We plan to do a campaign survey with BackerKit® one month after the campaign ends. Here is where you will have to select design, colour and size of your shirt together with other rewards.

We use two basic fabrics in this collection; a woven flat type (74% Cotton. - 20% PES Coolmax®.- 6% Lycra®, mainly for business shirts, our Ref. 500), and an Oxford-type fabric (54% Cotton.- 42% PES Coolmax®.- 4% Lycra®, mainly for casual shirts, our Ref. 805). You will be able to select which kind of fabric you want in the survey after the campaign ends. These fabrics, though they have different appearances, touch and composition, they have the same laboratory-tested technical results. Style & Tech has minimum requirements that both meet equally, for example both have certificates with UPF 50 +, Ret <3.1m2Pa/W (for calculating perspiration capacities), etc., among other multiple parameters. They are suitable for use throughout the year.

AMERICAN sizes are like Slim Fit (Regent) and Regular fit (Madison) from Brooks Brothers®. EUROPEAN sizes are like JH® brand. You will be able to adjust sleeve length and total length during campaign survey, with four different fits and 28 sizes. We are sure there will not be any problem here.

Yes, our technology is in the fabric, in the threads. All needed fit adaptations will be possible once the final survey is completed, if the design of the shirt doesn’t get compromised.

Last updated: November 21, 2017 04:01

If you ordered a shirt without any special length, changing the size is possible. We have 4 fits and 28 sizes, so if you are careful when ordering the shirt, there will not be any problem. In case changing the size is possible, after we get back the shirt, we will send you a new shirt with the new selected size. Obviously, all products must be returned in unused/unworn condition. We do not provide free shipping for returning items. Returning items should be sent to our warehouse in Spain at your own cost. Shipping costs for the new shirt will be the same that in Kickstarter campaign.

The technology we use is of Spanish, Swiss and American origin. It has been widely tested and used, normally in police corps, sanitary, sportswear and mountain wear sectors. What we are really doing is transferring technology that is 100% tested and efficient in other sectors to the fashion sector, providing tradition and the know-how-to-do of four generations who have spent their working lives in the textile world.

Because we understand that in the car world, each launch comes with a multitude of features we identify ourselves with, such as: increased technological capabilities, constant revolution towards greater sustainability, greater awareness of the environment, clean energy, gigantic doses of design and creativity, an emotional component in the purchasing process, a personal brand reflected in the choice made…

The shirt is the essence of menswear, and all men must have at least a couple of white shirts in his wardrobe, one casual and one dress shirt. These two white shirts are the paradigm of sustainable fashion, they should last over time, they do not go out of fashion. Our goal is that every man, when choosing at least two white shirts, which he should have at the back of his wardrobe, representatives of the concept of sustainable fashion, bears us in mind as a model. The decision to launch this “White Collection” as a statement of intent has a very practical side effect: to certify all the technical features of our fabrics in a laboratory is a slow and expensive process, quality is much more controllable, and we can be much more demanding, taking care not to expand our range too much in terms of weaving.

Sweating is produced via two types of sweat glands, apocrine glands and eccrine glands. Each gland produces a different kind of sweat and both kinds of sweat are in themselves odour-free. The odour occurs when a type of bacteria that lives naturally in our skin feeds on the sweat, the antibacterial applied to Style & Tech clothing prevents such bacteria from reproducing and thus the unpleasant smell that we associate with the sweat from arising.

Our garments are treated with an antibacterial finish developed by Sanitizet® and use CoolMax® technology for the rapid removal of sweat, a combination that causes our garments to not retain any body odour and can be used continuously without odours that impregnate them and a feeling of constant freshness.

CoolMax® is a special polyester yarn by INVISTA, which is unique in the world, designed with a special section to expand the sweat and allow it quickly and efficiently to evaporate. Our garments are certified by our fabrics manufacturer and in the laboratory as CoolMax Core®, which offers the following advantages: • High consistency and durability in the fabric’s performance. • Easy care. • Fast drying. • Good performance in breathability and moisture management. • Good air permeability. • Good fabric stability. • Good management and performance in the treatment of moisture and sweat permanently throughout the life of the product. • Washing machine- and detergent-resistant fabric.

The two fabric bases that make up the “White Collection” along with all the fabrics that we are currently developing are based on a cotton base, CoolMax® polyester and INVISTA Lycra® spandex. The percentage of elastane can vary but the result will always be a comfortable and elastic garment. The use of Lycra® fibre guarantees exceptional elasticity with a very careful memory effect and its elastic qualities maintained wash after wash.

All our shirts are made of fabrics that have been laboratory tested by the Aitex Textile Research Institute to determine the ultraviolet protection factor, and our minimum requirement is to obtain a UPF of 50 according to AS/NZS 4399:1996. The ability of the fabric to prevent the passage of ultraviolet radiation and the UPF 50+ is the greatest possible capacity reached in a lab. A 97.5% protection against UVA and UVB radiation in a sustained manner and throughout the life of the garment.

The use of CoolMax® spinning in our garments has an extremely practical and beneficial side effect. The same technology that removes sweat and keeps us dry, quickly dries our clothes rapidly without the need to use a dryer (which on is not recommended anyway). We take the garment from the washing machine, put it on a clothes hanger, and before we know it the garment will be completely dry.

In the result of evolution and adaptation to nature, human beings can regulate their body temperature, even if there is a big difference between their bodies and the external temperature. Anybody is comfortable when there’s a balance among production, release and uptake of heat. The human body activates different physiological thermoregulatory mechanisms when it is not in thermal equilibrium. When we are in a warm climate or exert ourselves physically, our body temperature rises, and the body activates mechanisms to try to increase heat loss; these mechanisms include increasing blood flow to facilitate heat exchange and cool the skin. Sweat comes from vaporising water from the organism that emerges through pores in the skin. Depending on the activity we are doing, we consume oxygen, and the more oxygen we consume, the greater the heat load we generate. This brief introduction is intended to help you understand that any item of clothing will in general be more comfortable the less metabolic effort its user must make to reach thermal equilibrium. Water has a high specific heat capacity. To evaporate water in the form of sweat significant amounts of body heat are consumed, clothing must encourage this process by properly removing that water (sweat), to prevent the body from unnecessarily consuming more energy. The correct diffusion of water in contact with the skin and clothing through clothing with good breathability prevents sweat from condensing on the skin. The CoolMax® spinning fabrics favour this perspiration. Measurement of said perspiration can be done using variables Rct which indicate thermal resistance (the greater a fabric’s Rct, the greater its thermal insulation) and resistance to water vapour which is symbolised as Ret (a low Ret coefficient means great breathability since the fabric does not oppose resistance to diffusion of the water vapour, sweat). These coefficients are measured in the laboratory, and we have our fabrics tested with a Ret in all cases <;3.1m2Pa/W, which means an extremely high breathability. The water vapour permeability index is proportional to the ratio between Rct and Ret and in all the laboratory tests they have given us spectacular results in terms of the ability of our garments to expel said water vapour, sweat, to the exterior, helping us to achieve our thermal balance and a feeling of comfort and freshness unmatched in high temperature climates and situations requiring effort.

The human body activates different thermoregulatory physiological mechanisms when it is not in thermal equilibrium, among them sweat. The effort that our body makes to release water in the form of sweat consumes energy (energy consumption that is associated with our thermal sensation of heat). Our clothes, helping the dissipation and evaporation of the sweat that we release, thus help the body to consume less energy, less energy transformed into heat while we sweat compared to a normal garment, which makes us fresher in extreme temperatures.
UPF 50 + protection against UVA and UVB radiation, UVB, besides from protecting us against the harmful effects of such radiation, causes us to absorb less heat when we are exposed to the sun, which no doubt also helps us to enjoy a greater sense of freshness. The structure of the fabric used by Style & Tech in your clothes (bearing in mind they are classic shirting fabrics) stores a little more air among its fibres, since air has a greater specific heat capacity, it makes the cooling process slower and provides us with a lightweight thermal barrier in cooler climates, effectively combining an overall thermoregulatory effect but with much greater effectiveness in hot climates.

Style & Tech is sustainable fashion for various reasons.

The fabric we use, which is treated with Sanitized®, can be washed less frequently, allowing you to save on water, electricity and detergent.

We adhere to the Ecoembes packaging management system, promoting and managing to make it possible for all the containers we generate to be recycled and have a second life.

All materials used in the making of our garments (buttons, labels, interlinings, etc.), fulfil the OEKO - TEX® certification. OEKO - TEX® is an independent system of testing and verification that is homogeneous throughout the world.

• It certifies compliance with all legal regulations regarding the production processes for textiles. • It certifies the absence of chemical substances that may be harmful to health, even if they are not yet regulated by legislation. • It requires compliance with national requirements such as the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regarding lead.

We seek to market what is known as “Slow Fashion” in contrast with “Fast Fashion”. This collection, our ‘White Collection’, as an example of our overall philosophy, promotes a philosophy of responsible consumption.

• Our materials are environmentally friendly with certified processes. • We seek the sustainability of the industry through products of the highest quality. • We manufacture slow-moving and long-lasting garments, clothes that will last several campaigns and which the consumer does not get tired of it at the end of a season. • We manufacture locally, both the fabric and the finished garment.

The fabric we use is certified by Bluesign®. An independent certification that guarantees the efficiency and sustainability of the fabric production process, from the beginning of its manufacture to the end, making sure that no harmful chemical substance is used. The Bluesign® system is based on five principles:

• Efficiency in the use of the raw materials and components used. • Consumer safety. • Water release. • Air release. • Health and safety at work.

It is important to know where the goods that you consume are produced. Spain has a huge and rich textile tradition, both industrial and cultural, of which we are proud, but what really matters is that you can choose, having all the information, to know what you are buying, and to know which rules govern the manufacturer that is chosen to consume any given product. We are proud to belong to the Confederación de ModaEspaña, which certifies that all our production processes are carried out in Spain, that we respect and support the compliance with the ETHICAL STANDARDS, as set out in the United Nations Global Compact. All our items have a label manufactured by the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (the Royal Mint), unique numbered tags that authenticate and differentiate our garments individually, certifying that they are “Made in Spain”.

A brand is a sign, a footprint, what is remembered when we are no longer present. In the competitive and complex world that surrounds us, it is essential to look after the concept of personal branding; we should try as far as possible to prepare, protect and transmit an appropriate image to the people around us, we must try to differentiate ourselves to be able to excel in such a competitive and changing environment, we must build a positive image. Style & Tech helps look after the personal branding we project. Style & Tech helps project our personal brand actively and passively. We actively provide elegance. We provide technology that prevents us from arriving at a meeting soaked in sweat or with a strong body odour after hours of travel. We offer the ideal shirt design for every man for every occasion, etc. We passively identify with responsible consumption, with a taste for the practical, with a commitment to sustainability while being up-to-date with the latest technologies…

To reach the end of a day with an odour-free shirt, shirt that is dry of body moisture, to hang it on a hanger, and use it the next morning as if it were newly out of the washing machine, that’s the freshness effect. To be working all day, to sweat and to notice your clothes rapidly removing the sweat and you’re dry, that’s what we call freshness effect.
