S number (wool) : ウィキペディア英語版 | S number (wool)
An S number on the label of a wool suit, or other tailored wool apparel, indicates the fineness of the wool fiber used in the making of the apparel. The numbers may also be found on wool fabric and yarn. The S numbers for fine wool products are intended to state, with precision, the fineness of the wool fiber used in the product, as measured in micrometres. Fiber fineness is one of the factors determining the quality and performance of a wool product. In recent years it has also become an important marketing device used by many mills, garment makers, and retailers. The S number appears as a plural with an " s " or " 's " following the number, such as 100s or 100's. ==Super S== The S number often is used in conjunction with the word "super" which originally meant the best wool, (called choice wool in the United States) 〔''Fairchild's Dictionary of Textiles'', 7th Edition, 1996, p. 115.〕 As now used Super means pure new wool and can also be used for fabrics made from wool blended with rare fiber (such as mohair, cashmere wool and alpaca), and also with silk. The inclusion of Elastane to give the fabric a stretch effect is permitted, as also is the inclusion of up to 5% non-wool yarn for decorative effects. For wool blend fabric descriptions, the word Super is not permitted. Subject to the wool content being at least 45%, the S number may be used.〔International Wool Textile Organisation Fabric Labelling Code of Practice〕
