Loro Piana System
Loro Piana have developed a new fabric bunch called ‘System’ which we received last year and finally some of the coats that have been commissioned by our clients have begun to arrive.
The fabrics within the bunch vary from waterproof cashmere to super 150’s wool / poly / silk blends.
This enables us to create a raincoat in a lightweight storm system fabric or a more classic overcoat but with the added benefit of actually being water resistant. The seams on the coat can be taped inside to make the coat even more water repellant.
Loro Piana's incessant research has led to the System Line: new generations of fabrics in which the exceptional qualities of natural fibers are emphasised and enhanced by exclusive treatments and by the application of high-performance membranes, to create technologically advanced garments. A perfect balance of style, comfort and functionality.
Designed to be used intensely, preserving over time the elegance and quality of Loro Piana style.
THE MEMBRANES
Loro Piana’s hydrophillic membranes, applied to the back of the fabric, are resistant to wind, water and rain, keeping an ideal body microclimate. These micro-molecular membranes are perfectly breathable, thin, and elastic, to guarantee comfort and maximum freedom of movement in any situation.
Realised in two or three layers, suitable for traditional clothing production, they can be heat-bonded, enabling to create seamless garments, perfectly adherent to the fabric for the highest performance results.
RAIN SYSTEM®
Water-Resistant Barrier
Rain System® is a water-repellent treatment that can be applied to the surface of all Loro Piana fabrics, invisibly coating each fibre.
Rain Resistant
Protection from dust, dirt and stains
Preserves the look of the fabric
STORM SYSTEM®
Water and Wind Resistant Breathable Hydrophilic Membrane Third Layer
Storm System® protects fabrics from natural elements, while ensuring the utmost comfort for the wearer. It is based on the Rain System® water-repellent finish, hydrophilic membranes which are waterproof, wind-resistant and breathable, and a third layer of ultra-fine jersey, placed over the GX membrane. Fabrics treated with Storm System® can be used unlined.
Wind and rain resistant
High breathability
Developed for unlined garments
GREEN STORM SYSTEM®
Water and Wind Resistant Bio-Based Breathable Hydrophilic Membrane
Green Storm System® is an eco-friendly treatment that protects fabrics from the elements safeguarding the environment. It is based on the Rain System® water-repellent finish combined with a BIO-BASED hydrophilic membrane made of a special polyurethane that contains more than 50% renewable, plant-based materials.
Wind and rain resistant
High breathability
Bio-based membrane
CLIMA SYSTEM®
Water and Wind Resistant Breathable Membrane with Graphene
Clima System® is an innovative system that delivers unparalleled thermal comfort. Fabrics crafted from the finest fibres are combined with a membrane containing graphene, the thinnest material in the world. When worn, this exceptionally durable, natural material captures the body's heat and distributes it throughout the garment, ensuring an optimum temperature in just five minutes.
Maintains a uniform, constant temperature
Distributes heat 8 times faster compared with other Loro Piana membranes and treatments
High Breathability, wind and rain resistant
