What Is Habotai Silk?

Silk habotai is a lightweight plain-weave silk with a clean, flat surface and gentle luster. Its regular over-under interlacing makes it simpler and less glossy than charmeuse, while the selected momme determines whether it feels sheer and delicate or more opaque and substantial.

Fiber: Mulberry Silk

JacketTex's Silk Habotai uses 100% 6A-grade Mulberry Silk. Habotai identifies the plain-weave structure, while the fiber composition is confirmed separately.

Weave: Plain Weave

Its regular plain weave creates a clean, even surface with gentle sheen on both sides, unlike Charmeuse's glossy face and duller reverse.

Weight: Momme & Opacity

Lower-momme Habotai is lighter and more translucent; higher momme adds coverage and body. Color and finishing also affect opacity, so confirm by sample.
