From the yarn to the skin. Three steps, in the order they are made, each set out with the document behind it.
An ultra-light stretch nylon, 53 g/m², woven in Italy for Swing, Gruppocinque’s performance line, near Lake Como. 84% nylon, 16% elastane. Colour fastness 4 to water, dry rubbing and perspiration. A cloth this fine asks for care around sharp edges.
Mill test sheet · 84% nylon, 16% elastane
Woven at Payen in the Ardèche, a house making yarn since 1839, which states it is the only weaver in Europe to control every step from polymer to finished cloth. The elastic yarn is covered, warped, woven, dyed and finished at the mill’s own sites, with no step subcontracted. A plain weave of 54 g/m² that stretches 60% in the warp and 63% in the weft, and holds above 30,000 Martindale abrasion cycles.
Mill data · 66% nylon, 34% elastane
The lining is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, class II, the class for fabrics worn directly against the skin. This means an independent laboratory has tested the fabric against limits for several hundred regulated substances, limits often stricter than the law. The mill also confirms that no PFAS is added at any step.
