Quality and
INNOVATION

To practice your profession on a daily basis, you need clothing that ensures safety, durability, and comfort. That’s why Rica Lewis Workwear garments have been designed and manufactured with these qualities in mind. Here we present our main fabrics, brands, and textile guarantees.

Our high value-added technical fabrics:

Fibreflex®

A registered trademark owned by RICA LEVY International. This is a stretch fabric characterized by its elasticity, as it is made from elastic core-spun yarns combined with other non-elastic fibers, such as cotton or polyester, to increase durability. It is a fabric that is both very comfortable and resistant to deformation and creasing.

Cordura®

A registered trademark owned by the American company Invista. It is a polyamide (Nylon) synthetic fiber weave which, when blended with other fibers, results in a fabric highly resistant to abrasions, tears, and punctures, while remaining lightweight and breathable. Cordura® is, for example, 2 to 4 times more resistant than polyester and up to 20 times more resistant than cotton.

Coolmax®

A registered trademark owned by the American company Invista. This technical fabric has been designed to promote maximum breathability. Multichannel polyester fibers are used: they allow moisture to be transported from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it dries quickly and regulates body temperature through evaporative cooling.

Thermolite®

A registered trademark owned by the American company Invista. This technical fabric is designed to provide the best thermal insulation while maintaining lightness and breathability. The fabric is made of hollow polyester fibers. Thus, Thermolite® preserves body temperature and keeps the skin dry, preventing the feeling of cold caused by excessive moisture.

Our premium threads and zippers

YKK

YKK Corp. (formerly Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha). Behind this acronym stands the Japanese company that manufactures the most prestigious zippers. The use of cutting-edge technologies ensures both product excellence and environmental protection.

Coats

The world’s largest manufacturer of industrial threads, based in the United Kingdom. Its Coats Dual Duty thread is a high-quality thread that combines a high-strength polyester filament core with a cotton wrap. This composition ensures excellent strength and durability (polyester) as well as superior sewing performance (cotton).

Our commitment

Coton Bio

Oeko-Tex is a quality label comprising several technical standards, aimed at certifying the sanitary and ecological qualities of textiles and leather, by guaranteeing the absence of toxic substances for the body and for the environment.
