Burlington recently introduced Raeflex™ by Raeford, an advanced performance fabric tailored for public safety professionals. Raeflex by Raeford stands out as an innovative fabric, seamlessly blending heightened stretch capabilities with a durable, premium merino wool fabric to enhance comfort and overall performance.
Guy Lucas, Vice President of the First Responders Division, expressed the game-changing nature of Raeflex fabric for public safety professionals. He highlighted the focus on achieving elevated levels of comfort and stretch while maintaining the professional look associated with wearing a uniform.
Unlike traditional police uniform fabrics that typically rely on mechanical stretch or Spandex stretch, Burlington’s Raeflex fabric introduces a groundbreaking element with its patent-pending polyester/worsted wool stretch yarn technology, known as PSR (Performance Stretch & Recovery). Developed exclusively by Burlington Raeford, this proprietary yarn technology represents a fusion of fabric engineering and innovation. Raeflex uniform fabric offers exceptional stretch of up to 25%, allowing unrestricted movement, and unparalleled recovery to retain its original form wash after wash.
Building on its legacy of excellence, Burlington Raeford combines cutting-edge advancements to create a fabric that integrates the finest worsted-spun merino wool with remarkable stretch and recovery capabilities, breathability, durability, and wearer comfort.
Manufactured by Burlington Raeford, Raeflex fabric reflects Burlington’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its longstanding leadership in wool textile manufacturing. Public safety officers now benefit from Raeflex by Raeford, experiencing both presence and performance in their uniforms.
