Advice requested on fabric for trousers
What fabric and materials do I need for sewing pants?
Can somebody explain the different trouser fabrics
not an expert but from the different pants I've tried...
I've only tried crepette (but trucrepe and crepette are probably similar) and it's like a crinkly... almost chiffon-like fabric? you can see the texture in this post or this video and it's definitely a bit "grippier" to the touch but still smooth. the fabric is thinner, more drape-y/swooshy (example of the movement here) and has some give when you sit/walk (ps beware of birch color, they're pretty see through)
for the viscose one, it's more of a traditional "suit" type material. a bit more structured, heavier/thicker material and is stiffer when you sit/walk (example of the movement here). the texture is definitely like a woven fabric and this post has a close up of the wool version of the agency blazer but I thinkk it's pretty similar to the viscose version
