Carbon brushing uses brushes with fine carbon filaments or abrasive fibres, instead of sandpaper rollers, to lift and cut the surface fibres very short. It gives a finer, more uniform and drier hand than classic peaching and is used on polyester for sportswear, premium jersey and suede-like articles. It is a more delicate and more expensive process. In practice, carbon brushing keeps the drape better and gives a cleaner look without abrasion marks. Ask for a swatch before ordering.
