Blue Dot Fabrics (EasyClean)
Blue Dot fabrics are designed for everyday living and easy maintenance. Most stains can be removed with soap and water: blot the spot with absorbent paper, dampen with a mild soap-and-water solution, and rub gently with a clean towel. Repeat until the stain lifts, rinse with clean water, and blot dry.
These recommendations apply to residential use. While spot cleaning is effective for most household spills, we recommend professional cleaning for the best long-term results. Machine washing is not advised.
These are not abrasive outdoor materials. Advances in fabric technology mean EasyClean fabrics deliver strong stain resistance while remaining soft and comfortable—perfect for everyday interiors.
Green Dot Fabrics (Endurance)
Green Dot fabrics are built for durability and have been independently tested for residential wear. They meet a minimum of 40,000 double rubs for abrasion resistance. For reference, 30,000 double rubs is a common benchmark for commercial-grade upholstery.
These fabrics are made to look great and hold up over time. They are not the stiff, scratchy performance textiles of the past—modern fiber and weave technology make them soft and inviting while still extremely durable.
Red Dot Fabrics (Crypton®)
The Red Dot collection features Crypton performance fabrics, known for stain, odor, and moisture resistance. Liquids bead on the surface for quick cleanup, and built-in odor resistance helps upholstery stay fresher longer. Crypton also resists bacteria and mildew, making it ideal for family rooms, dining chairs, and other high-use areas.
Despite the protective performance, these fabrics remain soft and welcoming to the touch—showing that high-performance textiles can be both effective and comfortable.
Yellow Dot Fabrics (Sunbrella®)
The Yellow Dot collection features Sunbrella fabrics, which combine refined design with lasting performance. Sunbrella fibers are dyed through, giving excellent fade resistance even in direct sunlight. They resist mold, mildew, and stains, and can be cleaned with simple soap and water.
Sunbrella is engineered to feel refined and soft rather than coarse. Modern textile innovation allows Sunbrella to deliver outdoor-grade durability and lightfastness while still offering the comfort and texture you'd expect indoors.

Thayer Coggin
Thayer Coggin's love of furniture began one early Christmas morning, when all he asked for was a claw hammer. After receiving it, Thayer made his own bedroom suite. A few years later, in shop class at High Point High School, he made rocking chairs and cedar chests for tuition to attend High Point College. Then, after service in WWII, he returned to his first love and founded James Manufacturing. But, Thayer dreamed of producing designs that were innovative. He traveled to Europe for inspiration and he was impressed by the light-scaled upholstery he saw there. He said, "The simple, clean lines appealed to my sense of beauty...[their impression] hit me like a ton of bricks." Home in High Point, he developed a singular focus: to develop furniture featuring sleek, horizontal lines, synonymous with the ranch-style homes that characterized post-war suburbia.
