The first pair of Track Pants was introduced in the 1920s by Émile Camuset. The track pants were simple knitted gray jersey pants that allowed athletes to stretch and run comfortably.
Track pants are usually made from cotton or polyester, often of a heavy knit. They often have elastic in the waistband, drawstrings, and may or may not have pockets. Some track pants can also feature elasticized cuffs at the hem of the leg. Track pants are traditionally ash gray in color but are now available in most colors. Traditionally quite "baggy" and loose, track pants are now also available in more form-fitting shapes; moreover they have flexibility and comfort. In addition, this design traps less heat than most conventional, lightweight trousers, which may be a disadvantage in some conditions such as cold temperatures and an advantage in others such as body heat–increasing aerobic activities. Warmer varieties can be made from polar fleece.
Once these practical pants were only worn for sporting events and at home. Now, they are available in many fashionable styles and are worn in a variety of public situations. Because of their comfort and fashion, they have become a popular choice of clothing. The track pants may come from many different materials and in many forms including thick and thin. The track pants is sometimes associated with certain lifestyles such as gym culture or hip-hop culture. This niche-specific perception of the track pants since the 1980s has at times resulted in extensive dress code regulations with some outlets outright banning the wearing of track pants on their premises; including some German cafes and a substantial amount of night clubs worldwide.
1) Normal Wash Track Pants Production:
Normal wash Track Pants Production consists of washing garments in hot water with adequate detergent and softener, rinse with plain water and dry in tumble dryer until it is 100% dry. Some sodium is added to lend the track pants a prominent washed look. Water temperature, proportion of components of wash is adjusted as per requirement of wash and types of fabric; the track pants are made of. The softener makes the fiber soft and tumble-drying makes the fabric fluffier. Our expert technician can handle washing by an expedient way to solve many problems arising out during washing. Washing can also affect different track pants parts differently. Shell fabric may be solid color while pocket may be white pocketing piece. After washing, it may appear that pocketing piece has been stained.
2) Pigment Wash Track Pants Production:
Pigment Wash Track Pants production is similar to normal wash but a bit costlier. The track pants are solid color pigment dye. The requirement is that the color should fade evenly to lend the track pants a prominent washed look. Pigment wash requires a higher temperature of water than a normal wash.
3) Bleach Wash Track Pants Production:
Bleach wash track pants production means that bleach chemical is used in water while washing in a tumble washer. Strict washing time is a requirement with such wash because otherwise the track pants may be over bleached and the color cannot be reversed.
4) Stone Wash Track Pants Production:
Stone wash track pants production means washing track pants with special stones so that track pants achieve a very strong washed effect. Volcanic stones are used in such wash abrade exposed parts of the track pants, this idea of washing with porous volcanic stones is to give the track pants a strong and rough wash to achieve the pronounced washed effect through abrasion on the exposed areas, such as the seams and pocket corners.
Sometimes, bleach is added to the wash so that the color fades in a more pronounced manner. This is done to make navy track pants into a more faded light blue. Such wash requires a lot of skill, experience; workmanship and expertise so that desired results are achieved.
5) Acid Wash Track Pants Production:
Acid wash track pants production is a patented process and can be used only by permission. Acid wash track pants production is also a kind of stone wash. The wash is performed in two steps: in the first step, track pants are washed without water and in the 2nd step with water.
The treated stones carry the chemical to bleach the exposed parts and bleach them to white. But the hidden parts remain untouched. Whitening agents are often added to water during rinse to make the white color in the track pants whiter to display acid wash.
6) Enzyme Wash Track Pants Production:
Enzyme wash track pants production is performed with a kind of live cell. Enzyme can break some fibers of fabric and gives the fabric special effect desired on the track pants. Enzyme wash provides the fabric a soft, sanded or “peached” effect very desirable on many track pants.
7) Caustic Wash Track Pants Production:
Caustic wash track pants production is a pre- printing wash. Caustic is a strong chemical with highly corrosive features. Prior to printing on cotton fabrics, gray goods are treated in boiling water with caustic, which also has strong cleaning power, especially for grease. This caustic wash track pants production can remove all soil, dirt, grease, fine particles of cotton seeds as well as all foreign materials. As a result, only pure cotton fiber in the fabric for printing is left. It leads to stability of printing and well-cleaned fabric. However, when we want to do caustic wash on track pants, we just do the opposite of the above; prior to printing, fabric is not treated with caustic wash for cleaning.
Printing is done on the row & unclean fabric so that about 30% of the printing done on the surface may eventually fade away. Finally, printed track pants are caustic washed. It leads to, about 30% of the printing washed away along with the foreign materials- leaving about 70% of the printing on the fabric. It eventually makes the design or stripe of the desired look. For this type of wash, the printing must be pigment print with a binder. Baking treatment should also be performed so that the color will stay on the fabric more or less securely to coincide with the caustic wash to be done later.
8) Garment Wash Track Pants Production And Over-Dye Track Pants Production:
This type of wash is also used for track pants to give them an exclusive look. Garment wash track pants production creates a unique but different look. In this process of wash, the lining or pocketing will pick up the color too. By this garment wash, direct dye or reactive dye same as dyeing fabrics or yarn may be used. Direct dye is cheap. So, direct dye may be utilized with the concomitant use of color fixing agent, after dying to make the color more stable. In case of solid color fabric staining within the track pants is not a problem. However, if track pants of different colors are washed together by the consumers, color may transfer to other track pants. Reactive dye is always preferable in this case.
