LYCRA® LastingFIT 2.0 Technology

Well-fitting, long-lasting, sustainable denim

LYCRA® LastingFIT 2.0 Technology

The challenge:

Designing clothes that last longer and are more durable is the key to reducing environmental impacts. So how can we help consumers with their requests to purchase higher quality garments that will last so they can keep them in their wardrobe for a more extended period to help reduce apparel waste?

The solution:

Most consumers make the connection between durability and sustainability and understand the symbiotic relationship with similarly aligned objectives. Our NEW and improved LYCRA® lastingFIT 2.0 Technology, a key offering from our LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ brand suite of products, helps create durable denim with a long-lasting fit and comfort. LYCRA® lastingFIT 2.0 Technology offers solutions for new apparel trends with recycled fibers and enhancement of durable properties, including EcoMade fiber offerings—making it possible to create low to high stretch levels with a natural touch. Design high-quality, durable jeans that are comfortable and well-fitting that consumers will want to wear again and again.
