Research and Development
We really want our designs to do what we need them to do for skaters, officials and teams. We believe that with thorough research, testing and listening to skaters we can produce durable and comfortable skatewear.
Fabric Testing
We tested a number of fabrics to pick the best one for roller derby specifically. Testing and considerations include -
-
velcro resistance
-
stretch
-
return to shape
-
thickness of fabric
-
resistance to greying
Pattern
Development
We have listened to feedback and are designing specifically for the roller derby community. We have added pattern features and are sizing our patterns differently to optimise out uniforms for derby skaters.
Sewing Techniques
Flatlock
Seams
We have done a lot of research into the strength and stretchiness of our seams. We have invested in a flatlock machine to create strong and comfortable seams.
