The COVID-19 outbreak has transformed our daily lives, virtually overnight, from the way we work, study and socialize with friends.

As the pandemic slows, most things will gradually return to something close to normal. However, some will remain different … such as the way people think about everyday fashion items like shirts.

Leading global wool spinner, Südwolle Group and The LYCRA Company have partnered to bring the next level of sustainability and unique performance into the wool market with a ground-breaking new cationic dyeable COOLMAX® EcoMade long staple GRS certified yarn.

We are proud to announce that our COOLMAX® technology has been introduced into an extensive collection of H&M’s key summer styles and wardrobe essentials, helping the retailer to bring effortless style and supreme functionality to its menswear offering.

The Challenge

Consumers value comfort and a major source of wearer discomfort is feeling hot and sticky. Whether perspiration is caused by high temperatures or physical activity, it can drain your energy and negatively impact your performance. Today’s consumers want to enjoy the cooling performance benefits they’ve experienced when wearing activewear in other types of apparel.

Known as India’s fashion hub, fbb turned to The LYCRA Company to help it develop an in-store promotion for its new line of men’s shirts by Buffalo brand, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Featuring COOLMAX® technology and suitable for any occasion, “Checks Shirts” are perfect for hot, humid summers in India. Available in 10 colorways, the stylish new range is engineered to keep the wearer cool, dry and comfortable.
