Casual Cotton Club

Every day is a holiday

Sporty and casual cotton and cotton blends with polyamide and polyester. In addition to the classics of poplin and gabardine, fine weaves such as Cotéle, Panama and twill have made a come back. Supple, clean and cool satin is a must.

Fine yarns, clean or with flame effect, are used for sportive structures. Two-tone colours place three-dimensional emphasis on these discreet weave effects. Mono and bi-elastic constructions are the basis for optimal comfort in wear.

The colours: all natural shades, such as beige, sand, stone, khaki and olive, are still important and will continue to be so. New colours are maize and honey. White is the colour for summer 2003!

Natural Luxury

Business feeling is private feeling

Fine yarns through to twisted yarns in NM 170/2 are worked into compact stretch constructions. With high tech finish, this creates cool, clean and sporty-cum-elegant fabrics in cotton elastane and cotton blends with polyester elastane.

Cotton obtains a new, elegant and almost silky drape and lustre when combined with twisted endless viscose. Here, too, discreet weaves such as satin, ultra-fine herringbone twills and poplins play a decisive role.

One new fabric is the Tergal microfibre, Filifine. It differs from conventional polyester microyarns because it is the only type of micro fibreyarn. It is therefore softer and feels more natural to the touch. Fabrics with weft elasticity in a cotton micro-Filifine blend are a new development. They are easy to care for and crease-resistant due to the synthetic fibre in the yarn. At the same time, the microfibre adds volume and lightness.

The colours: classic colour palette from black to white, through marine, beige and camel.

Linen

Linen is summer feeling

When blended with cotton, linen creates sporty and comfortable fabrics, as horizontal stretch, poplin or panama weave.

A linen viscose blend produces washable, soft qualities with a subtle handle.
The combination of linen and polyester creates crease-resistant, supple fabrics that can be lent an air of sporty sophistication or elegance with two-tone colours.

The colours: the linen theme focuses on the classic natural colours and white, folklore red, medium blue, khaki and green, maize and yellow.

City Luxury

Life means travelling

Fabrics with subtle handle for year-round travel fabrics are created in acetate polyester and polyester elastane blends. Fine crepe yarns ensure the garments’ silky feel and drape. The fabrics are washable, easy to care for and crease-resistant.

Alongside classic gabardine, discreet weave structures are used to produce the novel and slightly relief-like appearance of the articles.

The colours: classic colour palette from black to white, through marine, beige and camel.
