Woven fabric excellent in transparency, and down jacket

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a woven fabric having high transparency that a batting is made see-through, having a strength necessary for side clothes of clothing or futons, and further having a low air-permeability in order to provide an unprecedented clothing or futon whose batting is seen through. A woven fabric of the present invention is characterized in comprising a multifilament having a single yarn fineness of 0.5 to 3.0 dtex and a total fineness of 3 to 25 dtex, wherein the woven fabric has a cover factor of 1300 to 2500, a visible light transmittance of 25% to 80%, and an L* value of 37 or higher.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A woven fabric, comprising a multifilament having a single yarn fineness of 0.5 to 3.0 dtex and a total fineness of 3 to 25 dtex, wherein
 the woven fabric has a cover factor of 1300 to 2500,   a visible light transmittance of 25% to 80%, and   an L* value of 37 or higher.   
     
     
         2 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the multifilament has a refractive index of 1.47 to 1.57 in a fiber cross-sectional direction.   
     
     
         3 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the multifilament contains titanium oxide in an amount of 0% to 0.5% by mass, and   the multifilament has a breaking strength of 3.5 to 10 cN/dtex.   
     
     
         4 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein
 at least one surface of the woven fabric is subjected to calendering, and   the woven fabric has a fluorine resin coating on a surface thereof.   
     
     
         5 . A down jacket comprising:
 a woven fabric as set for in  claim 1  as a side cloth; and   a colored batting.
