Experiment 300 - Ultrasuede Overshirt
An extra thick Ultrasuede experiment. A simple raw cut, one-pocket overshirt with low profile snaps, done using the jacked up, 375gsm Ultrasuede HP, an automotive grade take on the crown jewel of synthetic fibers. Soft, elegant and easy-to-clean with a secret industrial strength.
FABRIC
ULTRASUEDE HP
Nonwoven 65% ultra microfiber polyester, 35% non-fibrous polyurethane
The original ultramicrofiber non-woven fabric and still the best. Invented in the early 1970's by Toray in Japan, Ultrasuede is made with polyester microfibers that are so extraordinarily fine that a single gram of fiber stretches over 900km. These fibers are combined with polyurethane foam via a complex process reminiscent of needle punching to create a synthetic suede that is actually dramatically better for most purposes than the original. The resulting fabric is both extremely soft and easy to care for yet as tough as leather. The nonwoven structure is quite breathable but at the same time dense enough to block all light.
