Denim fabrics with LYCRA dualFX technology contain about 30% stretch but have a high degree of dimensional stability so that jeans retain their shape and fit over time. These super-stretch jeans provide the ultimate in comfort and free-movement and yet they have the look and feel of natural denim.
LYCRA lastingFIT technology for denim jeans and for jobwear provides durable stretch and recovery, shape retention, and very low shrinkage.
A key component of the technology is LYCRA® T400® fiber. Because this fiber is made from two different polymers it forms a permanent coil that consistently recovers. The long-lasting performance of these fabrics is one of the attributes that sets them apart from other stretch alternatives, providing you with a whole new level of comfort and consistent fit. Jeans with LYCRA® lastingFIT technology hold their shape and keep consumers looking great, all day, every day.
LYCRA lastingFIT technology for denim jeans and for jobwear provides durable stretch and recovery, shape retention, and very low shrinkage.
LYCRA® T400® technology delivers excellent performance and aesthetics in applications that require low to moderate stretch. It is based on LYCRA® T400® fiber, a multi-component yarn in which different polymers are joined together within each filament. When exposed to heat, each polymer shrinks to a different degree, producing a smooth helical crimp. Because the crimp is not mechanically induced, LYCRA® T400® fiber gives greater, more durable stretch and recovery, and a softer, smoother hand than textured yarns that are used for stretch.
LYCRA® T400® technology can be applied to just about any fabric that currently uses textured yarns. Applications include denims, jobwear, shirtings and other lightweight wovens, circular knits, and socks.
LYCRA® XFIT technology uses patented technologies for producing denim with stretch in the fabric length which, when combined with the traditional weft-stretch process, provides a fantastic 360-degree, “3D” fit. LYCRA® T400® fiber is woven into the fabric warp in a way that hides and protects it within the fabric, giving the fabric a flat, authentic denim look and feel.
Fabrics with LYCRA® XFIT technology can withstand all finishing processes on a continuous range, and also can undergo such standard garment processes as sanding, enzyme treatment, stone washing and bleach.
Denim fabrics with LYCRA® TOUGH MAX™ technology have more than twice the strength of typical all-cotton denim but provide the comfort and freedom of movement for which the LYCRA® brand is known worldwide. Now denim can be offered with toughness and comfort stretch for such applications as jobwear or skateboarding jeans.
Promodal is a blend of Modal and Tencel, made from birch and Eucalyptus trees. The properties of both yarns are combined to get the best of both in one fabric. Modal makes the fabric exceptionally soft, while Tencel provides good moisture transportation.
TENCEL is a brand name for a fiber which is also called lyocell, manufactured by the Lenzing AG company. Technically, a fabric must contain at least 30% of these proprietary fibers in order to use the name Tencel, but the term has become more commonly used than lyocell for similar products from all sources. Whatever it's called, Tencel or lyocell is a sustainable fabric, regenerated from wood cellulose. It is similar in hand to rayon and bamboo, both regenerated fabrics. However, Tencel is one of the most environmentally friendly regenerated fabrics, for several reasons. Tencel fibers are grown sustainably.
Allways is one of the new innovations of the Mexican company Global Denim® for the AW 18/19 season. It is a Bi-Stretch or 4 way stretch technology.
There are many types of stretch in the market. Most of which are weft only stretch, or in some new and innovative cases warp only stretch. For Global Denim® these kinds of stretch are not always satisfactory in terms of body shaping, fit and comfort, so they came up with a new and revolutionary 4 way stretch fabric.
Global Denim® 4 way stretch fabric offers stretch in both the warp and weft, creating better elasticity, better arrangement in construction, more comfort and better movement on the body and superior performance.
It also has length recovery action, meaning it won´t sag or lose its shape. It has a straighter and tighter look, and the best part of all is that it has better shaping of the body. it has incredible holding power and it makes you look and feel slimmer.
This new fabric gives designers the opportunity to experiment and create different styles and new designs with more motion freedom.
Bi-Stretch Fabric is an excellent quality material ideal for dressmaking projects such as trousers, jackets and suits. This is the perfect choice for smart clothing and office wear as it does not easily crease. Despite the name, Bi-Stretch is not a typical “stretch” Fabric but does feature a slight bi-lateral stretch across the bias, resulting in a fabric which is comfortable to wear and provides full ease of movement. Bi-Stretch Fabric is popular for its beautiful body and drape, and is ideal when you need to look particularly presentable and stylish.
