• Crew neck with interior taped seam, for enhanced comfort and durability
• Rear mesh design, for effective breathability
• Flatlock seam design, for superb skin feel
Question:
What kind of seam does "貼縫" refer to? I think it might be "taping" or "taped seam". Does anyone have any suggestions?

Comment: "Hi Mr Chan. Thanks for your suggestions and links to similar products that use the term "taped". I still think the term is a little ambiguous and could refer to a couple of different kinds of seams, so we'll just have to keep on judging by context."

Welt seam
Taped seams are usually used for waterproofing seams using a plastic strip, which is why I'm inclined to use welt seam.

Flat felled seam may also work
"Welt seams and Flat Felled seams are often used in apparel and accessories to give the piece a nice finishing touch. Welt seams are a quick and easy finish, usually used in lined garments or bags. Flat Felled seams are more durable, and are used in more heavy duty projects."

Note from asker:
| Hi Garath. Thanks for your suggestions. It is very helpful to see "贴带缝" and "贴边缝" written out together. It's just not clear clear which is meant in the source text I'm working on, so I've made a note to the client and am judging it by context. |
