ENABLING ELASTIC TECHNOLOGIES

Stretch. Fit. Smart.

In partnership with the world’s largest producer of narrow width fabrics, we offer a collection of elasticated fabrics and elastomeric yarns. Engineered to achieve required stretch and durability, our portfolio of narrow width fabrics supports complex design parameters and construction needs.

Platform Features

Stretchability

Performance narrow width elastics with varied elasticity.

Coloration

Dyeing and printing techniques used to achieve color palette of choice.

Compression

Allowing gradient compression for stronger fit.

Precision knit

High accuracy fabric construction

OUR NARROW WIDTH APPLICATIONS

Narrow width fabrics are used across the board in our work at Moderncraft, from backing for conductive pathways to form fitting garments.

Consumer Technology + Healthcare

A backing substrate for fabric-based data transfer, used to build straps for next to skin wearables and biopotential monitors, and much more.

Performance

Integration with activewear to achieve compression, stretch and fit-to-form, as well as allowing for varied modulus across soft goods.

Workwear

Developing functional apparel and soft goods with tailored fit, breathability, and great hand-feel – optimized for both comfort and aesthetics.

Visibility

Next-to-skin LED-based lighting that provides on-demand illumination ensuring visibility and safety, now with RGB capabilities.

Thermal Regulation

Intelligent fabric-based thermal regulation, that can support a variety of functions ranging from microclimate regulation to pain management.

Sensing

Seamlessly integrated biopotential and biomechanical sensors that allow for the collection of metrics ranging from heart rate to motion.

Feedback

Haptics, TENS, and EMS integrated into soft goods for tactile feedback, notification, and chronic pain management.

Touch Textiles

Pressure-sensitive textile constructions used to create interactive interfaces, replacing the need for traditional plastic components.
