Oxford cloth is a versatile , a new type of fabric with a wide range of uses. Currently, the main varieties on the market include: lattice, full elastic, nylon, teguet and other varieties. Oxford cloth, also called Oxford spinning, mostly uses polyester-polyester-cotton blended yarn interwoven with cotton yarn, and adopts weft-heavy flat or square weave. It has the characteristics of easy washing, quick drying, soft touch, good hygroscopicity and comfortable wearing. Oxford spinning is a fabric weaving method, which refers to the overlapping sequence of horizontal and vertical cotton yarns during weaving. Oxford fabrics are actually low- to medium-grade shirt fabrics. [Luggage Oxford Cloth – 600D Oxford Cloth]
Canvas is a thicker cotton or linen fabric. Named after it was originally used for ship sails. Generally, plain weave is mostly used, and a small amount of twill weave is used. The warp and weft yarns are all made of multi-strand threads. Canvas is usually divided into two categories: coarse canvas and fine canvas. Rough canvas, also known as tarpaulin, is commonly woven with No. 58 (10-inch) 4 to 7-strand yarn. The fabric is strong and resistant to folding, and has good waterproof properties. It is used for automobile transportation and open-air warehouse coverings, as well as for tents in the wild. The warp and weft yarns of fine canvas are generally 2 strands of No. 58 to 6 strands of No. 28 (10 inches/2 to 21 inches/6), which are used to make labor protection clothing and supplies. After dyeing, it can also be used as fabric for shoes, travel bags, backpacks, etc. In addition, there are rubber canvas, shielding canvas for fire protection and radiation protection, and canvas for paper machines.
The difference between the two is: Oxford cloth Generally used on chemical fiber fabrics, it has the characteristics of soft hand feeling, good hygroscopicity, comfortable wearing, easy to wash, quick drying, elasticity and other characteristics. Multi-purpose polyester-cotton blended yarn is interwoven with cotton yarn, and the weft weight flat or square weave is used. Canvas includes cotton canvas, polyester-cotton canvas, or nylon-cotton canvas, but it has no elasticity, feels a bit hard to the touch, and is wear-resistant.
