Poplin - Poplin (English spelling)

Japanese: ポプリン - ぽぷりん(英語表記)poplin
Poplin - Poplin (English spelling)

Generally, it is a plain weave fabric with some weft ribbing, using single yarns of about 40 count. A similar fabric is broadcloth, but it often uses two-ply yarns of 60 count or more, and is a higher quality product than poplin. For sales purposes, it is better to call it broadcloth than poplin, so some labels do not match the content and quality. In the 16th century, weft-ribbed silk fabric was made in Avignon, France, and it is said to have been named poplin because Avignon was under the jurisdiction of the Pope at the time. The fabric is often made of cotton, but can also be made from wool, silk, and synthetic fibers, and is often used for shirts and blouses.

Japanese:

一般に約40番手ぐらいの単糸を使い、やや緯畝(よこうね)のある平織に織った織物。これと同様な生地(きじ)にブロードがあるが、60番手以上の双糸を使っていることが多く、ポプリンより高級品である。販売上からは、ポプリンよりブロードとするのがよいため内容と品質が一致しない表示もある。16世紀にフランスのアビニョンで緯畝の絹織物がつくられ、アビニョンが当時ポープつまり教皇の所管地であったため、ポプリンと名づけられたという。生地は綿が多いが、毛、絹、化合繊ともつくられ、多くはシャツ、ブラウス地などに使われている。
