Sunny Textiles: Outdoor-friendly fabrics from Fil Doux Textiles

Textile company Fil Doux Textiles is expanding into the outdoor segment with the debut of a 16-pattern, 19-color textile collection. The collection, which is developed and manufactured through the company’s vertically integrated mills, is an extension of Fil Doux's existing product portfolio. The two materials offered, solution-dyed acrylic and solution-dyed polyester, are resistant to ultraviolet rays and water and are equipped to endure a variety of environments. The line features classic patterns like Ribbon Outdoor and graphic designs like Hunter Outdoor. The fabrics have a four- to six-week lead time. 

All of Fil Doux Textiles’ products, including the outdoor line, are produced using sustainable practices. Fil Doux Textiles’ mills are fully operable on solar and wind power, dye waters for fabrics are reclaimed and reused, and leftover fabrics are repurposed for packaging. In the spirit of environmental sustainability, Fil Doux has partnered with 501(c) One Tree Planted with a pledge to donate 1,000 trees to Brazilian rainforests for every 1,000 yards of Otratex purchased.
