Need clothing tag translation


Recommended Posts

Posted

I love the feel of these pants, but I can't tell what material they are made of in order to find similar ones in the US. Can anyone translate for me?

Edit: The second symbol of the first material appears to mean hemp, but I have not been able to find the first symbol. Similarly in the second material, I found the second symbol and a translation of gel or resin. So maybe it is 30% hemp?

I have no idea! They're apparently related, but I've never seen Viscose used to refer to a fabric before. It might be a regional thing?

"a viscous orange-brown solution obtained by treating cellulose with sodium hydroxide and carbon disulphide, used as the basis of manufacturing rayon fibre and transparent cellulose film.

rayon fabric or fibre made from viscose."

 

Quote from an online dictionary, I have heard it used a bit.

Viscose is totally common as a material. It is similar to natural fibres and indicates high quality. I don't know why people have never heard of it, but perhaps it is commoner for women's tops than men's trousers. 

I have just looked it up to see if it is called something different in the USA (I am in the UK), but I don't think so.

Actually, it says here its use is declining. That was new to me.

Huh, I guess I just never paid enough attention to clothing labels. Rayon is a familiar word to me, but I had never seen the word viscose before now.
