One of the most versatile fabric technologies we employ, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® is ideal for dynamic environments, providing complete protection from wind with practical water-repellency. This season we expand our repertoire, offering three different compositions of INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® technology.

When we began development on our ‘Prime’ range of year-round, staple sweaters and t-shirts, our first goal was finding a fabric that was ultra-soft yet structural and luxurious yet durable enough for daily wear. After sampling various cottons and blends from around the world one stood out above the rest; a rare breed of cotton from India known as Suvin.

An iconic fabric that has withstood the test of time thanks to its comfort, durability and timeless appearance, corduroy has a rich history and has been favoured by all strata of society from factory workers and soldiers to artists, musicians and nobility. What makes corduroy unique is its ribbed, pile weave which creates a three-dimensional surface, imbuing the fabric with an ultra-soft handfeel and subtle luxurious sheen akin to velvet.

This season we also introduce a lightweight Tropical Wool blend from advanced Japanese fabric specialist Solotex®. This ingenious fabric combines a specially engineered spring-shaped polyester fibre with a luxurious long-staple worsted wool. Merging the best of old and new technologies, this imbues the fabric with several advantages over typical non-composite fabrics, while retaining the timeless appearance of a premium wool suiting fabric.

For Spring/Summer we focus on three COOLMAX® enabled fabrics that each offer unique benefits for daily wear. One of the lightest fabrics in this season collection, COOLMAX® cotton poly ripstop weave is perfect for a sweltering summer month. The nearly translucent weave offers immense breathability and next to skin comfort, while the ripstop weave provides durability and a unique textural handfeel.

This season we redeploy one of our favorite and most versatile fabrics — Schoeller® Dryskin, applying it to a range of outdoor inspired garments and accessories. Manufactured in Switzerland, Dryskin is a highly-functional fabric with a unique and luxurious appearance and feel.

GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ represents an exciting new direction for the renowned fabric innovator. Marked with a White Diamond label, INFINIUM™ garments are more breathable, lighter and softer than their Black Diamond counterparts. Optimized for dryer conditions, INFINIUM™ is totally effective in blocking wind and offers practical water-repellency, making the garments ideal for the urban environment.
