Costumes For 5 Years? No Warranty? The Future Is Uncertain.

　　 We all know that buying food depends on the date of production and the expiration date of the food bag. Then, should the clothing have the expiration date? I sent this question to several friends, and their answers were very interesting.

"You think it's the new three years, the old three years, the sewing time is three years. What clothes should be worn to the shelf life?"

" clothes It is supposed to mark the factory date. But different manufacturing processes and different preservation methods will have different shelf-life. It is necessary to mark the shelf-life of different types of clothing, and the clothing factory is not dead. "

Fashion is the shelf life of a garment. The new clothes are not fashionable and put into the wardrobe, so the clothes have passed the shelf-life. An old garment is in line with the owner's appetite, and it is revitalized again, and the shelf life is extended.

Looking at so many replies, I can not help but feel confused. Should clothes have a shelf-life? How should they be shelf-life?

　　 Tail cargo market It has to be expired.

"This is my pure foreign card, Japan's big name. You see, this work, this zipper, is not the standard of stall. Why is the price low? This is a product that has been in storage for several years, and it has just been able to rebuild the day. It was impossible to sell it that year? These small Japanese have contracts with the factories. Orders can only be sold after 5 years. If you take it out early, there will be no next order in the factory. "In the market of Tian Lan Tian Wu, Beijing, a wholesaler introduced his new product to the author. He was very excited when he introduced it.

"It's been 5 years? No warranty?" I asked.

"Clothes do not need shelf life. Look at the color of the army green, which is much in line with this year's fashion. Don't look at other people's clothes for five years, they can still wear stars. The vendor obviously did not catch the author's shelf life. He thought that good clothes should be put up for a long time and should be appreciated.

This is not the most exaggerated. I saw a vendor selling Russian goods at a stall. External order Jeans, 20 yuan each, gathered a lot of people around. These trousers feel very thick and have an old effect. When I saw the zipper, the author concluded that it was not "old but old". Because there is a layer of green copper that is hard to wipe off.

"Why are these pants so cheap?" I asked.

"These trousers have survived for almost 10 years. Pressure stock, so it's a sale. " The peddler said.

"Is there a shelf life on clothes?" I asked.

"Never heard of it. You can see for yourself. This is Russian, the real price list. Vendors are obviously more concerned about how to prove that their products are foreign orders, and that the question of "shelf life" is not at all serious.

During lunch time, reporters and a peddler talked about the shelf-life of the tail cargo. He said the tail goods were sold out of date. They can't get out of things that are missing for years. Factories also do not label shelf-life. He thinks that it is a bit difficult to discuss the shelf-life of tail cargo. It is better to consider whether these goods are new clothes or clothes worn by others. He said foreign garbage clothes were sometimes mixed into the tail market. Because there is no disinfection procedure, it is impossible to judge the physical condition of the wearer. Such clothing has great harm to spread the disease.

"As long as the sale of tail goods is really factory deposit certificate, it is in line with the rules of our line. As for the shelf life, should it belong to the factory? "

Clothing factory: better than standard

There are some garment factories around Beijing. These garment factories often live in order processing. "It means making OEM for some brands, such as only. What is marked in the order form, let me mark what we are marking. Sometimes people set the labels up, so we are going to stitch them up. I haven't heard about the warranty period. If we do not explain what is on the order contract, it will be more troublesome to do more. The head of a garment factory told the author.

"If you ask the garment factory to mark the date of production, can you do it?" I asked.

"There should be no problem. After coming out of our clothing, we must pass the inspection by the quality inspector. After checking, there is no problem marking the factory date. The problem is that no one asks us to mark it. " The person in charge replied.

Privately, a designer working in a clothing factory told me that the clothing factory was reluctant to identify the date of the factory. They have certain allowance for each order. These allowances can enter the market after the stipulated date of the contract. If all of the above are factory dates, it will be too long for consumers to feel that they are not conducive to the sale of these goods. The above is not marked, traders can explain the factory time as required.

The clothing factory is somewhat confused about the "shelf life" issue I threw. They said that the process of indicating the expiration date on clothes is too cumbersome.

"The length of the warranty period, we garment factory must say that it does not count, then we must get the authority of the fiber sector to identify. The fabric of a garment is likely to consist of several fabrics blended with different fabrics. Some are cortical, others are hemp, some are silk, some are wool, some are cotton, others are chemical fibers. In order to set a shelf-life for clothes, how many departments do we need to identify? Sometimes we only make a small batch of clothes of one style, so our profit is not enough to guarantee the quality. A garment factory owner, who did not want to be named, said.

Old expert: fiber can be recycled.

In addition to the production process, the identification of the shelf-life of clothing is more important. But for some fibers, the length of their shelf-life is somewhat unexpected.

"Woollen products can be recycled. This will greatly expand the raw material resources of woolen textile and have a bright future. Li Chun, senior engineer of China Wool Textile Industry Association, said. {page_break}

China is a large country of wool spinning. More than 80% of raw materials depend on imports. Our country imports large quantities of raw wool from Australia and New Zealand every year. Wool fiber production is restricted by various conditions. In recent years, there have been signs of decreasing year by year. At this time, some old experts suggested that recycling wool fibers from woolen garments to reproduce them would ease the shortage of raw materials for wool production.

It is understood that Italy has a complete set of waste wool clothing fiber recycling system, the system includes all kinds of machinery and technology R & D has been very mature. "If we introduce this production line, we can do it right away." Li Chun said.

Li Chun, a veteran expert with the same view, and Zheng Chonglie, a more than 80 year old senior textile engineer. He strongly recommended that during the national "12th Five-Year" period, the recycling of waste wool should be done well.

According to experts, there are not only Woollen Spinning, but also hemp and cotton. The ratio between the recovery cost of hemp and cotton and the production cost of new fiber is not so appropriate, so no one has mentioned the recovery of these fibers as a topic.

Since there are many fibers that can be recycled after the clothes are worn out, the idea that the shelf life of clothes is based on fiber will not work. So what should be the shelf-life of the label?

Functional clothing: the warranty period should be marked.

The author came to the pregnant woman's special store in Beijing's halls store, asking the pregnant women who had radiation protection had no shelf life. The salesperson told reporters that the radiation protection clothing they sold in the mall was the nearest distance from the factory outlet. Their clothes are generally not discounted, up to ten percent off, or when there are activities.

I wrote down the same type of classic radiant costume, and found some good sellers on Taobao. Their classic money usually hits 50 percent off, but there is no new model. In the communication with sellers, I was told that their products were priced at factory prices and no site fees, so prices could be cheaper. The goods they claimed to have received were genuine and genuine goods, and they emphasized that there were anti fake signs on the clothes, so the telephone call could confirm the authenticity. When asked about the expiration date, they said that their imitation radiant clothing had no problem in radiating performance. Many buyers made experiments with mobile phones and were successful.

Will functional clothing fade away as time goes by? We know the answer from the exchange of salesmen in the hall. "This garment is especially afraid of creases and water washing. The silver ions on the top will be reduced because of creases and water washing. She pointed to one of the best selling silver nano radiation protective clothing to tell the author.

Metal and air contact for a long time, oxidation is inevitable. This also explains the phenomenon that the protective effect of radiant clothing has been weakened after a period of use.

Functional clothing has a shelf life problem, not just maternity dress.

"Our clothes must be issued in half a year. These work clothes were almost broken in the past six months. A metallurgical worker working in Steel Corp told the author. They are wearing a specially made work clothes with high temperature resistance. Although the work clothes did not indicate the shelf-life, the specific service life was only half a year. The system of semi annual production in factories has been adhered to from now on.

In my opinion, the shelf-life of general clothing may be negotiable, but the shelf life of functional clothing is really a big problem. Because the expiration of functional clothing can often endanger human life.
