QST WAISTBAND COLLECTION
Types of waistband
Plain Waistband
Plain waistband is a simple construction made with fabric (pocketing), sewn with canvas. The choice of canvas determines the handfeel and stiffness. While the fabric can be printed or made with traditional pocketing, eg. twill, herringbone, plain weave, etc. It can be used in all fashion types.
Pleated Waistband
Pleated waistband is 2 to 3-layered construction made with 1 to 3 fabric style, sewn with canvas. It is commonly used in dress pants. Piping can be added to add a little highlight into the component. Logo can be added to the pipping fabric to customise for your brands. The addition of layers further enhance the handfeel.
Pleated Waistband with Insert Tape
Pleated waistband with insert tape has more functionality than a regular pleated waistband. It has a heavier handfeel owing to the multiple layers. Pleated waistband are sometimes inserted with grippers that can be useful on men’s workwear pants and also dress pants.
