Our Guide to Latex Grade
Tailored Latex
Tailored latex clothing is made from latex sheeting. The Latex Store uses 4D rubber for all of our tailored items. This latex sheeting is produced have a greater uniformity than molded latex in thickness and overall quality.
The .02" (.4 mm) gauge is the standard thickness we use for latex clothing. Even though standard tailored latex is slightly thinner than the standard molded latex, "sheet latex" is usually more resistant to tearing than molded latex. The garment creation process is different, the stress points on the garment have glued seams, which means there are multiple layers of latex at each point.
Tailored latex clothing is made like traditional clothing; patterns are used on latex sheets to cut the garment. But unlike regular clothing, the latex pieces are generally glued (sometimes sewn) together
Tailored garments are just that, tailored to fit better. We control the size and fit of garment therefore you will receive a garment that fits "better".
The Latex Store uses 4D Rubber exclusively with our tailored products.
