SUEDE WOVEN FABRIC AND A PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A suede woven fabric and a process for its manufacture are described. The fabric has a warp yarn of polyester textured, polyester filament or polyester spun yarn and a unique weft yarn, the surface portions of which are cut to form piles. For making the fabric, the weft yarn used is a single ply made from two kinds of composite filaments, each composite filament consisting of a plurality of island monofilaments randomly distributed in a polymeric sea component having a solubility different from the island monofilaments. After the fabric is woven, the polymeric sea component is removed to leave the monofilaments. Then portions of these monofilaments on a surface of the fabric are cut and raised to form the piles.
