This may have already been discussed on the list, as it's not really all
that new...

But the weekend's coverage of the Moto GP brought it to the fore in my mind
anyway... and we had been talking about it last week in class - the use of
Kevlar in clothing.

The ranges of jeans by Sartso and Draggin are impressive, the need for
design and the use of technological advancements in materials... teamed up
with the very graphic TAC "degloving" "what's between you and the road"
series of bike ads

There are actually heaps of cool vids on YouTube related (and some not so
related) to the development of Kevlar in jeans. Many work shirts in industry
(high vis/fluoro ones) have Kevlar in the sleeves to protect from abrasions
and slicing. Interesting developments with the use in fashion streetwear in
London

 

Also interesting was the development of materials and design of boardshorts
sturdy enough to wear on the worksite, as well as be casual and light. I
hope it's ok, I attached a copy of the article J

Cheers
