Vinyl

Vinyl is not just the well-known records. This is a fabric, and nowadays clothes made from it are in particular demand among fashionistas, tourists and athletes. Vinyl is a completely synthetic material and does not get wet (drops of water are not absorbed, but flow down over its surface). At the same time, it holds its shape well, and the variety of colors of modern vinyl products is pleasantly surprising.

Story

This material was first obtained in France in 1835. Moreover, this discovery happened completely by accident: several scientists mixed various synthetic components and conducted experiments with them.

However, vinyl entered mass production only in the first half of the twentieth century, when it was patented in Germany in 1939. Today, the main producers of this fabric are China and South Korea.

Peculiarities

Vinyl is a simplified name for synthetic fiber. The full name is polyvinyl chloride. It is a mixture of resin, rubber, paint, plastic and glue. As a result of various chemical reactions, a vinyl sheet is obtained - perfectly smooth, soft and pleasant to the touch.

For example, a vinyl raincoat (both men's and women's versions) perfectly protects from rain, and in combination with stylish boots with thick soles it will look brutal, rough, but very stylish.

A biker jacket made of this fabric goes well with a voluminous hat, a wool scarf and straight-fit jeans. This sporty look is suitable for daily walks.

A tight vinyl dress looks tempting when paired with high heels. True, such an outfit will only decorate an ideal figure; in other cases, the image can turn out to be vulgar and tasteless.
