INTERESTED IN SUSTAINABLE FASHION?
This product is also available as LYCRA® T400® EcoMade fiber, which offers sustainability benefits and the same lasting performance as the original fiber. This fiber is made in part from renewable plant-based materials and post-consumer recycled plastic like PET bottles.
"LYCRA® T400® fiber is the building block for a number of denim technologies from The LYCRA Company, including LYCRA® dualFX® fabric, LYCRA® lastingFIT fabric, LYCRA® TOUGH MAX™ fabric, and LYCRA® XFIT fabric. We use its inherent helical coils to make the fabric with comfort stretch and superior recovery. The polyester-based polymer components enable the fabrics to survive the harsh chemicals used in denim processing and workwear laundering. It is a distinguished and irreplaceable special elastic fiber."
