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.
