LYCRA® LASTINGFIT FABRIC
WHY CHOOSE LYCRA® LASTINGFIT FABRIC?
- The Challenge:
Consumers are turning away from fast fashion and are looking for durable garments that are more sustainable. Experts agree that wearing clothes longer reduces the environmental impact of a garment, but how do you keep garments from wearing out too quickly?
- The Solution:
LYCRA® lastingFIT fabric, better known by its consumer brand name LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, resists fiber damage caused by external agents to deliver long-lasting comfort, fit, and shape to apparel. This technology can use a specially modified LYCRA® brand spandex (elastane) fiber or polyester LYCRA® T400® fiber to create more durable garments.
