JKL Facts - Clothing Terminology

At JKL Clothing we work with clothing everyday so are familiar with the terms used to describe the many different types of clothing styles, designs, fabrics etc. This terminology is often used in the product descriptions on our website and so, can be useful to understand when you are selecting the types and style of garment for your order.

We have therefore decided to write a few blogs on the subject of clothing terminology in the hope that it will clarify to our customers what the varying terms mean.

Yoke – This is a piece of clothing material that is sewn into a garment in order to support other looser material on the garment. In shirts, such as polo shirts it is sewn around the back of the neck and shoulder. In trousers and skirts it is sewn around the waist thus supporting the hanging fabric in the legs or the rest of the skirt.

Placket – This means “to lay on” and in clothing refers to allowing the garment to be put on and taken off more easily. In shirts for example the placket can be found on the front where the buttons are and also on the cuff at the end of the sleeve. They are almost always made of more than one layer of fabric.

The above image is a Fruit of the Loom polo shirt showing a front buttoned placket.

Taped Neckline – A taped neckline is a piece of fabric covering the stitching between the garment body and the collar. It strengthens the garment but also and more importantly makes the garment more comfortable to wear.

In our next blog we will look at different types of fabrics and what the descriptions actually mean. In the mean time why not do a spot of shopping and check out our casual leisurewear clothing and see if you can spot our terminology.
