Perfectly fitting appearance with fabrics from Melchior Textil

Wangen, August 2020: Company clothing made to customer specifications requires a precisely coordinated, contemporary selection of textiles. With "Style" and "Dynamic", Melchior Textil offers two fabric lines that make a corporate fashion concept with a wide range of assortment components feasible: they combine modern designs, colours and functionalities with light and medium weight categories and are also hard-wearing, durable and suitable for leasing.

Clothing with an individual touch is the trend in many areas of working life. They should set accents or reflect the corporate identity of a company down to the employee wardrobe. To ensure that corporate wear is "all of a piece", Melchior Textil has developed two tailor-made fabric lines for the ready-to-wear industry: "Style" and "Dynamic". Thanks to their coordinated colour, design and material concept, the modern ranges enable the realisation of holistic outfits from head to toe.

Harmonious, modern fabric portfolio

The "Style" fabric line offers attractive qualities for fashion-inspired corporate fashion. The light shirt and blouse fabrics include fil-á-fil and melange looks in fresh trend tones and are complemented by functionalities such as stretch or the natural climate comfort of Tencel fibres. This is complemented by contemporary, dark denim and ripstop fabrics with and without a stretch effect, which give trousers, jackets, dresses and co. a high degree of wearing comfort.

Fabrics for professional athletes

In the "Dynamic" line, Melchior Textil has combined comfortable stretch fabrics that are recommended for workwear with a sporty, casual look and pleasant wear characteristics. Light, elastic shirt and blouse fabrics in classic white and cool melange looks harmonize with medium-weight denim or twill stretch and indestructible ripstop.

Fabrics that score with function and style

"Because employees expect the same benefits from their work clothes as from their private clothes, we have provided our "Dynamic" and "Style" fabrics with indispensable properties: They are equipped with long-lasting elasticity, pleasant lightness and trendy looks", reports Manfred Seeber, Managing Director of Melchior Textil. Thanks to the addition of the botanical Tencel fibre, the "Emotion" qualities also have optimum moisture management properties that ensure a cool skin climate in warm environments or exhausting activities.

High performance included

"Corporate Wear is designed for the long-term external presentation of a company. Therefore additional requirements apply to the usage and care properties of the fabrics", adds Manfred Seeber. "Like all our qualities, "Style" and "Dynamic" fabrics guarantee a detailed technical performance profile: they are hard-wearing, tear-resistant, pilling resistant, colourfast, industrially washable and therefore particularly durable and thus sustainable".

For fabrics used in the healthcare sector, Tencel gets involved

Wangen, July 2020: Working in the care and health sector is physically demanding. Therefore special demands are made on the climate and wearing comfort of workwear. The fabric lines "Emotion" and "Dynamic Emotion" by Melchior Textil meet these requirements with unique Tencel blended fabrics. They add elasticity, durability and leasing suitability to the positive properties.

"Work in hospitals, in geriatric care and in many other health care professions is often associated with hectic and physical stress. In addition, there is often a warm room climate, which alternates with cool temperatures, for example, when changing building sections", knows Ramona Wizorreck, Product and Export Manager at Melchior Textil, "Employees therefore need workwear that is tailored to the special conditions of the sector and which keeps them healthy and productive. The functionality of the clothing is additionally supported by selected textiles. We therefore recommend Tencel blended fabrics from our "Emotion" line for workwear in the healthcare sector: the textiles are breathable, moisture-regulating, skin-friendly and have a soft, cool feel. At the same time, they are hard-wearing, suitable for leasing, durable and therefore sustainable".

Tencel leaves nothing to be desired

Tencel is a fibre made from natural raw materials with incomparable properties. It has a smooth surface, is very absorbent and has excellent drying properties. Absorbed moisture is distributed over the entire cross-section of the fibre, from where it can evaporate quickly. This creates a pleasantly cooling effect on the skin.

Another characteristic of Tencel fibre is its use for workwear in the health sector: After washing, a voluminous surface is created. Compared to similar qualities made of polyester/cotton blends, this surface is more opaque even at lower basis weights.

Stress-resistant climate fabrics

The "Emotion" line from Melchior Textil combines the positive properties of Tencel with those of polyester. This makes the fabrics, available in 36 modern colours, particularly tear-resistant, hard-wearing, durable and suitable for leasing. With the addition of "Dynamic Emotion", Melchior Textil has also equipped its "Air-Condition-Qualities" with a high level of comfort in movement. By incorporating industrially washable stretch fibres into the weft yarn, the textiles are elastic and have good rebound properties. Thus, the stretchable climatic fabrics ensure that both the clothing and the employees remain in top form under permanent stress.

Melchior Textil weaves aesthetics with functionality

Wangen, July 2020: The look of employees in the restaurant and hotel industry is becoming more casual. Denim stretch, melange qualities and fabrics with a technical-functional touch are experiencing a boom in all work areas from the kitchen to reception. The fabrics for trendy workwear come from Melchior Textil. In the "Style" and "Emotion" and "Dynamic" lines, the company has created fabrics that offer a modern look and at the same time durability, hardwearing and suitable for leasing.

The workwear world in the catering and hotel industry is becoming more casual and functional. Trousers, tops and aprons made of denim and robust high-tech optics determine the appearance of the employees. The casual look is underlined by reduced colours that take their cue from the jeans-blue original or are given a more technical emphasis by anthracite and black. In the lighter fabric segment, melange qualities are added, with which a modern design concept can be adapted to shirts, blouses or dresses.

Fabric variety for the modern look

The fabric lines "Style" and "Dynamic" by Melchior Textil offer the whole range of attractive qualities for the new look in the catering and hotel industry. The selection ranges from medium-heavy denim-stretch articles in dark and light natural shades to fil-á-fil and melange looks in young colours and functional ripstop fabrics with a natural climate effect. The trendy fabric ranges are also regularly supplemented with new products for the next generation of gastro clothing.

Designed to work

"Style", "Emotion" and "Dynamic" convince not only with their modern appearance, but also with their technical performance. "Each fabric is tailored to the high demands of use and industrial care," explains Manfred Seeber, Managing Director of Melchior Textil: "All qualities offer good skin, wearing and climate comfort, are hard-wearing, low-pilling, suitable for leasing and therefore particularly durable and sustainable. In this way we bridge the gap between the aesthetic demands of hoteliers and restaurateurs and the functional requirements of garment makers and the textile service industry".
