Thank you Chewy and Angie! So, now I'd like to know - how can you tell when ordering something online? For example, the jacket from B.R. that Neeva linked to? It is part wool and part nylon - would that be a knit????? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-else-who-knows#post-231230 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:25:29 +0000 Angie 231230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These posts might help: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/03/12/fabrics-101-knits-versus-wovens/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/03/.....us-wovens/</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/08/27/the-pros-and-cons-of-knits-and-wovens/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/08/.....nd-wovens/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-else-who-knows#post-231224 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:18:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 231224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The difference between a knitted fabric and a woven is the way they are made- wovens are woven on looms, and knits are knitted. This results in a difference in the way the materials feel and act. Woven have very little stretch (unless there is some stretchy fiber added to it)- think of the typical fabric a man's dress shirt is made from. That is a woven fabric. Knits stretch by nature- think of T shirt material.<br /> I hope that helps a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-else-who-knows#post-231219 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:15:56 +0000 Marley 231219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that in response to Reneeb's question about the tuxedo jacket at GAP that Angie is saying "pass" if it is a knitted jersey - and recommending instead a woven. What is the difference between the two? I really don't know. Also, what kinds of clothes would be best with either fabric? </p>
