CORDURA® WORKWEAR

Reinforced where it counts

CORDURA®

A close-up of dark, textured fabric with visible woven patterns and slight folds, creating a subtle play of light and shadow across the surface.

BUILT TO TAKE A BEATING

Tough yet flexible, CORDURA® is seven times more abrasion-resistant than cotton, making it a perfect reinforcement for high-stress areas like knees. Its specially woven, water repellant polyamide fibers deliver exceptional durability while remaining soft and comfortable to the touch.

LIGHTWEIGHT STRENGTH

Rugged performance without the weight and bulk of traditional heavy-duty fabrics.

CORDURA® NYCO

DURABLE, COMFORTABLE, COMBAT-TESTED

Originally developed for military use, CORDURA® NYCO blends high cotton content with T420 nylon 6.6 for best-in-class abrasion and tear resistance — lightweight, breathable, and natural to the touch.

Performance stretch fibers in CORDURA® NYCO provide ample flexibility to the already ultra-tough fabric.
