Hello.
This is Kayaba from the ApparelX trend blog.
Today, I would like to introduce Lingo textiles that have just been added to the product lineup.
The maker page is here → search.php?maker=168
In this blog, I will introduce Lingo textiles for those in the apparel business who are looking for fabrics for men's wear or menswear-style casual clothing, especially synthetic textiles that can be used for heavy garments such as outerwear and pants.
Lingo is a textile brand developed by Kuwamura Textile, Long Fiber Division, Section 1.
Long fiber refers to a fiber made by twisting together one long thread, and examples of such fibers include nylon and polyester. (There are also staple-fiber materials such as polyester spun, which is made by spinning short cotton-like fibers, but...)
In other words, Lingo focuses mainly on synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers are relatively easy to process, which makes it easy to add various functions and textures.
In addition to functional materials, Lingo textiles show attention to hand feel, texture, and color expression, giving them a modern impression.
It truly gives the same impression as the line on the maker's website: “Old and good textiles are being modernly brushed up by weaving them with new threads.”

As of April 2024, just under 50 product numbers of Lingo textiles are listed on ApparelX.
Also, even if a textile is not listed on ApaprelX, it can often still be arranged, so if the textile you want is not listed, please contact the Support Center.
This is a highly subjective selection, but I will introduce Lingo textiles.
If you would like to see the products in a list, please view ApparelX's manufacturer-specific product list page here.
This is a traditional functional material called 60/40 cloth, made of 60% cotton and 40% nylon, but this textile uses double yarn for the weft, which increases horizontal firmness throughout the textile and gives it a fuller feel. The fine horizontal ridges unique to grosgrain also pair extremely well with the matte sheen. Personally, the subtle brown in color number 23 is my recommended color.
It uses a yarn called Techna Cotton, which is a blend of polyester microfiber and Pima cotton, and is characterized by a soft touch.
It has a slight brushed feel like peach skin. Because it has been bio-tumbled, it has a relaxed look rather than a brand-new glossy one.
Also, since it uses polyester, it is lighter than it looks and is a material that also offers wrinkle resistance and quick-drying properties, which are also characteristics of polyester.
There are many different weather cloth materials, but the more you touch and look at this one, the more rich and full of character it feels.
This is a memory chambray material made with yarn-dyed polyester thread.
The distinctive sheen and smooth, moist hand feel of memory material are pleasant, and its shape retention makes it ideal for outerwear and similar items.
Memory material in chambray form is surprisingly rare, so this is definitely a material I hope you will try.
This textile has a vintage finish applied to an acetate satin weave. It is characterized by a silk-like sheen and the soft touch unique to acetate.
I think seeing the actual fabric in person will best convey its appeal. Is it just me, or does it somehow also have a Japanese wabi-sabi atmosphere...?
It is a bit specific, but I would recommend it for sukajan jackets and similar items.
Thank you for reading to the end.
Lingo develops materials with a strong sense of craftsmanship, and I hope you can feel even a little of what makes them special.
Please consider Lingo textiles!
