Fabric brand introduction
FLEXERA® Stretch without spandex.
Comfortable give, a dry hand, and a shape that comes back after every move.
Mibein’s registered brand of spandex-free polyester stretch knits.
Brand slogan
Stretch that comes back.
FLEXERA® gives garments room to move without relying on spandex.
It is not how far a fabric stretches. It is how it comes back.
Brand story
Why we built FLEXERA®
What we look for is the fabric after repeated movement.
Almost any knit stretches on the sampling table. The problems come later: knees that bag after a day’s wear, elbows that stay rounded, hems that grow. FLEXERA® was developed around recovery. After repeated movement, the fabric should spring back and keep its original shape.
It is made from polyester alone. There is no spandex to weaken with chlorine, heat or time, and the fabric keeps a simple single-fibre composition.
Brand belief
Freedom to move, and a shape that stays.
Comfort stretch, no spandex
Give at the shoulder, elbow and knee from the yarn and knit structure, not from an elastane core.
Springs back after movement
We judge a FLEXERA® fabric by how it recovers after repeated stretching, not by the stretch number alone.
100% polyester
A dry hand, easy all-polyester care, and one fibre in the composition.
Reference data
FLEXERA® fibre compared with spandex
As published on our XWP1018-1 spec sheet.
| Property | FLEXERA® | Spandex range |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength (cN/dtex) | 3.0–3.8 | 0.4–1.0 |
| Chlorine resistance (strength retained, 50 ppm / 50 h) | ≥90% | <50% |
| Long-term heat resistance | 130–150 °C | <100 °C |
| Dyeing temperature at normal pressure | 95–105 °C | 115–130 °C |
| Elongation recovery after 500 cycles | 95%+ | Significant decline |
Read this first. These figures come from a supplied material comparison; test methods and scope are not specified, and they are not test results for a finished fabric. The XWT1532 sheet in the same series gives more conservative values (tenacity 2.9–3.8 cN/dtex, recovery >90%). Temperatures are not laundering or ironing instructions. For finished-fabric results, see the third-party test table on XWT1532 or ask us for the report on your colour.
Where it works
Made for pieces that move all day
Move
Tees and tops that give at the shoulder.
Light
85–135 g/m² qualities for hot days.
Commute
Polos and shirts that keep their shape.
Wear
Easy all-polyester care, wash after wash.
For compression and high-grip garments, we recommend our elastane blends instead.
Development approach
From the garment back to the fibre
Start from the garment
Garment, fit and where it needs to stretch: we agree the target before choosing a fabric.
Choose yarn and construction
Combine FLEXERA® yarn, knit structure and finishing into a fabric proposal.
Check stretch and recovery
Judge stretch and recovery on the sample, and on a sample garment after wear and washing.
Move to bulk
Heat-setting and finishing are monitored so stretch stays consistent from lot to lot.
Per project. Composition, weight, construction, testing and certification scope are confirmed per project.
Hero fabrics
FLEXERA® hero fabrics
Two qualities lead the range. Specifications are confirmed per approved sample and order.
High-Stretch Cotton-Feel Jersey Fabric
Ultra-Lightweight High-Density Check Jacquard Fabric
Also in the series, and more spandex-free stretch knits from our library
