Wool trends for new A/W Collection

In the outdoor area in particular, its high air-trapping capacity for windy days or the “wool-neutral” and therefore good citywear look are particularly popular.

Surge expected in citywear
“Wool blends particularly with a quite new selectively-deployed schoeller-PCM coating are promising for citywear or multifunctional use”, continues Christine Hübner-Dütschler.

"This technology innovation for winter jackets, coats and sports jackets, like the millimeter thick schoeller-PCM foam, actively regulates temperatures which are too high or too low, but is thinner and lighter and produces a less bulky silhouette.”

In practical application this means: in well-heated department stores the excess warmth is stored in the clothing. Outside in the cold, the stored heat is released again.

Function wool à la Schoeller
It has also been possible to achieve a significant performance enhancement with other finishing processes developed by Schoeller: Through the combination with the bionic
c_change membrane, 100% weather protection with flexible breathability is also added to the wool properties.

Wool with NanoSphere also achieved an extremely high level of water and dirt repellence and, thanks to a new silver ion-based finish, offers anti-microbial protection against bacteria of all kinds.
