Fabric Engineering

A double-knit construction where two layers of fabric are locked together face-to-face. The result is a textile with no visible reverse side — both surfaces are smooth, dense, and identical. This is why our polos and tees have structural weight without bulk. In the Ozone collection, this same interlock is surface-aged with ozone gas to produce a denim-effect patina — zero water, zero chemical discharge.

A 3-thread construction where diagonal loops on the inner face create natural insulation without brushing. Traditional fleece is brushed to create warmth — but brushing weakens the yarn and causes pilling over time. Our unbrushed diagonal knit achieves the same warmth without ever touching a brush. Scaled from 480gsm for sweatshirts to 540gsm for overshirts. In the Ozone collection, the same construction gains vintage character through ozone chamber treatment.

Lyocell fibers blended with cotton and Lycra for a next-to-skin softness and stretch that doesn't degrade after washing. Lyocell's closed-loop production process uses 10–20x less water than conventional cotton processing.

Four constructions engineered for movement. Quick-dry polyamide-cotton jersey for tees (200gsm). Performance piqué with DWR coating for polos (260gsm). Wind-resistant bonded jersey for outerwear (320gsm). Anti-pill fleece with articulated paneling for joggers (280gsm). Every Onyx fabric receives DWR (durable water repellent) treatment and is built for 4-way stretch.

American-grown Supima cotton, compact-spun to eliminate surface fiber and maximize luster. For tees, 220gsm compact-spun Supima creates a luminous, almost pearlescent surface. For polos, the yarn is double-mercerized — two passes under tension through alkaline baths — producing a silk-like sheen that standard mercerization cannot achieve. The 300gsm piqué weighs nearly double a typical polo fabric.

Milano stitch creates a surface that reads as woven but moves as knit — the flat, architectural face of a tailored jacket with the drape of fine knitwear. For trousers, a double-face construction presents a suiting-quality exterior while the interior is an entirely different, softer knit. Both use merino-Pima blends for dimensional stability that dry cleaning can't improve upon.

Four construction methods, one principle: build from the fiber up. 2-ply cashmere-Pima for polos — each ply individually spun then twisted for density (380gsm). Double-faced cashmere-merino for overshirts — two distinct surfaces bonded at edge-bound seams (520gsm). Cashmere-silk-cotton tri-blend for knitwear — fully-fashioned on whole-garment machines. Prestige scuba for trousers — a self-holding knit that drapes like suiting without lining (400gsm).
