Dressability’s very own Jim Sinclair, a Trustee of the charity, recently approached the team to see if they could help in strengthening a pair of his gloves which had become worn from use when handling his wheelchair in rough terrain as the tyres required for this activity are knobbly and his gloves needed to be harder wearing.
Gloves do wear however, so having discussed possible options with Sharon and Angela at Dressability, they suggested trying Kevlar, a synthetic lightweight fibre material, that delivers high tension strength for improved protection and performance. Dressability use this material for other client’s clothing when hard wearing protection is required.
Angela replaced the palm of the gloves with the Kevlar to be more robust in use with no reduction in the comfort of the gloves, which looked like new when Angela had finished refurbing.
Highly impressive workmanship!
