Ladies Legging

LADIES LEGGING employs a 1152-needle gauge double-knit construction, with fabric composed of 95% polyester and 5% spandex. High-gauge knitting forms a dense loop arrangement, reducing light penetration. Size 9-11 corresponds to waist 68-76cm and hip 90-98cm measurement ranges. The polyester base provides dimensional stability, while the spandex component imparts longitudinal and lateral stretch capacity for daily movement requirements.

Core Advantages

Fabric Density: 1152N gauge increases loop count per unit area to 4 times that of conventional knits, enhancing fabric compactness, reducing pore size, and lowering visible light transmittance. Double-knit structure presents identical surface texture on the face and back sides.

Dimensional Retention: 95% polyester content maintains a low dimensional change rate after laundering, with leg length and circumference remaining stable through repeated wear. Spandex fibers recover to their original length within a short time frame after extension.

Moisture Transport: Smooth polyester fiber surface facilitates the wicking effect, transferring liquid perspiration from the skin side to the fabric exterior, expanding evaporation surface area. Drying time in still air is shorter than that of natural fiber fabrics.

Service Durability: Polyester breaking elongation of 25-35%, combined with a high-gauge interlock structure, maintains structural integrity under repeated stretch and friction conditions.

Application Scenarios

Daily Outing: 1152N dense structure suitable for direct outer wear with tops extending to or below the hip line. Polyester wrinkle resistance reduces fold accumulation at the knees and seat after prolonged sitting.

Office Environment: Fabric thickness adapts to air-conditioned interior temperatures of 20-24°C, providing leg coverage in direct airflow zones. Waistband pressure is relatively low, suitable for extended sitting periods.

Light Physical Activity: Four-way stretch capacity covers low-intensity movements such as walking and stretching, with fabric returning to its original position after deformation.

Travel Packing: Fabric compresses and folds, occupying minimal luggage space. Quick-dry properties support washing and reuse during travel.

Care & Maintenance

Maintain water temperature below 30°C during washing, using pH-neutral cleaning products. Avoid chlorine bleach—sodium hypochlorite oxidizes ester bonds in polyester molecules, reducing fiber strength.

Turn inside out for washing to reduce friction between the fabric face and the washing machine interior. Separate dark and light colors to prevent dye transfer in wet conditions.

Avoid direct sunlight when drying—prolonged UV exposure initiates polyester molecular chain scission, resulting in a stiff hand feel. When hang-drying, avoid placing full weight on the waistband to prevent rib structure deformation.

Ironing temperature not exceeding 110°C; steam ironing removes minor creases. Avoid direct contact between iron and areas with higher spandex content.

Store folded flat in drawers or on shelves; long-term hanging stretches the waistband. Maintain a dry storage environment, with a relative humidity recommended below 70%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 1152N gauge specifically indicate?
Gauge represents needle count per inch on the knitting cylinder. 1152N means 1152 needles arranged per inch length, forming small, tightly packed loops that improve surface smoothness and reduce porosity.

Is 5% spandex sufficient for elasticity?
Spandex fibers stretch 400-500%; 5% content creates an elastic network within the fabric, providing approximately 30% stretch range. This proportion covers daily activity requirements while controlling fabric cost and wearing pressure.

Will static electricity occur during wear?
Polyester moisture regain of 0.4% may generate static buildup in dry environments below 40% relative humidity. Pairing with cotton or wool tops reduces charge accumulation. Fabric softener decreases static frequency.

How to determine if size 9-11 fits?
Measure hip circumference as the primary criterion, as this determines whether the garment can be donned and doffed smoothly. Waist accommodates variation within the range due to spandex presence. If hip measurement falls between sizes, select the larger size to avoid crotch tightness.
