At Kentaur, choosing the right materials is essential to creating workwear that performs in demanding professional environments. Our requirements go beyond color and appearance. We focus on durability, comfort, and performance in industrial laundering.
Every material is carefully tested to ensure it meets our standards for quality, performance, and long-term use. This helps ensure that our workwear maintains its shape, color, and functionality over time.
Some materials stand out because of their innovative properties, circular potential, or the way they address social and environmental conditions in textile production. These are what we call Our Choice Materials.
How we choose materials
Material choice plays a key role in creating workwear that performs reliably in everyday professional use.
Before a material is included in our collection, it undergoes thorough testing to ensure it meets our requirements for durability, color fastness, and overall performance. Our workwear must maintain its shape, color, and functionality over time.
Because many of our products are used in environments where industrial laundering is standard practice, materials must also withstand frequent washing. We therefore test selected fabrics in collaboration with professional laundries to ensure they perform reliably within regular washing procedures.
Only materials that meet our requirements for quality, durability, and wash performance are used in our production.
Our Choice Materials
Some materials offer characteristics that make them particularly interesting in the development of future workwear. These may include innovative production methods, the use of recycled resources, or initiatives that address social and environmental conditions in textile production.
We group these materials under Our Choice Materials.
They represent materials that go beyond the conventional and reflect our approach to responsibility and continuous development.
No material is without impact. Selecting Our Choice Materials does not automatically guarantee a lower impact for the finished product. However, careful material selection is an important step in our ongoing effort to develop workwear designed to last.
The materials below are currently part of our Our Choice Materials selection.
