Although the lining fabric is not visible on the outside, it has a significant impact on fit, durability, and sewing completeness. Taffeta and twill series are frequently considered fabrics for clothing lining fabrics, and selection criteria vary depending on texture, hand feel, and intended use.
Characteristics of the taffeta series
Taffeta is a lining fabric that is relatively smooth and lightweight and is used in a variety of clothing. There are differences in gloss, thickness, and density depending on the product, and can be considered if smooth sliding is required when worn.
Characteristics of the twill series
Twill is a series with a diagonal texture and is generally selected for stability and durability. It is suitable when you need to check the texture and strength of the lining fabric in jackets, coats, uniforms, etc.
Things to check when choosing
The lining fabric must be checked for friction with the shell fabric, static electricity, transparency, color, sewability, and washing conditions. Even if it is the same poly series, the wearing comfort may vary depending on the texture and post-processing.
Color and delivery lead time management
Color matching and repeat ordering stability are important for lining fabric. In seasonal production, it is recommended to organize the required colors and quantities in advance to reduce out-of-stock or dyeing deviations.
Information Needed for Consultation
It's easy to review a suitable lining fabric if you let us know the garment being applied, shell fabric color, desired hand feel, number of colors, expected usage, and delivery lead time schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sample testing necessary?
Because results can vary depending on the fabric, sewing conditions and washing requirements, sample testing before mass production is recommended.
Can you match the feel of an existing material?
If possible, please share an existing material sample, photos, weight, width and composition information. This helps us review similar options more quickly.

Additional Points When Choosing Taffeta and Twill
Although lining is not highly visible from the outside, it directly affects wearing comfort, static and durability. Taffeta can be useful for products that need a light and smooth feel, while twill is suitable when texture and stability are needed. The final choice should be judged according to outer fabric thickness and garment use.
Sample Stage Checklist
- Check whether the combined outer fabric and lining feel too heavy.
- For light colors, check lining show-through and color transfer risk.
- Check shifting during sewing, static and cutting stability.
- For repeatedly worn products such as coats and uniforms, also check friction durability.
Consultation Criteria Before Ordering
If you provide the outer fabric sample, garment application, desired color, required quantity and delivery schedule, suitable lining options between taffeta and twill can be suggested more accurately.
