Dyes and prints: pigments, penetration, prints, colorfastness. Finished: resin reduces strength and abrasion resistance, napped affects durability and abrasion resistance. End use: determined by aesthetic, performance and fab cost. Durability and serviceability: signs of wear, fading, shrinking, stretching out of shape. Special performance: quilted fabs- thick warm and soft, batting, film- stiff drape, smooth, water repellent.
