Lululemon asked The S Group to create a cotton rich functional fabric with ultimate function and comfort. The project started with the innovation of a proprietary blend of the finest long staple Peruvian pima cotton with branded SeaCell fibers that are created from seaweed in Iceland and lycra. The S Group then derived a process to fiber dye the ingredients to have both solid and heather fabrications. Enter Vitasea – the ultimate comfort cotton rich fabric that bridges the gap between gym and street wear.

American Giant

The idea started with a broad brush stroke: Create the world’s best hoodie. After The S Group conducted an extensive study of over 50 brands, the decision was made that American Giant needed a fabrication that emulated the vintage collegiate fleece hoodies from the 50’s and 60’s. This classic heavy weight and durable fabrication was developed and incorporated into their signature hoody that has since expanded into an entire collection that is designed and developed in the USA.
