What is my size?

When consulting the size chart please use your chest measurement, natural waist measurement and hip measurement. These have no relationship to a bra size, pant size, shirt or jacket size. Please have someone help you take your measurements accurately.

A bust or chest measurement should be taken over the nipples, parallel to the floor. Please have your arms down at your sides and be looking forward.

A natural waist measurement is taken at the narrowest part of your waist, somewhere between the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hip bones.

A hip measurement is taken at the fullest part of your hips, either at the round part of your rear or at the round part of the hip depending on your body type. Please take this measurement in a few places and provide the largest measurement.

Don't forget to check your height!

What is Darlex?

Darlex is a three-layer material made up of two layers of spandex bonded together with a layer of synthetic rubber between. This fabric is hypoallergenic, and machine washable. Darlex resists wind and water, though our items are not waterproof. To keep it at it's best, air dry. Heat breaks down the bond between the layers.

Our PVC

The PVC fabric that we use contains no poly vinyl chloride (PVC), but is a polyurethane coating on a spandex fabric base. The quality of PVC fabric varies substantially based on source and manufacturer. We currently carry a number of different colors and qualities. Our black and red are the highest quality fashion PVC fabric available in the world, custom manufactured for our factory and have an excellent four-way stretch along with a coating that is more resistant to delamination.

PVC sometimes is advertised and sold under the name "faux latex" due to its high shine factor, but unlike latex, PVC is machine washable and never needs polishing to achieve a shine. To keep your pvc at it's best air dry only. Heat breaks down the bond between the coating and spandex. Wash your items as soon as possible after wearing them. Sweat breaks down the bond between the coating and the spandex. 

WARNING: PVC will pick up stains from other colors of PVC as well as some plastics, synthectic materials, leahter, ETM. Please store your items carefully.

Our Zippers

We use only genuine YKK zippers and zipper parts. YKK has been long recognized as the world leader in zipper quality, and we use heavier than average zippers for our garments so that they will be long lasting and will stay in your collection for a very long time.

Our Thread

We use only heavy duty genuine made in the USA Coats and Clark thread for our garment construction. This thread is flexible and hard to break, which makes it perfect for stretch fabrics. Our seams are made to be strong and long lasting, which is why we use four thread sergers instead of the industry standard three thread, this gives our garments extra strength and durability, as well as the flexibility to move with fabric as it stretches.
