Abstract

A fabric having an excellent color developing property and having recesses of a depth of 0.05 to 1 μm and a width of 0.05 to 1 μm formed at least on the surface of the fibers existing in the surface portion of the fabric, the number of recesses being 1 to 10 per μm on the periphery of the fibers existing in the surface portion of the fabric in a portion of the fiber cross-section at which the recesses are formed at least the recesses formed on the surface of the fibers existing in the surface portion of the fabric being coated with a coating material of an organic polymer having a refractive index at least 0.03 lower than the refractive index of the fibers. The fabric has a high depth of color and an excellent abrasion resistance.
