 ANTISTATIC FINISH
Synthetic fabrics are hydrophobic in nature and tend to
accumulate static electricity. This static electricity causes
problem such as clinging of the garment, attraction of dirt and
sparking. These fabrics are given a chemical treatment, which
enables the fabric to attract and retain water molecules. This
helps to dissipate electric charge from the fabric surface and
making the fabric more comfortable to children.

Brands which use this finish:

Burberry
Adidas
GAP
Antimicrobial
finish
Antimicrobial finishes are applied to the garments
like sports wear, leisure wear, T-shirts, socks, wipes
etc. Antimicrobial are used to control the growth of
algae, bacteria and yeast. This prevents the fabric
from rotting, staining, unpleasant odors and other
health concerns like physical irritation, allergic
sensitization etc.

Brands that use this finish:

Marks and Spencer
Adidas
Nike
Crease-
retentive
finish
It is also called as permanent press finish, or durable
press finish. A resin treatment is given to a fabric,
which is then stitched into a garment, eg, a pleated
skirt for girls. Heat treatment is applied to the
garment to have a permanent pleat. It does not
require ironing but may require light pressing.

Marks and Spencer
Moth-
resistant
finish
Wool is susceptible to attack by moth. If
the wool is treated with certain chemicals
like fluorine compounds, chlorinated
sulphonamides, quaternary phosphonium
compounds it is not damaged by moth
and carpet beetle. This is given to woollen
sweaters and woollen garments of
children.

Brands that use this finish:

Monte carlo
Gap
Cherry crumble
Burberry
Soil release
finish 
This finish is mainly applied to sports-wear of the
children, which helps the garment from getting
stained. The finishes that give soil release are:
Polymer containing carboxylic groups. Compounds
containing oxyethylene or hydroxyl groups.
Fluorocarbons containing hydrophilic groups
chemically reactive compounds. This helps the
garment from getting stained.

Brands that use this finish:

Adidas
Nike
Puma
Burberry
Anti-shrink/anti-stretch
treatment
Anti-shrinking is a process in which the dimensional instability is
avoided. This makes the fabric dimensionally stable. The material used
for children's wear should be treated with anti-shrink or anti-stretch
treatment.

Allen Solly Junior
Marks and Spencer
GAP
Anti Pilling
Pills are masses of tangled fibres that appear on
fabric surfaces during wear or laundering. Loose
fibres are pulled from yarns and are formed into
spherical balls by the frictional forces of
abrasion. Anti pilling finish reduces the forming
of pills on fabrics and knitted products made
from yarns with a synthetic-fibre content, which
are inclined to pilling by their considerable
strength, flexibility and resistance to impact.

Brands that use this finish:

BEEBAY
GAP
Under Armour
