Hooded KIDS L 60/40 Cloth □ Color Purple □ Size Kids L Width: Approximately 54cm Length: Approximately 63cm □ Quality See photos 60/40 cloth is a fabric woven with approximately 60% cotton for the weft and approximately 40% nylon for the warp, and is commonly called Rokuyon Cloth or Rokuyon from that ratio. The 60/40 cloth used in Heritage Line products all uses 60/40 cloth made in the USA. Products made from 60/40 cloth that has breathed the air of America take several weeks by ship to arrive in Japan. □ Water Repellency When the cotton in the weft absorbs water and expands, the gaps between the threads close, making it difficult for water to pass through. This, combined with the water-repellent properties unique to nylon, allows it to repel water. In other words, the water-repellent function is born only when it gets wet. Nowadays, film-type breathable waterproof materials have been developed and completely waterproof jackets have been made, but this 60/40 cloth was born before that, and although it cannot be said to be completely waterproof, it has protected many outdoor enthusiasts from rain and wind. □ Texture This blend of approximately 60% cotton for the weft and approximately 40% nylon for the warp creates a unique luster and texture. This is very important for ensuring the craft (handmade) feel, which is one of SIERRA DESIGNS' themes. This texture, which is said to improve with use, is the main reason why SIERRA DESIGNS' 60/40 cloth is still revered even after half a century since its appearance. □ Breathability There may be other fabrics with just water-repellent functions. Therefore, what is indispensable when talking about 60/40 cloth is this breathability. Because it has the breathability unique to cotton, it prevents moisture and stuffiness from sweating and realizes a comfortable fit. In other words, it is an innovative fabric that combines the contradictory functions of preventing rain and expelling moisture. □ Tear Strength Since 100% nylon yarn is used in one direction (vertical), it has excellent tear strength, friction strength, and resistance to scratches. This is a used item, so please consider purchasing it with your understanding. * There are scratches and fraying due to use.
