INVISTA's relationship and commitment to its direct customers is paramount and the following endorsements from its key mills regarding the new LYCRA LastingFIT fabric is a testament to its success:

Paolo Gnutti, Vice President at ITV comments, 'T400 fibre is a unique product within the marketplace. From weaving to garment washing and confection, it enables us to operate a superior yet easy and cost-effective production process. Its winning point, appreciated by brands and retailers alike, is the low shrinkage that it brings to garments, which is far below 4% with any type of washing or treatment.'

Gianluigi Gamba, Quality Director at ITV adds, 'Fabrics made with T400 fibre can stretch up to 20% and this elasticity allows a longlasting fit for the duration of any garment's life which we know is what our customers want us to deliver to them time and time again.'

Alberto Candiani, Marketing Director at TRC Candiani states, 'T400 fibre is a very important innovation within elastomeric yarns. It best suits the needs of the premium denim industry as it allows designers to create the perfect fit for their garments. Furthermore any weft stretch fabric with T400 fibre can withstand aggressive chemical wash treatments without compromising the properties of elasticity, growth and shrinkage.'
