Stretch fabric matters where the job involves kneeling, climbing and reaching overhead — a rigid trouser pulls at the knee and the wearer feels it by mid-shift. This range holds 16 published articles from 165 to 300 g/m², all OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified, with selected articles meeting EN 343 or EN ISO 20471. Elastane content gives both stretch and recovery, so garments return to shape instead of bagging at the knee. Used for fitted workwear in installation, maintenance, utilities and technical services.

Frequently asked questions
When is stretch fabric worth the cost?
When the job involves kneeling, climbing or reaching overhead. A rigid trouser pulls at the knee, and wearers notice it by mid-shift.
What is the difference between stretch and recovery?
Stretch is how far the fabric gives; recovery is whether it returns. Without recovery a garment bags at the knee after a few wears — elastane provides both.
