer with better hand feel, used for decorative topstitching. Cotton thread was more commonly used before, but due to low strength, high shrinkage, and water-induced shrinkage, it\u2019s now rarely used in mass jacket production, only as decoration in certain vintage or special styles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thread has thickness specifications, professionally expressed as \u201cTEX\u201d or \u201cTicket Number.\u201d Higher TEX means thicker thread and higher strength. Different parts of jackets use different thread thicknesses: main stress areas like shoulder seams and armholes use TEX60-80 thick thread; ordinary seams use TEX30-40 medium thread; decorative topstitching uses TEX18-24 thin thread. Thicker isn\u2019t always better \u2014 excessively thick thread increases fabric bite depth, causing seam depression or fabric wrinkling; too thin thread lacks sufficient strength and easily breaks or pulls out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Different processes in jackets use different stitch types. The most basic is lockstitch \u2014 one up, one down alternating \u2014 used for most join seams. Overlock stitching encircles fabric edges to prevent fraying, used for side seams and sleeve seams that need reinforcement. Bar tacking is repeated back-and-forth stitching for reinforcement, used for pocket tabs and button loops at stress points. Different stitch types must pair with different thread thicknesses and materials \u2014 these details directly determine the jacket\u2019s finished quality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another consideration is thread color. Thread color is generally one to two shades darker than the fabric color, so stitches hide under the fabric. If the fabric is thin or light-colored, dark thread easily shows through forming a \u201csee-through effect.\u201d Some factories use approximate or unmatched colors to save trouble \u2014 no problem in short term, but after washing or stress, it exposes \u2014 wrong thread color becomes more prominent after washing, seriously affecting garment grade. Professional practice is matching color samples \u2014 letting the client confirm before production.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thread problems are hidden, but once they occur, they\u2019re major problems. Common thread issues include: thread breaking (machine skipping or insufficient thread strength); thread pulling (thread pulled out from needle hole under stress); bleeding (dark thread pigment staining light-colored fabric); uneven shrinkage (high thread shrinkage causing seam puckering). Most problems can be avoided through quality thread selection and proper process parameters.<\/p>\n

Cciola selects high-grade sewing threads with reliable strength and compliant color fastness .Each order determines threading specifications based upon fabric traits &process requirements ,with technical dept calculating appropriate Tex &stitch pattern coordination :Respective processes deploy matching needlework guaranteeing every seam satisfies tension criteria.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next time you get a jacket, flip it inside and check the seams. Even, strong, and color-hidden stitches indicate decent craftsmanship; rough, skipped, and color-showing stitches indicate likely poor quality. The unseen places reveal the most truth.<\/p>\n
