WE HAVE BEEN DESIGNING TEXTILES FOR 25 YEARS. MY WIFE AND I

TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY AROUND THE WORLD FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE STARTED

DESIGNING OUR LINE OF CLOTHING WE WANTED TO PRESENT ITEMS THAT

WOULD TRAVEL WELL, BE STABLE IN COLOR, NOT WRINKLE EASILY, WOULD

LAUNDER WELL AND WERE TOTALLY UNIQUE. WHEN MICRO-FIBER FABRICS

WERE DEVELOPED, THEY FIT THESE REQUIREMENTS EXACTLY. WE STARTED USING

RARE REMNANTS OF THESE FABRICS TO MAKE OUR ITEMS; BUT WE WANTED

TO BE EVEN MORE ORIGINAL, SO WE STARTED DOING TOTALLY ORIGINAL

ARTWORK AND GRAPHICS THAT WOULD BE PRINTED ON THESE COPYRIGHTED

FABRICS FOR OUR USE ONLY.

MOST BUSINESSES OF OUR SIZE DO NOT DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE HUGE MINIMUM YARDAGE REQUIREMENTS(1500-3000 YARDS) TO "VANITY PRINT" OUR OWN ARTWORKS. WE USUALLY CAN ONLY DESIGN A SINGLE PRINT PER YEAR, GIVEN THOSE LARGE COSTS.

ALSO WHENEVER WE FIND A GREAT REMNANT PRINT, WE USE THEM TO MAKE OUR

DRESSES AND JACKETS. WE WANT THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE SUCH AN ORIGINAL

ITEM THAT THEY GET ALMOST SICK OF HEARING: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

THE Malden MIlls 200 WEIGHT PolarTek® FABRICS THAT WE USE FOR OUR CAPE

DESIGNS ARE THE FINEST GRADE OF THESE TYPES OF FLEECE MATERIALS. THESE

FABRICS DO NOT PILL WITH LAUNDERING OR NORMAL USAGE. IT'S JUST THE RIGHT

WEIGHT FOR OUR CALIFORNIA CLIMATE. THESE FABRICS ARE MADE FROM MOSTLY

RECYCLED MATERIALS.

THIS WEIGHT OF FABRIC ALSO DRAPES WELL AND DOES NOT BUNCH UP OR

WRINKLE EASILY. THERE ARE NO DYES IN THIS FABRIC TO CREATE COLOR STABILITY

PROBLEMS. THE STYLES OR CUTS OF OUR CAPES ARE VERY ORIGINAL YET WE STICK

TO CLASSIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES THAT KEEPS OUR ITEMS IN STYLE FOREVER. WE

CAN CUSTOM MAKE OUR CAPES OR DRESSES TO ANY SIZE REQUIREMENTS.
