Woven fabric and garment using same

Abstract

A lightweight and thin woven fabric has a soft texture and excellent wind-breaking properties and is therefore suitable for wind breakers, down jackets, and the like. The woven fabric has a plain-weave structure including a warp polyamide multifilament and a weft polyamide multifilament, wherein each of the warp polyamide multifilament and the weft polyamide multifilament has a total fineness of 17 dtex or less, and at least one of the warp polyamide multifilament and the weft polyamide multifilament has a single-filament fineness of 0.7 dtex or less and a fabric breakdown thread tenacity of 4.5 cN/dtex or more, and the woven fabric has a cover factor of 1700 or more.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A woven fabric having a plain-weave structure comprising:
 a warp polyamide multifilament and a weft polyamide multifilament, wherein   each of the warp polyamide multifilament and the weft polyamide multifilament has a total fineness of 17 dtex or less; and   at least one of the warp polyamide multifilament and the weft polyamide multifilament has a single-filament fineness of 0.7 dtex or less and a fabric breakdown thread tenacity of 4.5 cN/dtex or more; and   the woven fabric has a cover factor of 1700 or more.   
     
     
         2 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , having a tear strength of 6 N or more in both warp and weft directions. 
     
     
         3 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , whose initial air permeability and air permeability after laundry are 1 cm 3 /cm 2 /s or less. 
     
     
         4 . The woven fabric according to  claim 1 , whose bending rigidity based on KES is 0.008 gf·cm 2 /cm or less. 
     
     
         5 . A garment using the woven fabric according to  claim 1 .
