Recently, Fred J. Miller, Inc. turned to America’s most prominent fabric mill, Milliken and Company, and its most famous product, Visa fabrics, to secure the latest in fabric technology for its trademark Cesario Collection.

Outcomes from the latest rounds of testing provided FJM with the superior fabric it demanded, and proved that the Visa System 3 outperforms the claims of every other fabric being used in uniforms today. Ounce for ounce, this rugged, durable, and comfortable fabric outscores any competitor for moisture management and stain release.  And yet, it is woven in a classic 11.5 ounce gabardine, perfectly suited for the tailored fit and crisp good looks demanded by the top Bands and Drum & Bugle Corps who rely on the Image Makers at FJM.

As highly-rated innovators of American performance fabric, venerable Milliken Mills of Spartanburg, SC. engineered the patented VISA System 3 to provide superior, permanent comfort, soil release and moisture management unrivaled in the industry. This is true especially when directly compared to nano-treated fabrics.  These products, not really new fabrics at all, but familiar lightweight team/cheerleader materials, are chemically treated with a solution of nano fibers that are 1/100^th the size of a human hair.  The claim is that these fibers act as a buffer, like peach fuzz, to help water bead up and roll off.  

But when directly compared to nano fabrics, VISA System 3 out-performed them in all three major categories. Here are the reasons FJM chose to go with the leader.

1)       Comfort - The VISA System 3 fabrics’ smooth feel is the result of patented technology, engineered for high performance characteristics. In addition, the softness is permanent and consistent, even after multiple washings. In recent testing, 4 out of 5 uniform industry experts preferred VISA System 3 to nano -treated garments when it came to softness.

2)      Stain Release - The VISA System 3 is able to handle tough oil stains that are normally very difficult to get out. This is due to a patented process directly applied to the fabric, which also prevents spreading and redisposition. Tests showed that remarkable VISA System 3 is up to 4 times better than nano-treated fabrics in regards to stain release.

3)      Moisture Management – The Visa System 3 comes with a superior drying rate and also superior wicking power. In moisture transport, VISA System 3 has shown to be 7 times faster than nano-treated fabric, while drying at a rate 33% faster.

The custom, washable uniforms of the Cesario Collection have gained recognition for athletic comfort, distinctive good looks and enduring performance. And FJM’s ongoing relationship with Milliken Mills guarantees the most sophisticated Visa fabrics available.

When it comes to the finest in uniforms, you can rely on the originator of the contemporary washable uniform, The Image Makers, FJM.
