Wikipedia

  1. Sateen

    Sateen is a fabric made using a satin weave structure, but made with spun yarns instead of filament.The sheen and softer feel of sateen is produced through the satin weave structure. Warp yarns are floated over weft yarns, for example four over and one under (for a five-harness satin weave). In a weft-faced satin or sateen, the weft yarns are floated over the warp yarns. Standard plain weaves use a one-over, one-under structure. In modern times cheaper rayon is often substituted for cotton. Better qualities are mercerized to give a higher sheen. Some are only calendered to produce the sheen, but this disappears with washing.

  1. sateen

    Sateen is a type of fabric made from woven cotton, rayon, or other threads that create a smooth, glossy finish similar to satin. This fabric is known for its lustrous sheen, softness, and durability. Unlike satin, sateen is usually made with a different type of weave that makes it more practical for everyday use.

  1. Sateen

    Sateen, not to be confused with satin, is a type of fabric often found in bed sheets. Sateen is a term usually applied to cotton, or sometimes rayon. Better qualities are mercerized to give a higher sheen. Some are only calendered to produce the sheen but this disappears with washing and is not considered genuine sateen. Sateen may be bleached, dyed, or printed. It is difficult to make good bound buttonholes on it as it has a tendency to slip at the seams. Sateen produces the sheen and softer feel through the use of a different structure in the weaving process. The sateen structure is four over, one under, placing the most threads on the surface, making it extremely soft, though slightly less durable than other weaves. Standard non-sateen weaves use a one-over, one-under structure. Satin also uses this structure; however, materials such as silk, polyester, etc., are used instead of cotton. Sateen was also used for Vintage dress shirts and other Vintage type clothes.

Chambers 20th Century Dictionary

  1. Sateen

    sa-tēn′, n. a glossy worsted, cotton, or even woollen fabric.—Also Satteen′.
