What is Aertex Fabric?
- Aertex is a thin, woven ,light weight, breathable fabric.
- It is full of tiny holes which allows air to pass through easily.
- It keeps the body cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Two threads or ends act as one thread; when a weft thread passes between them, the doup ends twist catching the weft and holding it tightly in place.
- Very fancy and beautiful clothes can be produced by combining the cross weaving with other weave structures.
History
- Aertex company is founded by a famous politician and an affluent mill owner, Lewis Haslam, in 1888.
- He and his colleagues experimented on a cloth that trapped air between the warp and weft of the fabric. This aeration proved to be successful and resulted in the making of Aertex Fabric.
- By the 20th century, an Aertex garment had made its way through every American man’s wardrobe and had become increasingly popular.
