New book entry
October 1st 2004

Arco is reinforcing its workwear range with the addition of garments from the Swedish brand Snickers.

These will be featured in the company’s new ‘big red book’ and comprise jackets, trousers, tool vests and a one-piece holster. Two types of fabric are available to suit different industry requirements.

Cotton Polyamide is a highly durable, yet comfortable fabric. The shiny, impregnated surface offers good resistance to moisture, oil and dirt. It keeps its shape well and is easy to care for. It is intended for those working in an environment where clothing is liable to suffer from heavy abrasion and dirt.

Cotton Canvas Plus (with Cordura reinforcements) has the feel of cotton.

Comfortable to wear, it is said to be twice as durable as pure cotton. With Cordura reinforcements on the knees, pockets and sleeves, garments in the fabric will maintain their shape and it offers resistance to water and wind. It is designed for heavy duty use.
