About Us
Your comfort in our clothes is our mission. We use state of the art technologies to develop jeans that adapt to your body’s movement and characteristics.
FYT JEANS
Engineered for Comfort™
These jeans were carefully designed and engineered in scientific laboratories at MIT and UMinho to match the dynamic of active life styles – enhancing comfort and fit in a moving world.
The most sophisticated imaging technology and thermodynamic sensors were employed to optimize these materials and designs. 3D body scanner, sensors, all continue to be mainstay of FYT development paradigm.
Because you live in a dynamic world your clothes must have dynamic fit to respond.
