Fabric capability
Waterproof & Breathable Laminated Fabrics
Laminated fabric development for rainwear, outdoor shells and technical outerwear, with the construction and performance brief agreed before sampling.
Development directions
What we can develop
Start with a construction direction, then refine it around your garment. The fabric photographs are visual references; performance is agreed and evaluated for each project.
Two-layer construction
A practical shell and membrane direction reviewed with the garment use, handle and bonding requirements.
Request Development: Two-layer constructionLightweight layered shell
Layer combinations considered for packability, weather protection and the intended outerwear use.
Request Development: Lightweight layered shellBreathability-focused development
The balance between protection, moisture vapour movement and comfort is discussed at brief stage.
Request Development: Breathability-focused developmentBonding and durability
Adhesive, seam and durability priorities are reviewed with the construction and end use.
Request Development: Bonding and durabilityMaterial directions
- Woven shell bases
- Knit or stretch bases where suitable
- Membrane and film options reviewed by brief
- Lining combinations
Performance priorities
- Waterproofing priorities
- Breathability priorities

Fabric references for your brief
Real collection details show this capability and related fabric directions that can be considered together. They are starting points for development, not a stock catalogue or a guarantee of performance.
Face and reverse combination
Consider the face, reverse and overall handle together. Protection and durability requirements need a project-specific evaluation.
Discuss this development: Face and reverse combination
Checked woven surface
A fine checked surface provides a starting point for discussing structure, appearance and the intended shell or lining use.

Wavy diamond quilting
A stitched pattern reference for reviewing panel layout, appearance and the intended layer combination.

A clear development process
- Application
Define the garment and how it will be used.
- Construction
Review material, structure and reference direction.
- Performance
Agree finish and evaluation priorities.
- Development
Review sampling questions and next steps.
- Approval
Confirm the construction for your project.
Have a reference fabric or target specification?
Start with your application, construction and performance requirements. After reviewing the brief, we can arrange the appropriate way to exchange photos, swatches, specifications or technical files.
