History Channel Features Ultrasuede® as a "Modern Marvel" The History Channel "Modern Marvel" series is currently broadcasting an hour-long program entitled "Leather" that features Ultrasuede® as an advanced "luxurious" alternative to traditional materials. Speculating that leather may be the world's "first man-made product," the program traces the history of animal hide tanning from prehistoric times through the industrial breakthroughs of the 19th and 20th centuries before turning to modern synthetic technologies. In the final segment, the program spotlights Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, the Toray scientist who invented the world's first microfiber and inspired the creation of Ultrasuede®, and demonstrates with colorful animation how Ultrasuede® is created and processed. "Leather" is scheduled for rebroadcast on the History Channel at 12:00 pm on Saturday, July 15, 2006. Check your local listings for other broadcast times.
