JOIN THE MOVEMENT L.Brador is all about movement. About adapting and developing workwear, focussing on the user's mobility. But L.Brador is also about adopting a position. About daring to go one's own way, challenging established patterns and prejudices. About being smart, brave and at the forefront. Including stretch material in workwear trousers, as L.Brador started doing already in 2012, really did break new ground. Now, a number of years later, we can see that other colleagues in the sector are starting to offer stretch solutions.
2
For the autumn season 2016 we are launching new products that really address mobility and challenge the market. The 9001P jacket with its unique material is one such example. Here we have combined the need for mobility which our users have, together with exceptional durability, protection against wind, cold and water combined with good breathability.
EVERY STEP COUNTS The four new shoe models follow the same pattern. With high levels of ambition concerning ergonomics and comfort in combination with durable materials we are now able to offer some of the foremost products in the field of protective footwear. This applies regardless of whether it concerns industrial workers that are indoors, or craftsmen working outdoors. Read more about this autumn's exciting new products in the following pages.

L . Brador | 9001P
WARM, DRY, ATTRACTIVE AND INCREDIBLY DURABLE.

The requirements were tough when L.Brador was about to develop the new 9001P jacket. The goal was to create a jacket that would protect against tough weather conditions at the same time as it breathed, kept the warmth in whilst offering sky-high durability. It was also to have a fit suited to mobility at work – for professionals who sometimes work on their knees, to then stretch their arms upwards and at times carry heavy beams on their shoulders. Faced with such a challenge, the choice of material is obviously a critical component.
L . Brador | 9001P
MATERIAL & DURABILITY.
HAPPY & HEALTHY STAFF WHO WORK EFFICIENTLY.
During the development process we started a joint effort with F.O.V. Fabrics AB – the innovator of hightech fabrics, whose basic function it is to solve challenging issues concerning materials that have to withstand hard and specific demands. On a sunny day in May we met up with Pernilla Harrysson to find out more about the supermaterial that L.Brador 9001P consists of.
How did the jacket feel after having used it for a year and a half ?
Pernilla Harrysson
F.O.V. has extensive experience in working on tough challenges concerning technical textile solutions. The company's focus lies on tough and demanding sectors such as law enforcement, military, sports, outdoors and fashion. As evidence of its expertise they have been given the opportunity to collaborate on established brands such as Peak Performance®, Gore® and Puma®. Pernilla explains that the material known as TechSteel™ has the unique combination of properties that mean that it is lightweight at the same time as it breathes, protects against water ingress and features a fantastic level of durability. F.O.V. has a modern test laboratory where they test all their fabrics and innovations and where even the material for L.Brador 9001P has been subjected to whipping to, among other things, test its durability. One of the testing devices spins and degrades a number of revolutions in order to see how long the fabric retains its integrity before it fails. Pernilla tells us that a good figure for furniture fabric testing is 50 000 revolutions. This fabric has been subjected to an incredible 1 000 000 revolutions without failing! The result of the collaboration means a jacket that has a unique composition of a good fit, durability, smart functions, breathability and protection against water ingress.
F.O.V. FABRICS AB
F.O.V. is driven by the interest for new innovations and smart solutions.
Product development, production F.O.V. develops technical textiles and testing in a modern laboratory in used primarily for clothes in sports, our premises in Borås which ensures outdoors, law enforcement, military a controlled, efficient manufacturing and fashion. process. The business started in 1962 and consequently has extensive experience in material properties and special solutions within the field of textiles. The company currently has around 80 employees and is mainly based in the town of Borås.
F.O.V. works primarily in the export market and collaborates with a number of famous brands such as Peak Performance, Gore® and Puma®.
Durability and an excellent fit are the lasting impressions. We see this as a jacket that can be used all year round. You don't have to drag three different jackets around with Joakim Ljunghager you in case the weather turns. It is instead smarter to use this type of shell jacket and use the Onion Principle of several layers. Sometimes you'll only need to wear a T-shirt under the jacket and the next time when it's a bit colder you'll prefer a thicker jumper under it. We have also received a number of comments from other colleagues in the industry who have reacted to the fact it is attractive and wonder what sort of a jacket it is! In functional terms the jacket is absolutely fantastic. It seems to be incredibly durable at the same time as it features a comfortable and practical fit with smart functions, that the designers have really put a lot of thought into. The waterproof zip instead of an annoying wind placket is one such example. The possibility of adjusting the hood depending on whether you are using hearing protection or not is something I've never seen in a jacket before. I'm impressed by how well it protects against wind and rain at the same time as it breathes so well.
What is the value of this jacket for you during your working day? The greatest benefit is that you can remain fully productive over 8 hours regardless of the weather and wind instead of only working for 4-5 hours and then standing shivering under cover waiting for the weather to improve or hoping that you'll dry out. Being dry and warm of course means significantly happier and healthier staff, who consequently work more efficiently. The value of having a comfortable, attractive and functional garment also implies a degree of pride for the employees. Everyone appreciates the need for feeling both attractive and professional. This aspect must not be underestimated among today's craftsmen and women.
ÅSUNDENS SHEET-METAL WORKS PLC Åsundens Sheet-Metal Works has used the L.Brador 9001P jacket virtually on a daily basis over a period of a year and a half. As a sheet-metal worker the work tasks are many and various in terms
of weather and wind, and also in relation to physical working positions. This can involve crawling around on one's knees, stretching to reach things, climbing ladders and laying on one's back in confined spaces. The conditions are felt to be a really good and representative testing environment for the 9001 jacket.

UPDATES TO OUR RANGE We are adding to our range in the autumn, increasing the options and are re-introducing a number of old favourites. Some adjustments have already been made, but these are purely beneficial. Our flameproof undergarment has been given a makeover where the orange seams have been replaced with the same grey tone that you will recognise from the Seamless series. For the Women's collection we have added grey and navy as options for the 1003PB model.
