Hello. I’m Dong from ApparelX.

 Today I’d like to introduce how to use ApparelX.

How to Use It, Part 1 -- Fabric Search

Using silk as an example, we’ll introduce the various functions of ApparelX~

Select Fabrics from the product catalog on the homepage

ApparelX homepage

Top of Fabric items

Next, to find silk materials, click the Add Material button in the left menu bar. If the menu bar is open by default, scroll down to the heading “Materials” to find it. In the Materials menu, the names of the materials used for fabrics are listed. Let’s look for silk on the left together.

Click the Silk entry on the left to display all silk fabrics on ApparelX.

Cotton/Polyester, Polyester/Cotton — Hard to Tell Them Apart

When searching for fabrics, single-material fabrics are relatively easy to find, but how do you look for blended fabrics?

For example, let’s say you want to find a cotton-polyester blend. You’ve probably seen the options “Cotton/Polyester” and “Polyester/Cotton” on the left, but how are they distinguished?

It’s actually very simple: on ApparelX, the materials in blended fabrics are basically separated by the “/” symbol, so for example cotton/polyester/nylon is ordered from left to right in descending order of content.

So if you want to find a fabric that is 80% cotton and 20% polyester, just select “Cotton/Polyester” on the left.

Try Specifying More Conditions

For example, if you want to find a polyester fabric made by a certain manufacturer and used for outerwear.

In that case, specify all three conditions on the left, and you can easily find the fabric you need.

For clarity, as shown below, the positions of the boxes with the same color correspond to one another.

You can quickly find the fabric you want by specifying conditions like this.
