What is velour?
Velour is a fabric that can be woven or knitted. For velour the loops has been cut into hair. Fabric with un-cut loops is called terry.
Why do we have a 100% Organic cotton velour?
1/ We dislike synthetic materials.
2/ The GOTS standards does not allow us to use more then 8% of polyester in a product. For a polyester blend velour we would need 18- 24 % of polyester. With polyester we would get a thinner, smoother velour. This velour would have a great shine and a synthetic hand feel. But this kind of velour is not an option for us.
3/ We are proud to have 100% organic cotton velour. A 100% cotton velour is more heavy than a synthetic blend velour. The hair of a 100% cotton velour is shorter compared to a synthetic blend velour. The look and hand feel has more in common with terry than a synthetic blend velour. When you remove the velour garment from the plastic bag there might be creases from the folding. Shake it out, put it on a hanger or put the garment on and the crease will be gone. A 100% cotton velour makes long lasting garments.
This note should be passed on to all customers at point of sale.
What are the dye/print options for velour?
- Solid velour. The fabric is dyed in one solid colour.
- Printed with Bleach. The fabric is dyed in one solid colour and then printed with bleach (This is not an option we approve).
- Printed velour. The hair of the velour is all over printed. Bottom is un-dyed. This is the option we have chosen.
The hood suit;
- the ironing has been a bit hard on the hood suits by the zipper which makes it look worn down and bold, one wash inside out and even a tumble dry will make the "hair" fall into the right position again. Is it bold? No it is not. Tumble dry? Yes, all our garments can be tumble dried. Velour even looks better after a short inside- out tumble dry.
