Hylas is working on improvements in the finish of the fabrics. Previously, we manufactured all awning fabrics with a U-hem finish. Both the top and bottom seams are folded over to the same side. When replacing our sewing machines for the top and bottom seams, we are switching to a new improved manufacturing method with the S seam. The bottom seam is folded down and the top seam is folded up.
The change in clothing has been implemented on February 1st for the plain seamless fabrics and will be implemented for the fabrics in strips as of May 1st.
