New York-based fashion label Outlier elevates staple pieces with innovative fabric materials and its latest project includes items crafted by 'Ultra Ultra' fabric. This extremely lightweight fabric is woven by Schoeller in Switzerland with four-way stretch, clean structures, and durable nylon enhancements. The Ultra Ultra fabric also has a three-dimensional inner face, reducing skin contact to make it feel as though there is nothing there when worn. Additionally, the Nanosphere treatment techniques are implemented to maintain the fabric's cleanliness and dryness.
The offerings in this new Outliers collection features simple silhouettes such as jackets and track pants. The versatile zipper details include two-way front zippers and three-way side zippers. The pants are held up by a Smuggler's waistband with four-way stretch. The revolutionized Ultra Ultra pieces are available for purchase online starting March 6.
