F/CE. rediscovered and reimagined Solotex.

SOLOTEX® is a functional fiber developed by Teijin Frontier, a trading company of textile manufacturers. Some people are familiar with the name, but may not know the detailed characteristics of SOLOTEX®. F/CE, which proposes functional fashion, has also adopted SOLOTEX® in its new products this season, but what exactly attracted you to it? We will take a closer look at the individuality of "Solotex," as well as the two designers' impressions of its charms.

Comfortable and expressive, pigment-dyed "Solotex".

The two members of FCE fell in love with the pigment-dyed "Solotex," which they created together.
Let's follow each of these fabrics one by one to see what kind of character they have.

1. Stretching

Solotex's unique spring-like, helical molecular structure allows the yarn to stretch and expand, a key feature. Unlike polyurethane, it slowly returns to its original shape. It does not constrict the body and fits naturally to the body, making it comfortable to wear. You will feel an ease of movement that you cannot feel with natural materials.

2. Easy Care

The yarn is also wrinkle resistant. While having excellent shape recovery properties, the yarn is interwoven with cotton to give the fabric a cotton feel. Stubborn wrinkles, such as creases, can be quickly eliminated with a steam iron. It is easy to care for, and it is a nice point that it does not easily lose its shape.

3. Sustainable

Polyurethane will deteriorate over time and stretch out due to repeated stretching, but SOLOTEX maintains its stretch effect even after a long time. Because it can be worn all the time, it also has a sustainable aspect. And some of the fibers are made from bio-derived raw materials, which also helps to reduce environmental impact.

4. Texture

Solotex" fibers themselves are soft and add a soft and fluffy texture to the fabric. SOLOTEX" dyes colorfully at low temperatures and does not damage the interwoven natural fiber side. Pigment dyeing and washing also allows the color to fade like that of old clothes. This dyeing technology is the result of the advanced technical capabilities of the spinning manufacturer "KURABO. The combination of the skills of domestic manufacturers has resulted in a unique texture.
