Materials with a second life
Everyday clothing, made from recycled fibers and rescued fabric. Our knitwear combines reborn cotton with recycled polyester. Our chore coats, pants and coveralls give surplus fabric from LA another use. Blue & Yellow make Green.
Recycled and rescued
Our knitwear is 98% recycled fiber. Our woven pieces use surplus fabric sourced in LA.
Made here, and we say where
Our knitwear is knit and sewn outside Toronto. Rescued-fabric pieces are cut and sewn in LA, and socks are made in North Carolina. Our recycled polyester yarn is spun in Spain.
Close to the work
Our cutting and sewing happens in Canada and the US, which gives us closer control over wages, benefits and workplace safety.
Recycled & Respun
Our tees, fleece and French terry begin with cotton recovered from discarded clothing and textiles, blended with recycled polyester from plastic bottles. They are knit and sewn outside Toronto.
Tees: 50% recycled cotton, 48% recycled polyester and 2% other fibers.
Fleece and French terry: 59% recycled cotton, 39% recycled polyester and 2% other fibers.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. About 5 to 13 plastic bottles in each piece, depending on the garment.
The life of recycled yarn
- Recover the cotton. Discarded clothing and textiles are sorted by color and turned into cotton fiber.
- Make recycled yarn. Recycled cotton is blended with polyester made from plastic bottles. Our recycled polyester yarn is spun in Spain.
- Knit, cut and sew. The fabric becomes our tees, fleece and French terry, made outside Toronto.
Rescued & Revived
We find surplus fabric in the LA Apparel District and turn it into chore coats, pants and coveralls, cut and sewn in LA. Each run is limited by the yardage available.
Chambray, flannel, US-milled canvas, denim, corduroy, Sashiko and waxed twill each bring their own character. Our Sashiko was made in Japan and our waxed twill in Scotland; both were found as leftovers in LA.
Packaging with less waste
Our shipping envelopes are 100% recycled paper, printed with algae ink. Every garment ships in a compostable bag, certified to break down within 180 days.
