An article of apparel and method of making the article of apparel for a wearer is disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the article of apparel comprises a fabric defining a first, inner surface facing the wearer, and a second, outer surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of compression areas are formed along the inner fabric surface, each compression area comprising compressed yarns. A sealing agent effective to reduce the air permeability of the fabric is applied to each compression area. The sealing agent secures the yarns in a compressed state.

The present invention provides a mop cleaning cloth and a method for manufacturing the same. The mop cleaning cloth comprises, sequentially from bottom to top, a base cloth layer, a water-absorption layer and a dirt removal layer. The dirt removal layer is formed by high terry fabrics and low terry fabrics. The ratio of the terry height of the high terry fabrics to the terry height of the low terry fabrics is 1.1-5:1. The high terry fabrics have a terry height of 2-20 mm and low terry fabrics have a terry height of 1-10 mm. The water-absorption layer is formed by a water-absorption fabric made from water-absorption fibers. The base cloth layer is formed by a terry fabric. The manufacturing method is simple, and the mop cleaning cloth is easy to manufacture and has the advantages of being small in resistance, high in water absorptivity and dirt collection and removal capacity, and the like.

Provided is a synthetic leather in which the occurrence of ease wrinkles can be inhibited or reduced. This synthetic leather comprises a cloth (10), and a resin layer (20) laminated on the cloth (10). The cloth (10) is a tricot knitted fabric knitted with front yarn, middle yarn, and back yarn, and having a nap (12). The tricot knitted fabric has a cord stitch structure knitted with the front yarn, a denbigh stitch structure or cord stitch structure knitted with the middle yarn, and an inlay structure or cord stitch structure knitted with the back yarn. The nap (12) is formed by napping a sinker loop side of the tricot knitted fabric.

The invention relates to a plush pile knitted product and a knitting machine for the production thereof. Said knitted product comprises knitting threads (9), weft threads (10, 11), and front (14) and rear (12) plush threads, whereas the rear plush threads (12) are cut off at given intervals (a) to form plush pile on the front surface of the product. Said knitting machine comprises a housing (26). On the housing (26), over the entire length of the machine multiple closing safety plates (23) that can move vertically, and push plates (22) for pressing the weft threads (10 and 11) are mounted. Each rear plush plate (8) comprises a cutting disc (27) to cut the rear plush threads (12). Each of the threads (9,14,10,11,12) is fed in using a separate step motor (25).
