Material

• collar and cuff are made of 100 % recycled PET bottles

• both fabrics are GRS-certified

• Our recycled wool blend is made from pre-loved garments in Italy: Large quantities of old wool clothing are collected and sorted by colour. They are washed and ground into tiny fibres from which a completely new fabric is woven. Dying is not required in this process: The original material determines the colour of the resulting fabric. One of the challenges in production is the low availability of pure wool garments: A minimum of 2,000 kilogrammes of waste material is needed per colour to make recycled wool. Since wool is often mixed with synthetic fibres, those are also found in used garments. In the recycling process, however, wool and synthetic fibres cannot be separated. Instead, the existing mix of materials is processed as a whole. The result is a recycled fibre in which wool meets a variable proportion of different synthetic fibres.
