  Title: The Distinctive Difference Between Denim and Jeans Introduction: In the world of fashion, denim and jeans are two terms often used interchangeably. However, they aren't the same thing. Denim is a versatile fabric, while jeans refer to a specific style of clothing. In this article, we will explore the key differences between denim and jeans, shedding light on their individual characteristics and usage. Understanding Denim and Jeans: Denim is a rugged cotton twill fabric, traditionally woven with an indigo dyed warp and a white weft thread. This unique weaving technique results in denim's distinctive diagonal ribbing known as the twill line. Denim is renowned for its durability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from clothing to upholstery. Jeans, on the other hand, are a specific type of pants made from denim fabric. They were originally designed for miners and cowboys due to their hard-wearing nature. Over time, jeans have evolved into a global fas

  Introduction: In a bid to attract entrepreneurs and boost the textile industry, the Bangladesh Jute Mill Corporation (BJMC) has implemented significant changes in the lease policy for state-owned jute mills. Recognizing the lack of interest from investors in jute production alone, BJMC has expanded the scope to include textile manufacturing. The revised policy allows private sector entrepreneurs to lease jute mills for a period of 30 years, offering opportunities for both jute and textile production. This blog explores the recent developments, challenges, and potential impact on Bangladesh's jute and textile sectors. The Need for Change: Due to a lack of response from entrepreneurs, the BJMC decided to modify its lease policy for state-owned jute mills. Previously, only jute or jute products were allowed to be produced, with a lease term of 20 years. However, recognizing the potential of the textile industry as a promising export sector, the BJMC relaxed the policy to accommodate

Introduction: Knit garments merchandising encompasses a series of planned activities aimed at executing and dispatching merchandise on time, while prioritizing the 4 R's: Right Cost, Right Quantity, Right Quality, and Right Time. Functions of Knit Garments Merchandisers: Execution of Sample Orders: Upon receiving the specifications for a sample order, it is crucial for the merchandiser to thoroughly understand the buyer's requirements. Amendments to the sample order sheet should be addressed promptly, and the merchandiser must ensure the timely execution and dispatch of samples of the desired quality. Costing: Merchandisers must consider the following details during the costing process: Yarn cost Process cost (e.g., knitting, bleaching, raising) Rates for various sewing operations Cut Make Trim (CMT) rate Ironing charges, packing charges, and accessory rates Overheads Shortage or wastage (3%) Free on Board (FOB) transport charges (2% to 3%) Insurance (2%-3%) Buyers' agent

Introduction: Elastomeric fibers play a crucial role in creating garments that provide comfort, stretch, and shape retention. These synthetic fibers possess remarkable elasticity and can quickly recover their original shape after being stretched. In this article, we will explore the types, properties, and diverse applications of elastomeric fibers. What are Elastomeric Fibers? Elastomeric fibers are synthetic fibers that exhibit high extensibility and rapid recovery. These fibers can stretch up to seven times their original length and bounce back to their initial state without relying on being crimped or coiled. They are predominantly made of segmented polyurethane, with a minimum composition of 85% in most cases. Elastomeric fibers are known by various names such as Spandex in the United States and Lycra in Europe. Other types of elastomeric fibers include elastodiene fibers, elastomultiester fibers, and certain polyolefin fibers, although they are commercially less significant compar

  No. of wrapping fiber depends on: 1. The position at which the fibers laid on the rotor wall. 2. The length of the binding-in- zone. 3. The ratio of fiber length   to the rotor circumference. 4. The false twist level. 5. The rotor speed. 6. Fiber fineness.   Influencing parameters of rotor • Rotor is the main spinning element of the rotor spinning machine. Yarn quality, yarn character, working performance, productivity, costs etc. all depend chiefly on rotor. • Influencing parameters of rotor: 1.The rotor form 2.The groove 3.The diameter 4.The rotational speed 5.The rotor bearing 6.Co-efficient of friction between the fiber and rotor wall. 7.The airflow inside the rotor 8.Liability to fouling.
