Texture Gallery: Fabric
These photos have been created by Smashing Magazine readeres in our Smashing Texture Contest. What can you do with them? You can use all textures for both private and commercial projects for free, without any restrictions whatsoever. However, you are not allowed to offer these files for download; please respect the interestes of over 300 participants of our contest. Please also consider the license information attached to the .zip-archives you download from our server. When it comes to usage of textures, different photographers may have different opinions and intentions.
Some .zip-archives also contain further images of the same photographer. The file size of .zip-archives is between 1 and 15 Mb (depending on image resolution) which makes over 700 Mb space storage. This is also a reason why we have decided to not offer all textures in one single archive.

As you can see, it derives from a 70ies hippie shirt I found in the garbage more than 30 years ago. Made from 100% polyester, so all the colors are as pretty as on the first day. I always wanted to paint a wall of my living room with this texture, and therefore kept the shirt in a drawer all the time.

These textures come from hi-res scans of novelty synthetic fabrics. The various fiber contents as well as their structures interfered with the scan producing amazing moires, reflections, wrinkles, folds and static.

This photo was taken at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival. It is a photo of un-spun wool (roving) that has been dyed many colors. While it may appear to be rough the wool in this photo is very soft to the touch.

All my textures are from batik fabric. They are kind of traditional fabric from Java ethnic. The fabric used to wear in special occasions. But nowadays, Batik is very popular among people around the world.

This is a closeup of a Barong Tagalog, the formal national costume of the Philippines. The barong is a thin, transparent overlayer made from a sheer mesh of pineapple-based fibers, embroidered with elegant designs, usually leafy plants and ethnic patterns. I wore this particular barong for my wedding, one year ago this June.

Hey ViniMan , I think it is a matter of overload. With so many photos submitted it could not have been a very orderly process! As far as the selection criteria goes.

Heh? I took 5 fabric textures, and I can’t imagine that the quality of them wasn’t good enough to stand next to these.
Weird. :/
