Power Stretch / Merino Wool tights in asphalt or black. Soft and super comfortable.

This style looks and behaves much like PowerStretch, but with superior wool content. By isolating a merino wool interior and a synthetic fiber exterior Polartec® developed a hybrid fabric with distinct surface features to optimize wicking, breathability, odor resistance and durability. Wool’s natural odor fighting properties are given a boost, and the unpredictability of shrinking and shape loss caused from washing is prevented through the resilience of synthetics. Polartec® Power Wool™ adapts to such divergent conditions that it can excel during a wide variety of performance activities and diverse environmental conditions. it is ideal for shirts and aerobic wear.

Polartec Power Air jacket

A great company in Sweden called Houdini has a jacket made of Polartec Power Air called Mono Air Houdi. The jackets I make of this fabric, which are available as either lightweight or midweight, are quite similar and are less than half the price – $100. Lots of colors to choose from.

Theirs are $230 https://houdinisportswear.com/en-us/clothing/sweaters-hoodies/mens-mono-air-houdi-220714

12 years ago Patricia Ama and I shared Royal African Culture with Foxwear. What better way to express our love of diversity? Following are pictures of this adventure.

African clothes made here now in 2022 For sale at $60 each

A brief history of Ama’s Royal African Culture work in Salmon.

Upon getting USA citizenship 12 years ago, teaching W African cooking was great fun.

Idaho teachers heard Ama was living in our community and so she was invited to give these youngsters a glimpse of the world they couldn’t even imagine.

Next came using our industrial sewing machines for African styles using African fabric.

A few customers called after discovering us on the Internet.

We introduced Ama’s creations to people visiting fairs in Salmon Idaho and Western Montana. People needing diversity were overjoyed.

Here are some creations

We’ve been interested in these fabrics for a long time.
