Mount Vernon meets demand for expanded flame-resistant fabric offering
24/08/2015
Yarn-dyed fabrics provide improved durability and pattern integrity through the rigours of industrial laundering compared to printed fabric, offering customers a premium option for their patterned FR apparel, says the company.
Each customer-specific design will require a minimum of 5,000 yards of fabric, which will yield approximately 3,000 finished shirts.
"Many of our customers told us they were looking for patterned FR fabrics that are of even higher quality and more industrial laundry-friendly than those available today. We have found that yarn-dyed fabric is the best way to meet their needs," said Mike Woods, vice president of FR fabrics for Mount Vernon. " This new programme will give customers a premium shirting option to go along with the character-rich flame resistant denims that we produce.
"Record low temperatures were recorded in many areas across the county last year, and Nanuq CWI will help companies be better prepared to provide both warmth and protection to workers that must brave the elements to get the job done."
