The Comfy French Terry

Have you heard of French Terry cotton?

(At the end of this, you'll wish you can wear them every single day)

A cotton fabric used to make sportswear that has loops designed to absorb water on one side while the other side is flat. It is the length of loops that determines how much fluid is absorbed by the cloth as longer loops provide more surface area to absorb and come in contact with the fluid. The longer the loops, the more absorbent the fabric will be. 

It is heavier than a t-shirt, but lighter than most sweatshirt and has a good amount of stretch which is very comfortable to wear. Its content is usually 100% cotton, but may sometimes contain polyester.

French Terry has been around since the 1980’s so most likely you probably do and just didn’t know it.

They are used in making of men's, women's and children's clothes.

Houndstooth print - Fashion History

Houndstooth originated in the Scottish Lowlands in the 1800s and it was originally worn as an outer garment of woven wool cloth by shepherds. The pattern is still popular to this day in tweed and wool fabrics. The pattern was made using a simple combination of black and white thread, as well as in the other color combinations that are popular now.

It first rose to recognition in the 1930s when, ironically considering its low-profile beginnings, upper-class Americans began wearing houndstooth as a symbol of wealth. in 1959, Christian Dior (which was one of their favorite design motifs to design a pointed court shoe featuring the pattern), Chanel, and Louis Vuitton (during their collections in the 1990s and mid 2000s) soon incorporated houndstooth into their couture collections as well, according to Rue La La. Since then, the trend’s enjoyed periodic revivals, like in Alexander McQueen 2009 F/W ready-to-wear collection. Pringle of Scotland featured a loosely draped, cinched at the waist dress in a large houndstooth that same season, nodding back to houndstooth’s Scottish roots.

But back to the present: whether you’re looking for a cozy, oversized coat or a classic dress like this one from Shoppertise, houndstooth is on trend now and, judging by its past, most definitely able to stand the test of time.
