West Indies, a nylon-cotton-polyester blend available with Gore-Tex sealing protection, uses an innovative and intricate mechanical-pleating construction so its surface reads almost as texture rather than folds, and the textile holds its shape and design over years of use. The cheery, tropics-inspired colorways live up to the collection's name. 3333 Commercial Avenue, Northbrook, IL 60062; 800-621-0827; architex-ljh.com. circle 387
