The iconic collection. Solid and fancy fabrics for Men's everyday outfit
A line of textiles bringing into knits Fortex's historic dressing concept. Its look is still having the usual masculine touch , never formal , but with a much better wearing comfort than a woven cloth.
A "Fortex-style" range of cotton fabrics , even more based on sport and leisure. Good value in the prices , but keeping the traditional italian standard of service and flexibility.
Not everyone knows that Fortex is producing textiles with recycled materials since 1963. And it does it transparently , taking absolute care of the environmental impact of its production cycle. As from many years it belongs to 4Sustainability , and duly respects ZDHC protocol and principles. The aim of this collection is to show how an industry can produce fashion textiles without destroying our planet.
Fortex was born in 1963 in Prato, with the idea of offering to the north-european brands a fusion of the rugs-recycling tradition with the italian fashion creativity.
In following decades other collections completed its range of products, like the jerseys of "Knit" and the cottons of "Cotton Lab", nowadays exported over 44 countries. Working from the beginning mainly with recycled materials, Fortex has gathered a huge knowhow in textiles. That's why its fabrics are beatiful and innovative, but even durable and eco-friendly.

Nowadays the enviroment is a really discussed topic. With the ingreasing news about the global pollution also grow the awarness that the enviroment can’t be cosidered an unlimited space and that the global resouces aren’t endless. For this reason we must try to improve wherever possible, in order to reverse this trend.
The TC (Textile-Clothing) sector costitutes a hugely important economic sector for Italy; it’s the third national manufactoring sector, thats count about 450.000 employees and over 50.000 active companies throughout the country, representing more or less the 10% of the VA (Value Added) of Italian manufacturing.
Nevertheless, still considering his primary role economically or maybe exactly because of this, textile has come under the spotlights regarding the sustainability question.
The textile productions, in most cases, use particularly impactfull process enviromentally speaking, especially regards the natural resource consumption (particularly water), electric energy consumption and the abundant use of chemicals. To be precise wet processes, like dyeing, printing and fixing, are those in which most water and chemicals are used.
