The Fabrications We Use: Prioritizing Sustainable, High-Performance, and Protective Materials

Our commitment to apparel innovation at L. MILLER goes beyond mere aesthetic appeal to emphasize sustainability, functionality, and protection. Central to our mission is the use of a diverse array of high-performance textiles and unconventional sustainable materials. We have adopted unique materials like bamboo and cactus fibers, both known for their low environmental footprints, making them ideal for reducing environmental impact in line with our sustainability goals.

In terms of performance, we employ DWR laminations and solution-dyed fabrics to ensure our garments are waterproof, comfortable, and durable. A critical aspect of our weatherproof apparel is the precision-sealed waterproof seams. Our approach to waterproof taping and seam sealing effectively prevents water ingress along stitch lines. Additionally, laminating technology bonds polyurethane waterproof membranes directly to fabrics, creating a robust barrier that not only repels water but also allows for the escape of internal moisture vapor, ensuring wearers remain dry both inside and out. Addressing modern needs, our collection includes EMF block textiles designed to protect against less visible threats such as electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). These textiles function as modern-day Faraday cages, using conductive fibers like copper, nickel, and silver to deflect and absorb electromagnetic radiation effectively. With an attenuation rate of 40dB to 50dB, our fabrics can block up to 99.9% of harmful radio frequency radiation. We strategically integrate these protective textiles into areas of our designs, such as pocket linings and jacket interiors, to enhance everyday functionality, decrease radiation exposure, and provide peace of mind.
