The Atlas socks are one of our signature products, that we launched in 2013. It features a combination of innovative yarns and advanced computerized knitting to create a comfortable sock that dissipates moisture and pressure and keeps odor at bay. Here’s behind the scenes on how we make them.
Read MoreTo commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo lunar landing, we thought it was only fitting to launch the Apollo shirt to the upper edges of stratosphere and try to capture an image of the darkness of space. Here’s how we did it.
Read MoreThese are the washing instructions that we design almost all of our garments to meet. Here’s the science of how washing clothes work, and the best way to get pesky stains out.
Read MoreThe Apollo tells the story of how NASA-grade technologies can make their way down to earth, and in the case of the Apollo 125,000+ shirts.
Here, we’ll explain how NASA continues to stimulate technological growth across multiple industries.
Read MoreWe’re debuting our latest offering, which gives the Solid, Heather and Oxford versions of the Apollo fabric a soft, cotton-like hand feel and a matte aesthetic.
Read MoreIn the hot and humid weather of Houston and Cape Canaveral, homes of Johnson and Kennedy Space Centers respectively, short-sleeves were the shirt of choice for flight controllers. Sans skinny ties and with a tidier arm, our Aero and Hybrid Short-Sleeves are an homage to this uniform, but brought into the modern day with three tweaks.
Read Morein addition to its phase change materials, the Apollo Dress Shirt has been optimized for maximum cooling power by using a novel fabric construction that increases airflow It uses a piqué knit fabric that has a honeycomb-like structure that provides coverage for the body, while letting air to meander through its channels. This is particularly useful during high-movement activities such as biking to work.
Read MoreBased in Taipei, Taiwan, Singtex is a pioneer in sustainable performance fabrics. We first worked together in 2013 to create our first pants, and we continue to draw inspiration from their vision for innovation from the fiber level, commitment to the environment, and involvement with their community.
Read MoreSeersucker is made by applying un-even tension during the weaving process of yarns going down the length or warp of the fabric. Different colored yarns were used to signify the high-tension and low-tension yarns, resulting in its signature striped aesthetic, and rippled texture.
Read MoreThe Kinetic fabric is one of our favorites, it’s moisture wicking, wrinkle resistant and incredibly stretchy and resilient. But stretch and resilience don’t always go hand-in-hand - we’re all all too familiar with t-shirts, chinos and jeans that stretch out and lose their shape after wear leaving baggy knees and an inconsistent fit from wear to wear. Here’s our innovative approach to creating a fabric with crisp structure, but with un-restricting stretch.
Read MoreFamily-owned, and our longest production partner (we’ve been working with them for 7 years), Blue Wave produces our most technical cut-and-sew products, including Apollo, Aero, Hybrid, Momentum, Juno, Composite, and Mercury.
Read MoreBio-based polyester is a new alternative to petroleum-derived polyester, and becomes a power means of carbon sequestration that is translated into wearable fabrics.
Read MoreCarbon dioxide, waterless dyeing circumvents the need for large amount of water use, boiling or filtration - but it requires some complex machinery. Fortunately, we’ve partnered with Singtex, a leader in clean dyeing procedures for performance fabrics and have been able to use this process in our Mercury, Dry Days and Responsive fabrics.
Read MoreThe science behind engineering breathability, and the heart of moving heat and moisture.
Read More“MoS is like a chef, mixing available ingredients and making something delicious”. Well we’ll take that analogy a little further to help understand some of the “raw ingredients” a little bit better and the chemistry behind them.
Read MoreWhile many of us may be familiar with the concept of Melting Points the temperature at which a material switches between solid and liquid phases (e.g. butter melting), an interesting phenomenon of polymers is a characteristic called Glass Transition Temperature.
Read MoreFounded in 1962, MIT’s Human Systems Laboratory conducts a wide range of research focused on improving environments and equipment for Human Spaceflight.
