Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to paper clothing, particularly paper clothing such as rainwear, shoes, hats, or gloves. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, clothing such as rainwear used for outdoor activities has been provided that is made of resin fibers that can prevent moisture such as rain from entering from the outside while simultaneously venting moisture from the inside. Such clothing can not only suppress the drop in the wearer's body temperature due to the intrusion of rain, but also suppress the decline in the wearer's physical strength due to high humidity by venting moisture. Furthermore, because it can suppress the discomfort of the wearer caused by moisture and humidity, the wearer can enjoy outdoor leisure activities comfortably.

[0003] In recent years, from the perspective of environmental issues such as SDGs and carbon neutrality, there has been a growing demand for clothing made from paper fibers rather than resin fibers.

[0004] Utility Model Registration No. 3059654 (Patent Document 1) discloses a raincoat in which synthetic paper is used as the material for the fabric portion. This raincoat uses synthetic paper, which is mainly made of plastic and processed to have paper-like properties, for the fabric portion. With this raincoat, it is possible to process the synthetic paper in a variety of ways due to its paper-like properties, and it is also possible to prevent the generation of harmful substances when the fabric portion is incinerated.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3059654 Gazette [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-51620 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] However, the clothing made of the above resin fibers cannot solve the above environmental problems, and since it is formed of resin fibers, it has a problem that it is difficult to form creases compared to paper clothing, that is, it cannot be easily folded and stored.

[0007] Also, although the raincoat of Patent Document 1 uses synthetic paper as the material of the cloth part, it has not been studied about preventing moisture such as rain from entering from the outside and removing moisture from the inside.

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a paper clothing that can not only prevent moisture such as rain from entering from the outside, but also remove moisture from the inside, that is, can improve moisture permeability, and can easily form creases.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure is configured as follows. That is, the paper clothing according to the present disclosure is a paper clothing having a clothing body, and the clothing body includes a water-resistant moisture-permeable layer. The water-resistant moisture-permeable layer is formed by applying persimmon tannin and curable oil to paper. The paper has a basis weight of less than 50 g / m 2 and has a basis weight of less than 50 g / m².

Effects of the Invention

[0010] According to the paper clothing of the present disclosure, it is possible not only to prevent moisture such as rain from entering from the outside, but also to improve moisture permeability, and it is possible to easily form creases.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view showing the paper clothing of the embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the clothing body of the paper clothing shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic view showing wrinkles of the water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a schematic view showing a fold of the clothing body.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] (Configuration 1) The paper-made clothing item according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is a paper-made clothing item having a clothing body, and the clothing body includes a water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer. The water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer is formed by applying persimmon tannin and curable oil to paper. The paper has a basis weight of less than 50 g / m 2 ².

[0013] Since the water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer of the clothing body is made of paper, folds can be easily formed. Further, by applying persimmon tannin and curable oil to paper to form the water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer and setting the basis weight of the paper to less than 50 g / m 2 ², it is possible not only to prevent moisture such as rain from entering from the outside, but also to improve the moisture permeability.

[0014] (Configuration 2) In the paper-made clothing item of Configuration 1, the paper may be formed of fibers having a length-weighted average fiber length of 2 mm or more. The paper formed of fibers having a length-weighted average fiber length of 2 mm or more is, for example, Japanese paper. Thereby, the durability of the paper-made clothing item can be improved.

[0015] (Configuration 3) In the paper-made clothing item of Configuration 1 or 2, the water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer may have irregular uneven wrinkles. Thereby, the moisture permeability can be further improved. Further, the toughness of the paper-made clothing item can be improved.

[0016] (Configuration 4) In the paper-made clothing item of any one of Configurations 1 to 3, the paper may have a density of 0.8 g / cm 3 ³ or less. Thereby, the moisture permeability can be further improved.

[0017] (Configuration 5) In any one of claims 1 to 4, the garment body may have a protective layer laminated on at least one of the main surfaces of one or the other of the water-resistant and breathable layer. This protects the water-resistant and breathable layer.

[0018] (Composition 6) In the paper garment of configuration 5, the protective layer may be made of paper. This makes it easier to form folds.

[0019] (Composition 7) In the paper clothing of composition 5, the protective layer may be formed from natural fibers. This ensures biodegradability and, as a result, contributes to solving the aforementioned environmental problems.

[0020] (Composition 8) In the paper garment of composition 5, the protective layer may consist of at least one of cotton, silk, linen, and synthetic fibers. The basis weight of the protective layer may be no more than twice the basis weight of the water-resistant and breathable layer. This makes it easier to form folds.

[0021] (Composition 9) In any one of the paper garments according to configurations 1 to 8, the garment itself may have folds. This allows the paper garment to be easily folded and stored.

[0022] (Composition 10) In the paper garment of configuration 9, the fold may be a Miura fold (registered trademark). This allows the paper garment to be folded and stored smoothly.

[0023] (Composition 11) In any one of the paper garments from configurations 1 to 10, the paper garment may be any one of the following: rainwear, shoes, a hat, or gloves.

[0024] The paper garment 1 of the embodiment described herein will be specifically explained below with reference to Figures 1 to 4. In the figures, the same and corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the same explanation will not be repeated. In order to make the explanation easier to understand, the components in the drawings referred to below are shown in a simplified or schematic manner, and some components are omitted.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1, the paper garment 1 has a garment body 2. Although Figure 1 illustrates rainwear, in this disclosure, the paper garment 1 includes not only so-called clothing items such as rainwear (including raincoats or ponchos, etc.), jackets, trousers, underwear, hats, gloves, or socks, but also footwear such as shoes. In other words, the paper garment 1 is not particularly limited as long as it is a product that the wearer puts on, such as by wearing or putting on.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the garment body 2 includes a water-resistant and breathable layer 3 and a protective layer 4 laminated on one and the other main surface of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3. The protective layer 4 may be laminated on either one or the other main surface of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3.

[0027] The water-resistant, breathable layer 3 is made of paper. This makes it easier to form folds, as described later, compared to clothing made of resin fibers.

[0028] The water-resistant and moisture-permeable layer 3 is formed by applying persimmon tannin and a curable oil (hereinafter, persimmon tannin and the curable oil may be collectively referred to as paint) to a sheet-like paper. The method of applying the paint to the paper may be any known method and is not particularly limited. For example, methods of applying the paint to the paper using a brush or the like, dip coating in which the paper is immersed in the paint for application, methods of spraying the paint onto the paper using a spray or the like, roll coating, die coating, blade coating, etc., and in addition, the use of various printing techniques such as flexographic printing, inkjet printing, silk screen printing, offset printing or gravure printing can be mentioned. The paint may be diluted with water or the like to facilitate application to the paper. Also, the paper may be impregnated with the paint throughout the entire paper, or only a part of the paper, for example, near the surface layer of the paper, may be impregnated with the paint.

[0029] The paper has a basis weight of less than 50 g / m 2 . Thereby, it is possible to easily eliminate moisture from the inside when worn, that is, the moisture permeability can be improved. From the viewpoint of improving the moisture permeability, the basis weight of the paper is preferably less than 40 g / m 2 , more preferably less than 30 g / m 2 . Also, the lower limit of the basis weight of the paper can be 20 g / m 2 from the viewpoint of the strength of the paper or ease of manufacture, and preferably can be 25 g / m 2 or more.

[0030] Also, the density of the paper is preferably 0.8 g / cm 3 or less. Thereby, the moisture permeability can be improved, and it is possible to easily eliminate moisture from the inside when worn. The lower limit of the density of the paper can be 0.3 g / cm 3 or more from the viewpoint of suppressing defects in the paper. After measuring the thickness of the paper with a micrometer (manufactured by Niigata Seiki Co., Ltd., "Digital S Line Micrometer MCD-251P65MW 00152235"), the density of the paper can be obtained from the formula "paper density = paper grammage / paper thickness".

[0031] The paper can be any ordinary sheet paper, but washi (Japanese paper) is preferred from the standpoint of durability and other factors. Washi has longer fibers than Western paper, giving it superior durability and water resistance. Examples of washi materials include paper mulberry (Broussonetia kazinoki × B. papyrifera), gampi (Diplomorpha sikokiana), mitsumata (Edgeworthia chrysantha), rush (Juncus effusus L. var. decipens Buchen.), hemp (Cannabis sativa), ramie (Boehmeria nivea var. nipononivea), flax (Linum usitatissimum), Manila hemp (Musa textilis), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and Western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don). However, the materials for washi are not limited to the materials listed above.

[0032] Furthermore, since washi paper has longer fibers than Western paper, it can be defined by the fiber length of the fibers contained in washi paper. That is, in this disclosure, washi paper can be defined as paper having a length-weighted average fiber length of 2 mm or more. The length-weighted average fiber length may be measured by the method described in the Journal of the Japan Paper and Pulp Technology Association, Vol. 43, No. 5 (Japan Paper and Pulp Technology Association, published May 1, 1989). More specifically, the length-weighted average fiber length contained in washi paper can be measured by the following method. That is, the fiber length of washi paper sieved using the fiber classifier "TAPPI T233" is measured fraction by fraction using the fiber length analyzer "KAJAANI FS-100", and the length-weighted average of the fiber lengths is calculated from the values ​​obtained for each fraction. Then, the length-weighted average fiber length LL is calculated by the following formula. LL = Σni·Li 2 / Σni·Li In the above formula, ni represents the number of fibers in fraction i, and Li represents the average length of the fibers in fraction i.

[0033] Persimmon tannin is an extract obtained by crushing and pressing unripe persimmon fruits, followed by fermentation and maturation. Persimmon tannin contains a large amount of tannin (kaki tannin). Persimmon tannin may be replaced with other tannins. Examples include cinnamon, tannic acid, mimosa tannin, wattle tannin, quebracho tannin, chestnut tannin, miraborum tannin, myrobalan tannin, baronia tannin, sumac tannin, gambian tannin, oak tannin, tara tannin, zibichibi tannin, borneo katch tannin, spruce tannin, and hemlock tannin. The tannins may include kaki tannin, or two or more selected from this group of various tannins.

[0034] Hydrogenated fats and oils may include, for example, vegetable oils or animal oils. Hydrogenated fats and oils may contain vegetable oils, animal oils, or a mixture of vegetable oils and animal oils. Hydrogenated fats and oils may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of various vegetable oils and oils or animal oils listed below. However, hydrogenated fats and oils are not limited to the various fats and oils listed below.

[0035] Among vegetable oils, drying oils include, for example, yuzu oil, pistachio oil, orange seed oil, argan oil, rice oil, rice bran oil, prune seed oil, rum kernel oil, safflower oil (high oleic type), safflower oil, sea buckthorn oil, peach kernel oil, apricot oil, apricot kernel oil, tamanu oil, lemon oil, cottonseed oil, cotton seed oil, sesame oil, pecan nut oil, tomato seed oil, Brazil nut oil, milk thistle oil, corn oil, maize oil, cucumber seed oil, cucumber oil, watermelon oil, watermelon seed oil, soybean oil, soybean oil, poppy seed oil, black cumin seed oil, apple oil, apple seed oil, grapeseed oil, grape oil, sunflower oil (high linoleic type), sunflower oil, cactus oil, prickly pear oil, and wheat germ oil. These include bud oil, wheat jam oil, pumpkin seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, guava seed oil, safflower oil (high linoleic type), rapeseed oil, rapeseed oil, borage oil, walnut oil, walnut oil, sisymbryol oil, pine nut oil, pine seed oil, camelina oil, cranberry seed oil, lime seed oil, bitter melon oil, hemp seed oil, sea buckthorn oil (seed), kukui nut oil, evening primrose oil, evening primrose oil, strawberry seed oil, strawberry oil, blackcurrant oil, blackcurrant oil, rosehip oil, raspberry seed oil, linseed oil, flaxseed oil, perilla oil, shiso oil, perilla oil, inca inchi oil, kiwi seed oil, calendula seed oil, chia seed oil, tung oil, pomegranate oil, or pomegranate seed oil. Perilla oil contains palmitic acid, which has 16 carbon atoms; oleic acid and linoleic acid, which have 18 carbon atoms; and arachidic acid, which has 20 carbon atoms.

[0036] Non-drying vegetable oils include, for example, canola oil, ukuba butter, nutmeg butter, nutmeg oil, coconut oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, babassu oil, murumuru butter, cocoa butter, cocoa butter, kokum butter, mango butter, cupuacu butter, shea butter, palm oil, moringa oil, andiroba oil, neem oil, sea buckthorn oil (fruit), marula oil, jojoba oil, macadamia nut oil, grapefruit seed oil, sunflower oil (high oleic type), sunflower oil, papaya seed oil, camellia oil, cashew nut oil, castor oil, olive oil, baobab oil, hazelnut oil, avocado oil, camellia oil, meadowfoam oil, sweet almond oil, cherry kernel oil, mustard oil, Job's tears oil, Coix seed oil, peanut oil, or groundnut oil.

[0037] Animal fats include, for example, beef tallow, pork tallow, fish oil (e.g., sardine oil), mutton fat, and milk fat.

[0038] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ease of handling, it is preferable to use at least one of the following as the curing oil: soybean oil, perilla oil, linseed oil, tung oil, mustard oil, shiso oil, walnut oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3, the water-resistant and breathable layer 3 may have irregular, uneven wrinkles 5. These irregular, uneven wrinkles 5 have a difference in height in the thickness direction and can be formed, for example, by kneading the water-resistant and breathable layer 3 by hand. In other words, the irregular, uneven wrinkles 5 may be hand-kneaded wrinkles (irregular kneading wrinkles). By providing these irregular, uneven wrinkles 5, the breathability of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3 can be improved, and its toughness can also be improved. The shape of the wrinkles is not limited to an uneven shape; it may also be wave-shaped or textured, and can be appropriately changed depending on the type of paper garment 1. The height of the unevenness in the thickness direction of the paper may also be appropriately changed.

[0040] To improve the breathability of the water-resistant breathable layer 3, it is preferable that the holes between the paper fibers are not completely blocked by the paint. In other words, it is preferable that, when the paint is applied to the paper, gaps are formed between the paper fibers that allow moisture to pass through appropriately. This makes it easier to remove moisture generated during wear. More specifically, to improve the breathability of the water-resistant breathable layer 3, the non-volatile components (solids) of the persimmon tannin and hardened oil (i.e., paint) in the water-resistant breathable layer 3 should be 1 m 2 Weight per unit (Mc), and 1 m of paper 2 It is preferable to apply the paint so that the ratio of the weight per unit area (Mp) is Mc / Mp = 20 / 100 or less.

[0041] On the other hand, in order to ensure the water repellency of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, it is preferable to apply a sufficient amount of paint to the paper. More specifically, the non-volatile components (solid content) of the persimmon tannin and hardened oil (i.e., paint) of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3 are 1 m 2 Weight per unit (Mc), and 1 m of paper 2 It is preferable to apply the paint so that the ratio of the weight per unit area to Mp is Mc / Mp = 3 / 100 or more.

[0042] Thus, the nonvolatile components (solids) of persimmon tannin and hardened oils in the water-resistant, breathable layer 3 are 1 m 2 Weight per unit (Mc), and 1 m of paper 2 From the viewpoint of improving breathability and ensuring water repellency, it is preferable to fabricate the water-resistant, breathable layer 3 such that the ratio of the weight per unit area Mp is Mc / Mp = 3 / 100 to 20 / 100.

[0043] Furthermore, the paint may, as necessary, contain, to the extent that it does not impair the effects of this disclosure, for example, water, organic solvents, ammonium inorganic acid salts, metal salts, additives (surfactants, water repellents, defoamers, flame retardants, preservatives, fungicides, plasticizers, colorants, thickeners or fillers, etc.). These components may be used individually or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of improving affinity with the paint, the organic solvent is preferably of SP value 10 or higher. By using an organic solvent with an SP value of 10 or higher, the viscosity of the paint can be reduced, making it easier to apply the paint to paper.

[0044] The protective layer 4 is in sheet form and is laminated onto the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, protecting the water-resistant and breathable layer 3. For example, the protective layer 4 may be fixed to the water-resistant and breathable layer 3 by sewing it to the water-resistant and breathable layer 3. The surface of the protective layer 4, which is located on the outside when worn, may be treated with a water-repellent coating to ensure gas permeability. Also, if wrinkles are formed in the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, the same wrinkles will usually be formed in the protective layer 4.

[0045] The protective layer 4 is preferably made of paper. By making the protective layer 4, as well as the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, out of paper, it becomes easier to form folds together with the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, as described later. Furthermore, the protective layer is preferably a woven fabric in which slit paper yarn is woven. This allows for the acquisition of strength in the paper garment 1, particularly strength against stretching. Alternatively, the protective layer 4 may be a knit or nonwoven fabric formed from slit paper yarn.

[0046] The protective layer 4 is not limited to paper, but may be a woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabric made of natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, cashmere, or linen, or synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers are, for example, fibers made of resins such as nylon, polyester, rayon, acrylic, or polyurethane. The protective layer 4 is preferably a woven fabric made of cotton, silk, linen, or synthetic fibers. This makes it possible to obtain strength for the paper garment 1, especially strength against stretching.

[0047] When the protective layer 4 is made of cotton, silk, linen, or synthetic fibers, it is preferable that the protective layer 4 has a basis weight of no more than twice the basis weight of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3. The basis weight of the protective layer 4 is the basis weight of one of the protective layers 4 if the protective layer 4 is laminated on either one or the other main surface of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, and the sum of the basis weights of both protective layers 4 if the protective layer 4 is laminated on both the one and the other main surface of the water-resistant and breathable layer 3. This makes it easier to form folds together with the water-resistant and breathable layer 3, as described later.

[0048] Here, the garment body 2 can form a fold 6, as shown in Figure 4. The fold 6 is, for example, a Miura fold. This allows the paper garment 1 to be folded smoothly and compactly. As a result, it becomes easier to store and remove the paper garment 1, such as rainwear, from its storage bag. The shape of the fold 6 is not particularly limited as long as it facilitates the storage and removal of the paper garment 1.

[0049] Furthermore, the paper clothing product 1 disclosed herein can contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 7, "Affordable and Clean Energy," and Goal 12, "Responsible Consumption and Production."

[0050] Although embodiments have been described above, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. [Examples]

[0051] In Table 1 below, test specimens measuring 210 mm in width and 297 mm in length were prepared under the conditions of Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Example 1. In Comparative Example 2, a test specimen was prepared by cutting a commercially available garment made of resin fiber, "Everbreath®," to a size of 210 mm in width and 297 mm in length. Tests were then conducted to evaluate the moisture permeability and ease of creasing for each. In Table 1, "wrinkles" refers to the presence or absence of irregular, uneven wrinkles in the water-resistant, moisture-permeable layer. "Surface" and "back" refer to the presence or absence of a protective layer on one main surface (surface) or the other main surface (back) of the water-resistant, moisture-permeable layer, and if a protective layer is present, the material of the protective layer is indicated. Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited by the following description of the examples.

[0052] [Table 1]

[0053] (Evaluation of moisture permeability) The moisture permeability, or ease of moisture removal, was measured in accordance with "JIS L1099 A1". Comparative Example 2, a commercially available product, measured a moisture permeability of 10,000 g / m². 2 Based on a 24-hour period, at least, for example, 7000 g / m² 2 We evaluated a breathability level exceeding approximately 24 hours as sufficient to prevent the wearer from feeling uncomfortable.

[0054] (Evaluation of folds) Regarding the folds, each garment in the embodiment and comparative example was evaluated as follows: if a Miura fold was formed in the garment, and it could be unfolded and folded in one step by spreading it diagonally and then contracting it diagonally, it was evaluated as "A"; if it could be unfolded in one step but could not be folded in one step, it was evaluated as "B"; if a fold could be formed but it could not be unfolded in one step, it was evaluated as "C"; and if a fold could not be formed, it was evaluated as "D".

[0055] (water repellency) Although not specifically indicated in Table 1, each test specimen in Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-2 exhibited water repellency of R9 or higher. Water repellency was measured according to the old JIS standard (JIS P8137). Thus, sufficient water repellency was ensured in all test specimens.

[0056] (Comparison of Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-2) The waterproof and breathable layer is made of paper, with a paper weight of 50g / m². 2 The test specimens of Examples 1 to 16, which were less than 50 g / m², were able to achieve the same level of moisture permeability as the test specimen of Comparative Example 2, which was made of resin fiber. However, because the test specimen of Comparative Example 2 was made of resin fiber, the evaluation of the fold was "D". The test specimen of Comparative Example 1 had a paper basis weight of 50 g / m² for the water-resistant moisture-permeable layer. 2 As a result, moisture permeability decreased. Therefore, it is presumed that a wearer wearing clothing made from the test piece of Comparative Example 1 would experience discomfort due to moisture while wearing it.

[0057] (Comparison of Examples 1-5) There is no protective layer, and the paper density of the water-resistant, breathable layer is the same at 0.7 g / cm³.3 Comparing Examples 1-5, the paper weight is 40 g / m². 2 Examples 1-4, which are less than the moisture permeability of Comparative Example 2 made of resin fiber, have a moisture permeability of 10,000 g / m². 2 • It has been more than 24 hours, and furthermore, the paper weight is 30 g / m². 2 Examples 1 and 2, which were below 13,000 g / m², showed a significant improvement in moisture permeability, reaching 13,000 g / m². 2 It exceeded 24 hours. Therefore, the basis weight of the water-resistant, breathable layer paper is 50 g / m². 2 It is preferable to keep it below 40 g / m². 2 It is preferable to keep it below 30 g / m², and more preferably 30 g / m². 2 It was found that using "less than" is the best approach.

[0058] (Comparison of Examples 5-6) Comparing Examples 5 and 6, which differ only in the presence or absence of wrinkles in the water-resistant, breathable layer, Example 6, which had wrinkles, showed improved moisture permeability compared to Example 5, which did not have wrinkles. In other words, it was found that forming irregular, uneven wrinkles in the water-resistant, breathable layer improves moisture permeability.

[0059] (Comparison of Examples 4, 7, and 8) Comparing Examples 4, 7, and 8, which differ only in the density of the water-resistant, moisture-permeable layer paper, the paper density is 0.9 g / cm³. 3 In Example 7, the moisture permeability decreased compared to Examples 4 and 8. Therefore, the density of the water-resistant moisture-permeable layer paper was 0.8 g / cm³. 3 It was found that the moisture permeability could be improved by the following. Furthermore, comparing Examples 4 and 8, Example 8, which had a lower density than Example 4, showed improved moisture permeability. Therefore, it was found that the moisture permeability of the water-resistant moisture-permeable layer can be improved by further reducing the density of the paper.

[0060] (Comparison of Examples 9-16) Comparing Examples 9-16, in which a protective layer was laminated onto a water-resistant, breathable layer, it was found that in both Examples 9-11, where the protective layer was made of nylon, and Examples 13-16, where the protective layer was made of paper yarn (slit paper yarn), a good evaluation of the fold was obtained when the total basis weight of the protective layer was twice or less the basis weight of the water-resistant, breathable layer. This is also thought to be true for Example 12, where the protective layer was made of hemp. In particular, Examples 13-16, where the protective layer was made of paper yarn, showed an even better evaluation of the fold compared to Examples 9-12. Therefore, it was found that the basis weight of the protective layer should be twice or less the basis weight of the water-resistant, breathable layer, or that the protective layer should be made of paper yarn.
