Dope-dye dyeing of the main component of this model of gaiter

Dyeing textiles uses lots of water, chemical products and energy. However, we enjoy wearing colour. To reduce this impact, we use the “Dope Dyed” technique where powder colour pigments are added when the yarn is produced (and not by soaking it in dye baths as is usually the case). This reduces consumption and the discharge of waste water from colouring our fabrics.

Make the waterproofing of this textile model last longer

Even though this model has a waterproof main component, it is advisable to use a re-waterproofing spray a few times a year, which will restore the original water-repellency and combat exterior stains.

--> It revitalises the water-repellent properties of the outer material (water runs off and doesn’t soak in). Each fabric section is sprayed taking care not to forget the thread in the seams (water loves seams!!)
