Sourcing the materials and accessories also has its difficulties; resistance and proximity.
The Armalith comes from Spain.
The material for the jeans pockets and the pockets for the knee and hip protectors, the linings and the neoprene come from France (Rhone Alpes). The lining for the jacket pockets from Europe. The poppers and zips are also from France.
The thread is from one of the main international suppliers and is foreign made.
The jackets and jeans are washed before being marketed. This first wash ensures that any shrinkage has occurred and the garment has its definitive shape. This process is carried out in France by two companies.
And the protectors? No French supplier could be found for these, but they are manufactured in Europe.
