MATERIAL LIKE KID LEATHER
A new material for 1966 fashion trends was introduced recently in London. The photograph shows a shirt made from it.
Called “Kidlux,” it has the supple handling qualities of soft kid leather, but does not scuff and has remarkable recovery properties in wear. Its main appeal is in its elasticity, sheen and smooth appearance. It is waterproof and can be sponged without losing its appearance or softness. The processing of the material is secret, but it is known to be a combination of a man-made material bonded to a knitted fabric. It will
: be produced in a wide range ' of colours and textures, int eluding the popular “ostrich • leather” look. British and Continental buy- ; ers have ordered thousands i of casual skirts, which will be ' followed by boleros and cas- ; ual jackets.
