Thanks to the new technical fabrics for clothing by Pontex it is possible to create any type of classic garment, giving it, at the same time, a contemporary look and a competitive performance, for those who do not want to give up a unique and unmistakable style even in everyday life.

Pontex technical clothing fabrics are made of nylon and nylon combined with cotton, with infinite customization possibilities (even in colors).
Nylon, also called “revolutionary fiber”, was discovered in 1935 in the laboratories of the giant DuPont, by researcher Wallace Hume Carothers. It is the first synthetic fiber in history: a real revolution for the textile fiber industry, with applications in many sectors. Cotton, combined with nylon, gives the fabric greater resistance, softness and shine, making it better and with even higher performance.

The Pontex Collection is also enriched with bi-stretch items for the production of elegant and high-performance garments, with high wearability, ideal for giving personality, value and new expression to the classic lines of formal clothing now interpreted in a more modern and functional way.

Tie-dyed velvet: the art of imperfection

Discover the unique beauty of hand-dyed velvets, where every hue tells a story  Velvet is a fabric very appreciated by fashion, for many reasons: it creates fluid and elegant lines, is available in a wide range of finishing types, from smooth velvet to corduroy, offers many creative possibilities. Furthermore, this fabric is well suited to particular dyes and finishing, as in the case of the so called “tie-dyed” effect.  What is the meaning of tie-dyed in fabrics for clothing?  Tie-dyed means that a fabric for clothing, velvet in this case, was dyed in an uneven way; therefore, it presents a not homogeneous, irregular colour, with striping that confers character and identity. The uneven effect is wanted and sought after.  Why tie-dyed velvet?  With tie-dyed velvet it is possible to create pieces of clothing with a contemporary allure, with a daily and relaxed style. Fluid trousers and shirts with an elegant and shiny touch, versatile jackets and soft embracing coats, with lines that develop themselves comfortable along the silhouette.  Tie-dyed velvets by Pontex  We have created a capsule of precious velvets for clothing with tie-dyed effect, ready to tailor the desired piece of clothing. Our velvets are suitable for garment dyeing process too, that is when the piece of clothing is dyed after tailoring instead of before the realisation of the piece itself. In this case, the piece of clothing acquires a really unique effect because dye distributes in a slightly different way on each piece. Furthermore, garment dyeing allows to dye pieces of clothing made of different materials and fibres in only one passage. For the dyeing process, we rely on the best experts in Northern Italy, specialised in piece and garment dyeing fabrics for clothing by using the most innovative techniques now available. We synergistically work side by side with them in order to realise a product that is unique and customised.  The dyeing process to obtain the tie-dyed effect is hand-made, in a fully artisanal way, through the so-called “spraying”. Upon request, dyeing can be made with natural colours, at a cold temperature, using pigments and resins to dye at relatively low temperatures, with considerable energy saving and reducing impact on environment.  It is important to underline that these particular dyes, as well as finishing, coating and resin-treatments are resistant over time only when realised on top-quality fabrics.  Why rely on Pontex?  Because we are craftsmen in fabric: we dedicate ourselves to the creation of unique and precious, high-quality fabrics for clothing, with a high aesthetical and functional value. Like craftsmen, we perform our work with passion and commitment, investing time and energy in the realisation of each fabric that is customised basing on your requests. We follow you in all production steps, from the choice of the fabric for which we provide stock service, to the best dyeing and finishing process, in a timely manner and making our know-how available for you, following strict checks to test its utmost quality and resistance.
