Presently the majority of new thermionic valves are manufactured in Russia or those parts of Eastern Europe that were behind The Iron Curtain. Such valves can withstand overloads through say a huge electromagnetic disturbance in a way transistors cannot. This apparently why certain regimes favour them over transistors. We can be sure the motivation was/is not the warmth and harmonics of audio reproduction in eye wateringly expensive HiFi equipment. Valves were developed in 1926 primarily to amplify telephony.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
