Merino + linen = cotton?!?

Dreamspun Merino Halfdome

An ultralight dream of a merino sun hoodie experiment[ #593] with a less-is-more approach to the hood. Designed to be worn in conjunction with a hat, the halfdome hood protects the neck and ears while leaving the front exposed. Because why cover what a hat will anyway? Sewn in the 110gsm experimental new Dreamspun fabric that combines 79% super soft 16.5 micron top-capped merino with 21% nylon filaments to ratchet up the durability for its weight.

Dreamspun Merino Cut One + Cut Two

An ultralight dream of a merino t-shirt experiment [ #591], spun with nylon to new levels of relative durability. Clocking in at just 110gsm, the experimental new Dreamspun fabric combines 79% super soft 16.5 micron top-capped merino with 21% nylon filaments to ratchet up the durability for its weight.

Cut One is our classic cut, straight and long. Cut Two is our box cut, squared out with broad-shoulders and a high neck.

Nycogaze - A cotton contemplating nothingness. Any lighter and this fabric might disappear. At 80gsm it’s by far the lightest knit we’ve ever used. The secret is the corespun yarn, 70% cotton by weight, wrapped tightly around a fine nylon filament and enzyme basted to burn away any fuzzy flyaways. Knit in Italy by Brugnoli, these yarns are used to create a jersey that is hyper-light yet robustly durable for its weight. The handfeel is dry and almost starchy but also nearly weightless and impossibly breathable. Visually it’s not really a gauze but it’s on the way there, with a light translucency that provides a rather sultry amount of coverage. At UPF 5 in Black it provides rather modest sun protection as well.

Injex Splitshorts

A barely there shorts experiment [ #588] with split sides and stripped down details. The Injected Linen fabric is open yet opaque. Features an elastic waistband with paracord+3Bar adjustment, but there are no pockets and the seams are mostly raw cut to shed bulk and weight. Strictly for the bold and shameless.

Injex Midis

A pant that wears like a short, in a cut loose-but-not-too-loose experiment [ #586]. The Injected Linen fabric is remarkably open to the air yet opaque to the eye. Linen’s dry touch and beautiful aging character meets a radical warp-knit weft-insertion technique to create an ideal summer pant.
