Provenance
Our Flow suits are woven by Reda, a textile mill in Italy, from 90% Merino wool, 9% linen and 1% elastane, an elastic-like fibre. While lightweight and breathable, the cloth delivers flexibility, movement and range never seen before in suiting.
Back in 2021 we tested the suits on free runner Dominic di Tommaso (google 'Up the Wall + M.J. Bale + Tommasso'). “I was completely surprised by the lack of resistance I felt moving, particularly with regards to the suit’s shoulder range,” says Tommaso. “With my leg movements and taking off plyometrically, there was no resistance or point of stress at full motion.. the other standout feature was the breathability of the material and how well-ventilated they were – during both warmer and colder temperatures. I never got too cold or sweaty, which is an issue I have with other suits, usually drenching them out.”
Fibre History
Provenance
This cloth is woven by 158-year-old Italian weaver, Reda. Owned and operated by multiple generations of the Botto Poala family, Reda is located amongst the Alps in Valle Mosso, Piedmont, within the historic Biella province. In 2020 it was the first textile company in Italy to receive B Corp status and then in 2022 became a Benefit Company. Reda operates its business according to the highest ethical standards with regards to the environment, community and people. The company limits its ecological impact, especially in terms of toxic chemical usage.
Reda has also joined ZQRX (ZQ Regenerative Index), a platform dedicated to people, companies and organisations who wish to collaborate and measure their sustainability performance to best identify their strengths and the areas they need to improve.
Weaving
Performance
This jacket is created with a half-canvas, which is a flat ‘skeleton-style’ layer of natural fibres woven together that lies between the inner and outer fabric of the body of the jacket. The half-canvas provides shape and structure, maintaining the jacket’s form through decades, if cared for properly.
