To know that there are no shortage of pocket towels made of low-quality fabrics and craftsmanship on the market, the learned smart-eyed gentleman can easily notice these details.
To judge the quality of pocket towels, we mainly look at three aspects: material, size and edge stitching.
01: Material
Common fabrics used to make pocket towels are silk, linen, wool and cotton, etc., and blends can be selected to complement the shortcomings according to the performance of different materials.
02: size
The size of the pocket towel depends largely on the fabric used. Almost all pocket towels are adjusted to get the most available material from the original fabric.
For example, a piece of fabric has a side length of about 70cm. It is usually cut in half. Once the surrounding edges are rolled up, two small squares with a size of 35cm or shorter side are left (more after curling) small).
03: Edge stitching method
When we put the pocket towel on the breast pocket, we can't display it in a single piece, usually only showing the edge of the pocket towel, so this is also the most eye-catching part of it.
If you wear a pocket towel with a machine-stitched edge, it will wear out with repeated friction between the pocket towel and the breast pocket, and it looks quite unsightly. Moreover, the edge structure of the pocket towel will also differ according to the different curling methods.
Hand-made curling: Hand-made curling is one of the guarantees of high-quality pocket towels. This manual stitching method will make the stitching of the curling hem more concealed and detailed, and the hand-rolled edges are naturally full, showing a tight and rounded Slender tube, and then flexibly stitched by hand.
Sewing edge: suits involving machines have always been the mainstay of industrialization to meet mainstream market demands, and pocket towels are no exception.
After all, retailers facing the mass market are often reluctant to pay for the extra labor hand-stitched, which also causes most mass-produced pocket towels on the market to have machine-stitched edges.
In general, high-quality pocket towels should be able to maintain the wrinkle shape for a long time, have a natural luster, and feel soft.
