In the working world Klopman
is unique in being Europe's only manufacturer
dedicated solely to the production of fabrics
for workwear and image wear.
It is a dedication that
began with Klopman's introduction of polyester/cotton
workwear fabrics to Europe in the mid-1960s, and
has strengthened and developed over the years
as Klopman continues to work closely with Europe's
largest garment manufacturers and rental laundries.
This close involvement has
meant contact with virtually every sector of industry,
putting Klopman in a unique position to monitor
trends and analyse feedback from wearer trials
and end-users.
Today Klopman fabrics are
to be found in virtually all areas of the working
world in fact over 40 million working Europeans
wear garments made in Klopman fabrics.
Universally recognised for
the quality, performance, durability, consistency
and colour retention of their fabrics, Klopman
also has a well-deserved reputation for innovation
and has been responsible for many of the most
exciting developments in the world of workwear
fabrics.
Poly/cotton
fabrics
Klopman's poly/cotton
fabric range includes two of Europe's most
popular fabrics for men's and women's
workwear the choice of many organisations
for whom corporate identity and image projection
is a high priority.
Available in a range of
weights from 150gsm to 300gsm and both plain,
twill, panama and chambray weaves, in addition
to an extensive range of plain colours there is
also a choice of printed stripes and special finishes.
These fabrics combine a
longer working life with outstanding wearer protection
qualities. Garments retain their smart appearance
for far longer and they also offer the easy-care
versatility of being suitable for both domestic
washing and high temperature industrial laundering.
Cotton-rich
fabrics
Klopman's range of
cotton-rich fabrics more than meets the demands
of the widest range of garments, from heavy duty
workwear to image applications requiring softer
styling and drape.
Specifically developed as
an alternative to 100% cotton, they combine the
comfort and absorbency of cotton with the extra
durability and performance qualities of polyester.
Inherently tougher with
excellent tear and abrasion resistance even after
repeated industrial laundering, they do not suffer
from the high and inconsistent levels of shrinkage
which are so often a characteristic of 100% cotton.
Klopman's cotton-rich
fabrics are available in a range of weights from
150gsm to 365gsm, an extensive range of colours
and a variety of weaves including plain, twill,
striped twill, satin, panama and chambray.
Comfort
S-T-R-E-T-C-H fabrics
By utilising advanced fabric construction technology
Klopman has been able to produce Comfort S-T-R-E-T-C-H,
a unique range of
S-T-R-E-T-C-H-and-recover fabrics in both cotton-rich
and poly/cotton blends. These fabrics give garments
greater flexibility, are more comfortable for the
wearer and can withstand repeated industrial laundering.
Printline
printed fabrics
Klopman Printline range
of fabrics has comparable performance characteristics
to the best-selling polyester/cotton Superbandmaster.
The on-line range of striped
and abstract designs is available in a choice
of seven colours which co-ordinate with Klopman's
plain dyed fabrics. Special designs and colours
are also available, including a sampling service.

fabrics

market for a combination of prestige appearance,
improved comfort and stylish versatility, Klopman's

will not only stay looking good, they will feel
good too.
