The process of softening and making a rugged workwear garment more comfortable to wear is essential. A stiff, durable outer layer, like those often found in heavy-duty coats, can initially feel restrictive. Modifying the fabric through various methods enhances its flexibility and feel against the body.
Altering the texture of robust outerwear improves its wearability, allowing for a greater range of motion and reduced stiffness. This translates to increased comfort during extended periods of use, particularly in physically demanding environments. Historically, achieving this required significant time and repeated exposure to the elements, but modern techniques offer faster and more controlled solutions.
