From the yarn to the skin. Four 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 dense stretch weave in 70% nylon and 30% elastane, 87 g/m², that stretches 48% in the warp and 74% in the weft, for a close, supportive hold.
Mill laboratory test report · 70% nylon, 30% elastane
Tested in the mill’s own laboratory after a 40 °C wash and a tumble dry, the cloth moved no more than 4% in the warp and 1% in the weft.
