In fact, veteran drivers who know fabric-related knowledge know that except for both, both have the word TEX®, GORE-TEX® and SOLOTEX® are not "blood-related". Except for being produced from different fabric companies, their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are different. Today, Powie will take you to take a look at SOLOTEX®, a half-brother with GORE-TEX®.
BTW, in the article "New Fabric Playback" three days ago, I saw readers leaving messages saying that they had gained something, and I was immediately full of energy. Since everyone is very interested in fabrics, I will continue to work hard today.
In fact, I have also previewed the fabric fibers of SOLOTEX® series for you in an article three days ago. However, as I dig further, I found that many of the brands we are familiar with have different fabric fibers using SOLOTEX® series. Yes, SOLOTEX®, like GORE-TEX®, is not a single fabric fiber, but a base for the entire system.
As for what brand there is, Rong Xiaobian will keep it a secret first. (image: m.solotex.net)
Let’s go to SOLOTEX®’s fiber “parallel universe” with you. Like GORE-TEX®, to understand it, you will definitely mention Gore Associates, Inc.; to better understand SOLOTEX®, you must first know what Teijin Frontier Co is behind it.
Teijin Group was established in 1915 (the 15th year of Taisho, Japan), and was called "Yimazawa Artificial Hot Manufacturing Factory" (i.e. Artificial fiber manufacturing institute); later it was reorganized in 1918, "Imperial Artificial Hot Manufacturing Co., Ltd.", which is now the Teijin Group, officially expanding its own fiber manufacturing field.
There is a little knowledge point - the legal date of establishment in the Diren Group Company summary is 1918, while the real date of establishment is 1915. (image: suzukishoten-mus.sakura.ne.jp)
After more than 100 years of development, the company's main business areas now include composite forming materials, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, film, resin, fiber products and other materials, as well as pharmaceutical and medical business and IT business. The Group has more than 170 subsidiaries in more than 20 countries and regions around the world.
Business in China began to export complete sets of equipment for polyester fiber to China in the 1970s. It started to invest in 1994 and gradually expanded its scale. Now, with major cities as the center, it has established various functions such as production, sales, and markets. (image: [email protected])
Until today, Teijin Group still abides by the brand declaration "Human Chemistry, Human Solutions" , and strives to promote technological innovation by integrating high-performance materials, medicine and medical care, IT and various businesses.

You should know that the research and development of new fabric fiber is a bottomless pit for money , so we can find that behind most of the technological fabric fibers on the market is a huge company. Now back to our topic today - SOLOTEX®, I have a little more respect for it. Let it appear grandly!

Although SOLOTEX® is not the only fabric fiber of the Teijin Group, it can definitely be called the group's "trump card fiber" because Teijin Group has invested a lot in SOLOTEX® and has launched six series of fabric fibers based on SOLOTEX®, corresponding to the production of different types of clothing.

SOLOTEX® SYNEX® fabric has the biggest feature of 's super wrinkle resistance and morphological stability (similar to today's memory metal material), and the wrinkles formed by heavy objects will be much less than the general polyester fiber and cotton; more importantly, after simple wrinkle removal (such as flattening the wrinkles by hand), SOLOTEX® SYNEX® can almost be restored to a flat state.

The state after simple wrinkle removal is SOLOTEX® SYNEX® fiber on the left and ordinary polyester fiber on the right. (image: solotex.net)
, and it has the hard handheld feeling of , and also has the soft touch of . It will not cause a burden to wear on the body. In addition, SOLOTEX® SYNEX® also has excellent color quality. When applying color, does not easily produce color difference , and can present bright colors.

In addition, due to the inherent material stability of SOLOTEX® SYNEX®, it rarely undergoes size expansion and shrinkage (very small shrinkage) even if it is repeatedly washed, which can achieve a long-term and comfortable wearing experience.
SOLOTEX® SALLIA® is a high-end composite fabric fiber produced by "co-branding" with Miyata Wool Industry in Oshu, Japan, using SOLOTEX® as the basis, combining local technology in Oshu, Japan with other high-quality natural raw materials.

retains the advantages of natural fabrics, is soft and has outstanding stretching and restoration. is a good fabric for close-fitting clothing ; some tight jeans styles are also very suitable for SOLOTEX® SALLIA®, and it is better than the yarn coordination of the general denim fabric and is also more environmentally friendly.

The next SOLOTEX® FULFLAN® fabric is made for gentlemen clothing, imitation wool coarse spun fabric . It uses high-end high-volume blending technology to cover the outer periphery of the wool yarn to form a natural protective film, thereby achieving the texture and delicate variegated appearance of the imitation wool yarn.

In addition, even if is washed with a general household washing machine , SOLOTEX® FULFLAN® can maintain the stability of the shape; even if the washing machine is too strong, its excellent form reduction can allow users to smooth their clothes easily (even without ironing).
Compared with the washing of normal wool, the left is normal wool and the right is SOLOTEX® FULFLAN® fabric. (image: solotex.net)
SOLOTEX® FULFLAN® has another advantage that I have to say - has excellent insect-proof , so the user does not even need to use insect-proof agents, and can keep it clean with simple care.

SOLOTEX® SUAVEX® is an excellent composite staple fiber fabric. T-shirts with various single fabric tissues are their most suitable application scenarios.
(image: solotex.net)
Because SOLOTEX® SUAVEX® is made of natural fibers and chemical fibers, it can not only retain the skin-friendly and environmentally friendly advantages of natural materials, but also retain the unique touch of chemical fiber materials. The characteristics of the two are combined to make SOLOTEX® SUAVEX® which is as soft as tital hair .
(image: solotex.net)
and it has extremely strong coordination (because the fiber length is short), and can be blended with different natural or chemical fiber materials.
SOLOTEX® Siletty® can exert the characteristics of its fabric and show a beautiful outline based on the unique stretchability and soft and smooth texture of SOLOTEX® fibers. It also has excellent form stability and color rendering, and also extends the possibility of fashion design.
(image: solotex.net)
SOLOTEX® Siletty® is mainly used in the production of gentleman jackets, coats and windbreakers. Its soft and smooth texture can reduce friction between clothes, which on the one hand reduces the burden of wearing, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the generation of static electricity by .

In addition, SOLOTEX® Siletty® has excellent independent ductility. increases the tear resistance of clothing . Even if the coat is pulled and deformed by external force, there is a way to restore it.
Teijin Group also made a column chart that compared with polyester taffeta (a silk fabric).(image: solotex.net)
The last SOLOTEX® CREARTA® is a worsted elastic fabric made of high-end composite yarn blended with SOLOTEX® fiber and elastic yarn.
(image: solotex.net)
It can be used as a comfortable custom fabric instead of wool, a custom fabric common on the market. Because it is blended with elastic yarn, it has the texture of a highly resilient worsted fabric and a moderate fluffy feel, making it a good fabric for sewing formal wear.
High stretching can also make the wearing experience more comfortable. (image: IG@root_official)
The most special thing is that SOLOTEX® CREARTA® can achieve a yarn warp and weft structure different from the general linear fabric structure. weaves a round twill-like woven structure , allowing clothing to have better stretchability and morphological reduction.
Faced with such excellent fabric fibers, it is inevitable that high-quality clothing brands will be favored by high-quality clothing brands. Recently, I have discovered that many brands are fans of SOLOTEX®.

Like this coat launched by Barbour and SOPHNET. uses a fabric blended with high-quality British wool and SOLOTEX® fibers, and is the inner lining of the plaid nylon fabric.
(image: m.solotex.net)
SOPHNET. founder Hirofumi Kiyonaga is the number one fan of SOLOTEX® fiber. Not only did he use SOLOTEX® fibers many times in the joint series between Barbour and SOPHNET., he also conducted three exclusive interviews about SOLOTEX® fibers at the invitation of the Teijin Group.
(image: m.solotex.net)
and our old friends New Balance are also fans of SOLOTEX®, such as New Balance Japan, which combines SOLOTEX® fiber, the "WAIST TO TOE" clothing series . The collection is known as the "most beautiful clothing series to match with New Balance shoes".
is indeed not overrepresented, making people full of desire to buy hahahaha. BTW, the series also recently launched a new autumn and winter model in gray. (image: m.solotex.net)
The fabric stability and comfort brought by its blended with natural fibers allows you to wear the "WAIST TO TOE" series on your body or in your suitcase with confidence, and you don't need special maintenance to restore your original form after washing.
BTW, the full series of "WAIST TO TOE" is available on the official website of New Balance Japan. (image: m.solotex.net)
Then let The North Face come to the finale today. Just a few months ago, The North Face’s new destined Doro Light Pants incorporated SOLOTEX®, which is also an example of outdoor brands integrating SOLOTEX® fiber.
(image: m.solotex.net)
The designer of this series, Mr. Daping, , was born in 2017 this year. The Doro Light Pants model was incorporated into the not-outdoor SOLOTEX® fiber, aiming to enable Doro Light Pants to adapt to urban use scenarios and allow buyers to go further away without burdens with .
(image: m.solotex.net)
At the same time, the integration of SOLOTEX® fibers also corresponds to the name of the Doro Light Pants series. "Doro" is Italian, meaning "gold" . Doro Light Pants is such a pants that combines "high-end and lightweight".
In addition, this year, Doro Light Pants shorts were launched, which are available in Goldwin Japan Online Mall. The long model is 14,300 yen and the short model is 10,200 yen. BTW, I personally prefer shorts. (image: m.solotex.net)
Then today's "small class" about SOLOTEX® fabric fibers ends here. I wonder if you have any veteran drivers planting these items that use SOLOTEX®? Anyway, I love it more and more the more I watch it, especially the Barbour x SOPHNET. co-branded series and the "WAIST TO TOE" series, I wish I could rush up immediately hahaha. If you have any other SOLOTEX® clothing items you think are good, you can give me all kinds of grass in the comment area, please!
