Global workwear textiles manufacturer Carrington Textiles has announced the launch of 12 new fabrics at A+A in Düsseldorf this November. With 75% of the new range featuring stretch technology, eight products incorporating sustainable fibres and four delivering flame retardant protection, the company is reinforcing its drive to raise comfort and performance standards across workwear.
With a campaign called Stretch the Standard, Carrington Textiles is aiming to highlight the benefits of stretch without compromise. Supported by a new film combining high-energy visuals with a female model fronting the concept in a hard-wearing garment, the production highlights Carrington Textiles’ effort to represent today’s diverse workforce while presenting the fabrics’ core qualities of durability, flexibility, flame retardancy and sustainability.
The collection spans from lightweight 170gsm solutions such as Michigan and Rivington to midweight fabrics like Denver at 210gsm, offering comfort and durability in everyday workwear.
At the heavier end, Flamemaster 365 Eco at 365gsm provides robust protection with recycled polyester content. Other protective developments include Flametougher 240AS Flex and 290AS Flex, both incorporating XLANCE® stretch fibre alongside flame retardancy and antistatic properties. In a major first for the industry, Flametougher 290AS Flex was tested in stretched condition by the independent, accredited testing laboratory STFI in Germany, proving that FR protection can be maintained under tension. Flameflex300AS has also been engineered to combine mobility with flame retardant performance.
Sustainability and advanced stretch are central to the rest of the line. Circularis 245 is produced using chemically recycled polyester from textile waste. Marano delivers four-way stretch powered by LYCRA® T400® EcoMade fibre for long-lasting flexibility, while Varano, Grasmere and Grizedale achieve sustainable comfort through blends with bio-based stretch polyester.
This year’s stand has been designed with visitors in mind, spanning 150sqm across two floors with dedicated display areas, garment presentations and relaxed meeting spaces. Carrington Textiles’ redesigned product guides will also be officially launched at the show.
Paul Farrell, Sales Director at Carrington Textiles, said:“A+A is the most important platform for our industry. It gives us the opportunity to show how we are stretching the standard in workwear textiles by introducing fabrics that combine durability, comfort and sustainability with the high performance customers expect from us.”
