American apparel component supplier, QST, has curated a collection of components to better serve the denim market. QST is present in more than 60 countries for sourcing, selling and manufacturing components for the apparel and denim markets, including pocketing, interlining, embroidery backings and more.
The collection is based on four traits of a fully-functional jean—comfort, flexibility, strength and reinforcement—and it includes time- and cost-efficient technologies made specifically for key jeans wear items.
Before launching the collection, the company did its homework to see where the industry was going and what trends were out there that could be improved, be it distressed denim, stretch denim, embroidery or coatings. The aim was to make sure these trends were complemented with components that enhanced the final product.
The denim industry is home to many legacy brands, but few endure decades—or centuries—without evolving their message and products. Innovations from the active wear category continue to influence and push denim brands to deliver more bang for the buck.
QST’s wick-tech pocketing is a non-absorbant pocketing that allows for a dry, comfortable wearing experience. Wick-tech ultrafuse for waistbands draws moisture away from the body. The high-tech polyester material allows moisture to easily evaporate.
