There is no strict definition of trouser fabric, as there is a wide variety of models. Classic options with arrows, cargo pants, light summer products: all of this falls under the definition of "trousers". Nevertheless, the main types of fabrics that are most often used for sewing can be distinguished.
- Woolen... The composition is dominated by natural fibers, a small percentage of synthetic fibers are allowed to improve wear resistance. These are fabrics from which warm winter clothes are made, designed for cold weather.
- Stretch... Such materials are distinguished by high elasticity, stretch well, but at the same time they sit on the figure. This effect is achieved with the help of synthetic fibers, therefore, the stretch fabric is either completely artificial in composition, or belongs to blended fabrics.
- Cotton... Natural materials have a breathable structure and absorb moisture well, they are often used for sewing summer clothes. Also, demi-season pants can be made from cotton, if the canvas is dense enough.
- Gabardine... In terms of composition, they can be artificial or natural: from wool, cotton. The peculiarity is the characteristic interweaving of threads, which creates a certain relief.They are durable and dense materials that hold their shape well and keep you warm in cool weather.

In recent years, wrinkle-free fabric has also been in demand. Products made from it do not need to be ironed, it is enough just to gently dry them after washing. This saves time, which is why many people are looking for fabric that does not wrinkle. Most often these are synthetic materials: polyester, spandex, nylon, lycra. They are abrasion resistant, flexible, inexpensive, but impermeable and can irritate the skin.
In addition, it is considered wrinkle-free very dense wool, but trousers are rarely sewn from it, since the material is too thick.
However, you can choose a thinner version: it will keep its shape and remain crease-resistant, but you still have to iron the items after washing.
