Buy Softshell Melange

Softshell Melange is a strong, slightly stretchy outer fabric with a subtle mixed look and a splash-proof finish. The outside of this softshell offers protection against wind and light rain, while the fleece-like inside guarantees warmth and wearing comfort. Thanks to the combination of 95% polyester and 5% elastane, the fabric retains its shape and fit, even after frequent wearing and washing.

Processing and tips

To process Softshell Melange, use a universal needle or a microtex needle (80/12) and sharp textile scissors. Sew seams with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch to maintain elasticity. For double layers (such as hoods or linings), you can temporarily use fabric glue to keep parts in place while stitching. Avoid wide presser feet to avoid crushing the surface.
