A neck gaiter (AKA snood, tube-scarf) that can be used in a multitude of ways: neck warmer, face cover, sun protection, hat, cuff, pillow case... Made from a high quality stretchy knit with seamless construction for comfort. a perforation pattern is engineered directly into the knit, for the option of wearing directly over ones face while maintaining visibility and ventilation. The engineered warp knit seamless construction allows for a finished item to come straight out of the machine. Perforations go all the way around, can be worn in different ways, different weight, different fabric. Due to the nature of the warp knit, the end of the Warp Gaiter can be cut raw, which also adds to the simplicity and comfort.
PLEASE NOTE: This garment has undergone a small-batch, locally produced dye process to achieve its unique, uneven, weathered patina over time. Color may fade or transfer through wear and washing, even after multiple washes. Dye transfer may stain lighter-colored clothing and other surfaces. Wear with similar or darker colors and wash separately in cold water. Color variation and dye transfer are characteristics of this dye process.
When it comes to performance apparel, seams are the enemy. They are heavy, create areas of weakness and can be uncomfortable on the skin. With WKSTM we create seamless garments that fi t naturally to the body. In one single piece, knitted structures transitions support body natural movement and help regulate temperature, each zone having its own functionality. In addition, warp knitting reduces the weight of the garment because edges don’t require additional finishing.
With the WKSTM technology it is possible to create not only several types of tubular formed knitting, but also to devise simultaneously various design structures on the tubular. The design of the mesh holes that map directly to the heat zones of the body, provide breathability and cooling where needed the most.
Complete garment knitting offers a variety of benefits in technical aspects as well as in the market demands. For benefits to the market, quick-response production and just-in-time production are possible.
Mass customization is the use of technology and management methods to offer product variety and customization through flexibility and quick response. Computer based piezo - jacquard system, design and know-how are the keys of the success of this knitting manufacturing technology.
