DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Scuba cotton
Belonging to the synthetic jersey base materials, Scuba cotton is a full, “meaty”-handling, structured textile that combines the natural comfort of cotton with the durability of polyester and the elasticity of elastane. The 49% polyester, 46% cotton and 5% elastane composition provides adequate body, pleasant wear and shape stability, making it an ideal choice for making garments with modern, clean cutting lines.
Material construction and properties
Scuba cotton is a double-structured, dense-design jersey type that stands out for its smooth surface and stable body. Thanks to its 278 g/m² weight, the material is more substantial yet elastic, so it is easy to shape and excellently suited for creating structured garments. The 168 cm width allows for economical cutting. The cotton content contributes to breathability and a natural feel, while the polyester increases durability and shape retention. Where a soft, fluid drape is needed instead, viscose jersey is the more fitting starting point.
Applications
Belonging to the synthetic jersey group, Scuba cotton can be widely used in various areas of the fashion industry. For modern outerwear, it is an excellent choice for “tailored”-style jackets, structured blazers and slim-fit coats, where a defined shape and clean cutting lines are important. In contemporary women's fashion, it is ideal for shaping dresses, heavy-drape skirts and clean-lined tunics. For lighter, more everyday pieces, the knitted fabrics of stretch cotton jersey also come into consideration.
It is also suitable for premium sporty wear, such as elegant leisure sets, sweatshirt tops and technical streetwear. In addition, it is suitable for making stylish trousers, where the material's elasticity and body provide both comfort and an aesthetic appearance.
