The fabric

We’ve selected TenCate Protective Fabrics’ Tecapro® satin line BG9035 Europeanmanufactured material for this garment because of its unique combination of comfort, strength, protection, and colour performance – it really lasts, and offers great value for money. The fabric also has an extremely low shrinkage value –less than 3%.
