- Energique are a "Made to Measure" fitness/dance wear designer and manufacturer. We started back in 1884, when the only professional fitness wear available in the UK was just Lycra Nylon or Cotton/Polyester, so we imported styles and designs direct from the U.S. The U.S. designs and styles where unique both to the "breathable" qualities and superior comfort in the fabric they offered. Today, Energique only use this type of fabric and still buy direct from Brazil, and the U.S. and we still only cut our own designs and styles. Most of our fabric is Dupont Polyamide Supplex and Dupont Meryl/Lycra, this is a professional weight (220-340gms), which means the garments not only feel very comfortable, and have great moisture management qualities, they will keep their shape and support even with regular washing. So, we have a really good fabric range, and over 20 years experience in designing and manufacturing fitness wear, we can only offer one more unique service........which is "Made to Measure" and we have vertially no competition, we can design to ANY individual shape, size, length, style and colour choice for any individual, clubs and groups, and we deliver direct between 7-10 days. I hope that gives you a little more information, however, if you have any more questions, please contact us via our online shop.
