Legacy of Quality

The Wear-Dated name began years ago with a unique promise: customers who purchased men's shirts made from a specific superior nylon were given a "wear-dated" guarantee that if the shirts wore out before the date stamped on the label, they could be returned for a full refund, no questions asked. Before long, this promise was incorporated into carpet made from the same superior nylon.

For over 30 years, Wear-Dated has represented uncompromising durability, consistently "tough-testing" its carpets to meet or exceed consumer expectations. Using 100% premium preferred nylon, a high- performance fiber known for its incredible durability, Wear-Dated then added advanced softness and Scotchgard- Protector Advanced Repel Technology to create DuraSoft's gentle stain- and soil-resistant comfort. And for the ultimate combination of extra strength and supreme softness, consumers choose Wear-Dated SoftTouch- with Soft Fusion Technology-.

Wear-Dated's rich legacy of promising-and delivering-superior durability, combined with innovation that delivers more softness and more stain and soil protection than ever before, adds up to maximum value for your customers and maximum profitability for you.
