Alea dedicates great attention, in its constant research work, to fabrics .
The results are the innovations brought by Alea to the world of men's shirts in Italy, with the presentation of new and original proposals, without ever neglecting the sartorial aspect and the attention to detail and the typically Italian style that have always distinguished it.
Particular attention was placed on organic fabrics and high-performance technical fabrics.
Organic fabrics represent Alea's great interest in the important topic of environmental sustainability, which is increasingly characterizing the production processes of the fashion world. One cannot remain indifferent, and in this Alea once again demonstrates its innovative imprint: the fibers used are obtained from organic farming processes, which guarantee a textile product obtained in compliance with careful environmental and social indications. All production phases, from the collection of natural fibers to the subsequent transformation phases, are involved and must follow strict protocols, which favor the saving of water, energy, the reduced use of chemical pesticides and complete traceability.
The results are 100% pure cotton , 100% pure linen or flannel fibres, in all their many variations.
Some of our fabrics ' colorations are also of biological origin . In the dyeing processes of the plain fabrics, pigments naturally present in the earth dyes have been used which, after being extracted and appropriately processed, allow us to obtain naturally vivid colors.
The use of these natural fibres, with a particular focus on organic and recycled cotton, allows us to offer a shirt, classic under a jacket or even more sporty, which continues to maintain the high quality and refinement of the fabrics used, such as single or double twisted yarns, despite their eco-sustainable origin.
In the sportier line, finishes more inherent to this type of product are used, which requires greater fabric resistance to better adapt to more dynamic everyday occasions. The technical fabrics, the result of bi-stretch technology, allow us to offer a product that can keep up with the new needs of the contemporary man. A shirt that can maintain high quality standards, without neglecting the most comfortable aspect.
The composition of the fabrics, characterised above all by polyamide and elastane fibres, allows us to offer a shirt that maintains its tailored cut unchanged, but which at the same time acquires all the characteristics typical of high-performance technical fabrics.
Alea manages to perfectly combine these two dimensions: thanks to the double twisted stretch fabrics , the classic shirt evolves, adapting perfectly to the body and guaranteeing unparalleled comfort and quality performance.
But it is in the most colorful and trendy lines that this type of fabric manages to express itself fully: prints, textures and patterns are enhanced in their colorful fantasies, increasingly sought-after and in line with the latest trends.
In fact, technical fabrics maintain their colours unaltered even after more than 10 washing cycles compared to traditional fibres, and are extremely easy to care for .
Thanks also to the wrinkle free treatment, they dry quickly and do not require ironing, also managing to offer a thermoregulating action on the skin, which allows the humidity produced by sweat to be released and protects from UV rays .
All this without sacrificing the elegance and style of a shirt, in a comfort version, which in this way confirms itself, even today, as the main item of clothing in the male wardrobe.
