ew for 2017 and Sol’s top pick for the year is the neoprene piqué

and padded nylon Volcano jacket (01644). The unisex Volcano is

part of the Sol’s Catwalk collection, which launched on 1 January,

2017 and contains fashionable products from T-shirts and polos to

sweatshirts, caps, bags and more. “A sense of fashion and ‘Designed in Paris’

are the key in this collection,” says Sol’s. “All the garments appeal to the retail

and fashion markets thanks to their attractive design, on-trend colours and

high-end positioning.”

The jacket has already received excellent feedback from Sol’s inter-

national distributors, confirms the brand. “What makes this jacket so

appealing is all the refined details that have been added into it. First, the

neoprene piqué and nylon fabric keeps you warm while being super

stylish. The fact that this jacket is made from two materials makes it

very trendy and modern. Also, the round neck with press studs gives

that cool American style which draws inspiration from teddy jackets. In

addition, the ribbed finishes with contrasted stripes at collar and cuffs

give a modern and contemporary style to this jacket.”

Neoprene piqué

The neoprene piqué in 320 gsm 65% polyester/30% viscose/5% elas-

tane is used in the back and sleeves, and is lightweight, thermo regulating,

breathable, and also very resistant. “Neoprene is actually a very new technical

fabric, which has been requested a lot by our customers,” Sol’s adds. “Technical

fabrics such as this one are very trendy at the moment.” The jacket also includes a

water-repellent topstitched padded nylon front body.

The use of two materials allows for the use of a

combination of decoration techniques, according

to the brand: transfer print, flex and embroidery

on the body and sleeves, and the sleeves

could also be screen printed.

The jacket is currently available in

charcoal melange/black and grey

melange/metal grey colour-

ways. Depending on sales, more

colours may be introduced, says

Sol’s, adding: “Maybe a French

navy or a nice denim would

be nice for this garment.” It is

aimed at the retail and fashion

markets, although it would be

equally at home in the corpo-

rate, schoolwear and collegewear

markets.
