Double sided blue / navy latex material.
We recently added a new color of double sided latex sheeting. It’s true blue on one side and dark navy blue on the other. Customers had been asking for a wider variety of blue colors, so instead of adding two new products, we thought it would be rad to combine them into one!
Double sided sheeting is perfect for fashions where you can show off the interior of the garment. Examples are shirt collars, jacket pockets, purse pockets, slit skirts, hoods, etc.
You can also create reversible items with double sided material. Get two garments out of one! Fold over the material at cuffs, collars, and wrists, to show the contrasting color as trim.
Check out some images for inspiration:
Reversible garments out of one sheet is such a smart angle, especially for people trying to maximize material without doubling their costs.
Using this for shirt collars seems especially effective, since that’s a classic place where a contrasting underside can stand out nicely.
The dual-tone approach also makes pattern cutting more interesting, since you can plan which side shows in different sections of a garment.
Really like the idea of true blue paired with dark navy in one sheet; it solves the usual problem of trying to match shades from different batches when designing reversible pieces.
I can imagine this working really well for minimal designs where the only detail is that flash of contrasting color at edges or openings.
Having navy as the reverse side keeps it wearable, while the brighter blue adds that pop when you want to highlight edges or movement.
Showing the interior on hoods and purse pockets sounds great, since those areas naturally expose the second color without forcing the design.
It’s good that the article points out interior visibility, because a lot of people overlook how often the inside of latex pieces gets seen.
Combining two blues into a single double sided latex feels practical, especially for things like cuffs and collars where you want that clean contrast without extra seams.
I’ve been waiting for more blue options, and this approach is clever since it gives both a bright and a deep tone without needing to stock separate materials.
I appreciate that it’s true blue and navy rather than two very similar shades, because the contrast will actually show when folded or layered.
Nice to see customer feedback directly influencing a product like this, especially since blue tones are surprisingly hard to coordinate in latex.
The idea of folding at wrists and cuffs to reveal the second color is simple but opens up a lot of styling options without extra construction.
This seems ideal for accessories too, like bags where flipping between navy and bright blue could give two distinct looks from the same piece.
This feels like a versatile addition, especially for designers experimenting with reversible or transformable garments without increasing complexity too much.
The mention of using it for slit skirts and jacket pockets got my attention; those small reveals of the interior color can really elevate a design.
