WICHITA, Kan. – Marking another milestone in the CORDURA® brand's “50 for 50” Anniversary campaign, Material ConneXion voted in two new categories of high-performance CORDURA® fabrics to its global innovation library.

 

Durable technical CORDURA® Denims from the brand's 'X. Venture' collaboration with Artistic Milliners, Schoeller Technologies and Lenzing Tencel®, as well as fabrics from its latest “Performance Naturals” collaboration with Cotton Incorporated (CORDURA® STORM COTTONTM French Terry and TransDRY Twill) will be showcased through both online and physical Material ConneXion libraries in Bangkok, Bilbao, Daegu, Milan, Skövde, Tokyo and New York City.

 

"We are honored that our fabrics have been selected for inclusion in such a leading innovative, materials driven global platform," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand and marketing director. "Between Material ConneXion's extensive showrooms all around the world and the easy accessibility of its online directory, designers will have quick and convenient insight into our latest Live Durable fabric technologies."

 

New materials are carefully evaluated based on their unique technical offerings, cutting-edge innovation and outstanding performance. CORDURA® Denims from the brand's 'X. Venture Collexion,' a retro-futuristic line of garments created through a collaborative effort with designer Michele Rose and in concert with Artistic Milliners, the brand's longest running authorized CORDURA® Denim mill, were selected and voted in after the materials caught the attention of Material ConneXion's research team.

 

These innovative denims are now on display in Material ConneXion's multiple global showrooms, as well as included in the company's comprehensive online database:

 

• Designed to help regulate body temperature, CORDURA® Denim with Schoeller® PCM Technology is a durable CORDURA® fabric created to stand up to extreme environments that features a special coating with active temperature equalization and dynamic climate control.

• A high-performance protective fabric, CORDURA® Denim with Schoeller® ceraspace Technology offers enhanced abrasion-resistant properties for environments where maximum-protection is needed.

• Nylon, cotton and wool seamlessly blend in CORDURA® Combat Wool Denim. Offering enhanced abrasion-resistance, this fabric combines the look and feel of denim with the natural comfort properties of wool.

 

The Material ConneXion review committee also selected fabrics from the latest CORDURA® + Cotton Incorporated 'Performance Naturals' collection – STORM COTTONTM French Terry and TransDRYTM Twill fabrics based on intimate blend CORDURA® NYCO fabric technology. These state-of-art, quick-dry fabrics offer the tried and true, long-lasting durable performance of CORDURA® fiber, combined with specialist product technologies, STORM COTTONTM and TransDryTM, by Cotton Incorporated.

 

"Our fabric categories are scientific in nature, but tailored to suit the design community," said Gayatri Keskar, senior material scientist, Advanced Materials. "Including the CORDURA® brand allows us to expand our portfolio and offer a wider variety of durable, cross-functional fabrics to our audience."

 

Material ConneXion is built on the belief that Every Idea has a Material SolutionTM. It is a trusted partner of Fortune 500 corporations and forward-thinking companies seeking a sustainable or competitive edge.
