Product description

In 1994, Designtex introduced Sportswear, the industry's first extreme performance woven textile developed specifically for indoor and outdoor stadium seating. Developed in collaboration with textile designer Nancy Giesberger, Sportswear's robustness is due to its unique construction, which utilizes PVC-coated polyester yarns for both the warp and the weft in a dense weave that is ideally suited to upholstery. Famously, the fabric's resilience was demonstrated by testing to 600,000 double rubs with a wire screen abradant.

In this new generation of Sportswear fabrics - once again designed in collaboration with Giesberger - the PVC-coated yarns have been re-engineered to clear them of phthalates, allowing the products to comply with the phthalates restrictions of State of California Prop 65. The new yarns have also been redesigned to create finer threads, allowing for greater subtleties in the weave construction. In addition, the inclusion of pearlized yarn in the fill direction introduces a wide range of color and sheen effects into the collection.
