Model is 5ft 11 / 180cm with a 32 inch / 81cm waist, and wears size Medium.

Fabric infused with graphene during yarn extrusion
Thermoregulating, breathable, and bacteriostatic
Four-way stretch minimalist tailoring

If you’re looking to reverse engineer superhero gear, then graphene is your material. Invisible to the human eye and only a single atom thick, it’s the lightest, strongest, most conductive material ever discovered.

So a Graphene Suit was always going to happen – we just ditched the skintight vibes and flowing cape. With graphene infused into every fibre of the pants at a molecular level, this is the lightest, stretchiest, coolest and most comfortable super-suit in the universe.

The pants are highly breathable and built with four-way stretch for free-flowing movement in any direction. We’ve added a water repellent finish to protect against light rain. And thanks to the graphene, they conduct heat to help regulate your temperature and they’re bacteria resistant in case you get any bits of bad guy on you.

A material built for superheroes

If you’re looking to reverse engineer superhero gear then graphene is your material. It’s the lightest, strongest, and most conductive substance ever discovered. Since 2018 we’ve been using it to create clothing that behaves like technology – from thermal skins to invisibility cloaks. And now we’ve used it to build suit pants with superpowers.

Graphene is the lightest, strongest and most conductive material ever discovered.

21st century suit pants

The Graphene Suit Pants are built as minimalist, unstructured tailored pants. There’s no heavy internal architecture and no unnecessary bulk. The waistband is clean and precise. The seams are shaped for movement. And the pockets are hidden but hard-wearing. These are precision-cut trousers that move like performance gear

We infuse graphene directly into the fabric

To build the pants, graphene is added at the molecular level during yarn creation. The polymer base is melted and extruded – effectively pushed through microscopic nozzles – while powdered graphene oxide is introduced into the molten flow. As it cools, the graphene bonds permanently to the polymer, baking its properties into every fibre. The graphene’s microscopic lattice gives the surface a subtle, tessellated sheen, visible only in the right light.

Ultralight, ultra-elastic, bacteria resistant and temperature regulating. Cape not included.

Why graphene makes incredible suit pants

Graphene conducts heat more efficiently than any other material on Earth, warming or cooling almost instantly. It’s bacteriostatic, meaning bacteria can’t grow on its surface, so it stays fresher and odour-free even after long wear. And the fabric is super light, helping it drape cleanly while staying fluid and flexible.

Unstructured, unlined, and built for maximum mobility

We add 30% elastane to the graphene-infused polyamide, which means the pants have exceptional four-way stretch. These pants can take any bend, step or twist you throw at them and feel more like technical sportswear than tailoring. Forward-angled side seams, a shaped back yoke and single darts support natural movement. The front is half lined for comfort. Internal seams are bound. And everything unnecessary has been removed.

Engineered for travelling light, you can just pull the suit out of your bag and shake it out.

It comes with stealth pockets

The open side pockets are clean-finished and each hides a second zipped pocket inside for securing valuables. At the back, two invisible zip pockets are built into the seams and bartacked at either end for long-term durability. Inside, pocket bags are French-seamed, and internal seams are bound.

Engineered for travelling light

The pants’ low weight, stretch and unstructured construction make them super easy to fold and pack into a travel bag. At the other end of the journey you can simply pull them out, shake them down and put them straight on.

The only material that comes with a Nobel Prize

The existence of graphene as a supermaterial was first theorised in the 1940s, but it wasn’t until 2004 that two maverick scientists at the University of Manchester – Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov – were able to isolate and test it. They peeled layer after layer off a shaving of graphite using Scotch tape until they produced a sample of graphene just one atom thick. In 2010 their work won them the Nobel Prize.

Graphene’s discovery was probably the first and last time the Nobel Prize will be awarded for an experiment involving Scotch tape and a bin.

We’ve already built world-firsts with graphene

This is not our first time working with graphene. In 2018, we built the world’s first Graphene Jacket. We then spent three years working with the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester creating the world’s first Thermal Camouflage Jacket, a computer-programmable jacket designed to get us one step closer to an invisibility cloak.

A supermaterial unlike anything before

When graphite is reduced to a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagon formation, it turns into a supermaterial unlike anything ever known before. It’s so strong and so stretchy that the fibres of a super-sized spider web coated in graphene could catch a falling plane. With the potential to transform almost every industry from space travel to electronics, graphene is so mind-blowing that its discovery was described as like finding CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on your desk.
