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.

NYDJ Cool Embrace® jeans are made with moisture-wicking COOLMAX® technology to keep women extra cool and extra comfortable, even on the hottest of days. The new line, recently featured on QVC, features breathable, soft denim in an array of styles, cuts, fits and colors.

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.

We recently interviewed Jeffi Girgenti, the entrepreneur behind FOOT HUGGIES brand, to learn how she developed her line of tall boot socks designed for equestrians. Jeffi runs her sock business from Southern California, where she has been a manicurist for 34 years and nail salon owner for 20 years. Her 100% Made in the USA socks are manufactured using COOLMAX® technology and LYCRA® fiber, and can be found on the feet of everyone from Pony Club riders (just learning horsemanship) to Olympic champions!

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.

Carrington Textiles, the largest producer of workwear fabrics in the UK, is launching MOLVENO, an exciting new fabric for the workwear segment that features LYCRA® T400® technology . This hard-wearing fabric for workwear will debut at Techtextil 2019 and offers 4-way comfort stretch that flexes to follow a worker’s every move and moisture management. As a result, MOLVENO qualifies for both LYCRA® fiber and COOLMAX® technology branding and is eligible for free swing tags to drive sales.

When it comes to motorcycle apparel, denim never goes out of style, but Tech90 shows how it can be improved upon. Tech90 is a Turkish company that designs and produces innovative clothing for the global biker community. Since biker comfort, safety and protection are vital, Tech90 takes great care to select quality fabrics for its jeans. That’s why the company has chosen a fabric containing COOLMAX® technology for the lining of select performance jeans.
