| Fabrics Go Crazy Jumpsuits are constructed with quality fabrics from the major fabric
mills in the world. Terrie knows fabrics well through her education and
experience. Go Crazy refuses to scrimp on cheap fabrics. We utilize a variety of
fabrics to meet each individuals needs and expectations. Below are some of the
common fabrics we use. we continue to research the fabric suppliers for
new and innovative fabric options. |
|
| Supplex |
|
Supplex is specially engineered to
provide the soft feel of cotton with the strength, durability and
performance of nylon.
Supplex is as strong as it
is soft, resisting abrasions, punctures and tears. It’s breathable
and odor, wind, and water resistant.

| Spandex |
|
Good quality Spandex is hard to find.
And Go Crazy takes the effort to find the good stuff. A heavyweight 2 way
stretch spandex is used in our jumpsuits. (There is
no such thing as 4 way stretch in fabric, after all, stretching to the
left is the same as stretching to the right. And up stretch is the same as
down stretch. But if you still want to call it 4 way stretch, then go
ahead, we will understand anyway. Unless you found a way to stretch it
through time, then you should get hold of someone like Steven Hawking)

| Ripstop/Taffeta |

Light weight, slippery fabric, just what is
needed to help you increase your fall rate to keep up with the rocks on
the load. Must be lined for comfort. It is what Camera wings are made of.

| Cotton Canvas |
|
Heavy weight cotton duck, for
slow suits and FreeFly pairs. It is available pre dyed in some solid
colours, see the swatch card or call us.
If you want something special, we can start with 100
percent natural cotton canvas, then we custom colour dye or tie-dye it to
your choice of colours. Each suit becomes an individual, unique piece of
wearable, airworthy art. Not quite as tough as hemp, but still a very
durable suit

| Silk |
|
The original high tech fabric.
It is what parachutes were made of before nylon. Strong, light weight,
beautiful feel and fly ability. Can be obtained in many unique and
beautiful colours and designs. Terrie can use silk as a canvas to paint
images or patterns that you desire, then incorporates them into your own
custom jumpsuit. Amazing tie dye and batik patterns make for a truly
individual suit. Though not at tough as nylon, it is a luxurious fabric to
wear.

HEMP
 |
|
A mid-weight
soft canvas style fabric, natural colour is an off white with
a very slight greenish tint. Hemp is extremely strong and durable
(you should see what it does to our scissors
when we cut it). Hemp is ideal for creating
wild tie-dye and custom colour patterns. It is well worth the
slightly higher price. Probably the toughest fabric around. Owners
of our hemp suits ecstatically report that their hemp freefly
suits have the best balance of any suit they have used.
We have new sources for heavier and lighter
weight fabrics now, for even greater range and versatility. Hemp
doesn't wear out, it wears in, becoming softer and more
comfortable with each wash. Hemp breaths, helping you to stay
cool in warm weather.

and many other uses. Available in lots of colors.
