Cloth - Glasgow

The base fabric of our product is Glasgow cloth, composed of 93% polyester, 5% viscose, and 2% elastane. It has a weight of 380 gr/m2 and a width of 150 cm. The solid color printed is Crayola Red, designed with a combination of 4% Cyan ink, 94% Magenta ink, and 55% Yellow ink, resulting in an intense and vibrant shade of red. The color is not flat as it has a 4% Cyan content, which adds a slightly cooler and more melancholic tone. This color pairs perfectly with navy blue and black tones.

The base fabric is printed with the solid color only on one side using digital textile printing with polyester sublimation technology, which allows the ink to be permanently transferred to the fabrics surface without compromising its texture or softness. The texture of Glasgow cloth is soft to the touch, making it very comfortable for use in garments. Additionally, its composition guarantees high durability and resistance.

Applications for Glasgow cloth include coats, trenches, jackets, vests, blazers, kitchen towels, coasters, and altar cloths. Its use is recommended mainly during winter and autumn/winter 2021. It is important to note that the fabric is delicate and should be hand-washed or machine-washed at a maximum temperature of 40ºC. Bleach is not recommended, nor is dry cleaning. Ironing should be done at a warm temperature, and tumble drying is prohibited.

Regarding printing technology, sublimation is a technique that allows the transfer of the design to the materials surface using heat. The ink turns into vapor and permanently adheres to the fabrics fibers, ensuring that the color does not fade or lose vibrancy over time and washes. This technique requires high precision in printer settings, as the quality of the final result largely depends on the correct management of color and the percentages of ink used.
