1. What is Jong Stit Faux Rabbit Fur?
Jong Stit’s Faux Rabbit Fur is engineered to replicate the density and drape of real fur without the ethical concerns. Unlike standard furs that may shed or matte, this synthetic fabric utilizes high-density knitting to ensure longevity and a silky hand-feel.
- Thermal Performance: Traps heat effectively for superior warmth.
- Texture: Dense pile that feels smooth and expensive.
- Sustainability: A 100% animal-free solution for conscious brands.
2. Why Choose Sherpa Fabric Over Wool?
Best for: Casual Outerwear & Cozy Home Textiles
Sherpa Fabric from Jong Stit offers the classic rugged aesthetic of wool but significantly improves on comfort and weight. It addresses common issues found in traditional wool, such as heaviness and skin irritation (itchiness).
- Weight: Provides high insulation without being heavy on the shoulders.
- Breathability: Regulates temperature to prevent overheating.
- Maintenance: Durable and easier to clean than natural wool.
3. How is Jumbo Cord Fabric Different?
Best for: Structured jackets and Interior Design.
Jumbo Cord is defined by its wide, prominent ribs (wales), distinguishing it from standard corduroy. It combines visual structure with unexpected softness, making it versatile for both apparel and furniture.
- Visual Impact: Wide ribs capture light to create depth and dimension.
- Touch: Despite its rugged look, the surface is cushioned and plush.
- Durability: Holds its shape well, suitable for daily wear or upholstery use.
