Supacore is a unique premium product, offering medical grade TGA approved graduated compression which is set to disrupt the sporting industry. It matters because: It improves the durability and lifetime of your product. Traditional methods for making clothing include what's known as "Cut and Sew". This means that pieces of flat fabric are measured, cut to size, and then sewn together by hand or by a machine (or a combination of both). This means an increased probability of product fault, both in the sizing of the product and for every seam where the flat pieces are joined together. It also means that over the time that you wear your clothing, the chances of both the product tearing and the compression forces throughout changing due to a weakening of the seams are increased - diminishing the effect and lifetime of your product. Compression garments are a combination of sportswear and fashion technology. Traditional cutting and sewing methods mean producing to a pattern, where there are numerous possibilities for errors in compressive forces with the measuring, cutting, and seam sewing of the garment. It matters because: It's better for the environment. Traditional "Cut and Sew" techniques involve outlining a deconstructed garment pattern to a flat piece of fabric, cutting out the pieces, and then sewing them together. Of course, no matter how great someone is at this fashion Tetris, there are a certain number of offcuts that are thrown away from the production of a garment. This might not sound like much, after all, those tiny scraps of fabric are so tiny, right? Well, think about it like this. If a pair of tights made in a cut and sew technique has approximately 125g of offcuts per garment, and 1000 pairs are produced... that's 125kg of waste. Seamless production means zero waste. Each product is made to exact specifications, removing the need for cutting, and removing the waste. Your choice in the products you purchase matters.
