Faux suede question?

Magny · ‎10-18-2011

A399800, a faux suede jacket from Laurie Felt, is described as a knit fabric. Is faux

suede ever knitted? Calling CS probably won't give me different info.

TIA,

I agree. That does sound strange.

has been my experience that sometimes people don't know the difference :-(

There are different kinds of fabric used to make faux suede. Some are made with a knitted base with a napped surface made to look like suede. Other kinds are woven with a sueded-nap.

Thanks for opinions. It looks pretty, so I’m trying it.

Thank you for that. Now that there are so many different kids of "pseudofabrics" in the marketplace, it is definitely difficult to know what is which and which is what. I am somewhat surprised at your response but never found you to be wrong. I trust your knowledge of that.

Why are you surprised at my response? I'm not bragging but I know a lot about fabrics and textiles. I was a professional seamstress for a number of years in a previous life. Textiles have always been interesting to me. Learned a lot from my mother who was a professional 'Master Weaver'. She taught me a lot about the different kinds of fabrics and how they are woven or knitted.

I think you misread what I said. I said "thank you," and told you I did not know but trusted your knowledge. How is that saying I'm surprised? Now you have shocked me as you seem angry that someone would commend your knowledge from your time as a seamstress.

No, I am not mad. But you said you were surprised so I was just asking why.

Thank you for saying so.
