Read the answers below, or leave a question for the fabric community. Blend results describe general tendencies, not laboratory tests of the actual garment.
The essentials, from getting started to understanding estimate confidence.
Enter clothing materials and fiber percentages to explore eight estimated properties: softness, smoothness, breathability, warmth, wrinkle tendency, drying speed, static tendency, and stretch, along with care guidance. You can also read individual material reports and save blends as A, B, and C to compare them.
Confidence describes the information available for an estimate, not garment quality or a probability of correctness. Fiber-name and blend estimates are currently Moderate; reports based only on fabric names such as denim or satin are Low because the fiber content is unspecified. Garment and woven/knit choices tailor buying checks and some estimates. Future use of High would require detailed product specifications (yarn, construction, thickness, density, and finishing), repeated measurements and evaluations of the relevant property under consistent conditions, and validation on separate products not used to develop the analysis rules. It would apply only to the properties and fabric types validated, not automatically to every indicator or because more fields were filled in. High warmth, for example, describes property strength, not confidence.
Yarn thickness and twist, woven or knitted construction, fabric density and thickness, brushing or coatings, dyeing, and lining can all change the feel. Even 100% cotton can become a thin, smooth fabric or a thick, cozy knit. Use MANJEOBOM as a guide to general material tendencies, not an exact prediction of a finished garment.
Use the fiber names and percentages on the product page or care label, such as 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Enter up to five fibers with a total of 100%. Keep outer fabric, lining, and contrasting panels separate rather than mixing their percentages. If only a fabric name such as denim or satin is given, consult Materials / reports first; blend analysis needs the actual fiber composition and percentages.
Use the estimate as a shopping checklist for likely feel and possible inconveniences such as wrinkles, static, or pilling. Check the product details and close-up photos too, and inspect or try the actual garment when possible. For washing, always follow the garment's care label first. The estimate cannot account for every finish, dye, or lining and should not replace product-specific washing instructions.
