Activity 4.1
1. What is your most preferred fabric for men's trouser?
-I preferred the cotton twill fabric for men's trouser.

2. How will you select the appropriate fabric for formal men's trouser?
- It’s important that your trousers are weather or season appropriate, as you’ll likely be wearing
them for most, if not all, of the day. For colder climates it’s best to opt for a material that will
retain heat well, and has extra thickness to keep breezy winds at bay. A thicker woven canvas,
corduroy or even a waterproof material will help protect you against the elements.
Remember that you’ll want your trousers to feel comfortable against the skin, so a silk blend or
100% genuine silk could be a stylish – and comfortable option – for a more formal look. The
fibers retain heat as well as being breathable, so they’re versatile and ideal for transitioning from
day to night in style. Silk is a particularly flattering fabric and looks great on most body types.
Linen is ideal for a classic, casual Summer look and is perfect for those warmer days, with a
light, airy feel and maximum breathability.

3. For casual men's trousers, what fabrjc will you select?why?

Cotton twill is best for the formal trousers because of its tight weave and soft surface. Lighter
weight cotton fabrics have a tendency to wrinkle with regular use. On the other hand, use of
wrinkle resistant coating makes the fabric less breathable. Therefore, the best decision is to stick
with cotton twill.
