Carpenter Cords - Umber

Textiles are the foundation of any garment. Fiber composition represents the fundamental integration of a sustainable ethos into clothing. Beginning with our launch 2005 we have incorporated fibers made of Hemp and Organic Cotton in every collection. We also routinely use recycled and sustainable fibers such as REPREVE and TENCEL® in our garments. Often those are combined with Hemp or Organic Cotton. By utilizing these fibers in our textiles, the use of toxins and pesticides are reduced, water and energy are used in more economical ways, and the impact on humans and the environment is significantly less than with conventional fabrics. Dyeing domestically in the United States reduces harm associated with garment manufacturing as ordinances since 1981 have regulated disposal of pollutants. We commonly use first quality, factory remnants of conventional textiles from other companies in an effort to reduce waste while not expending additional resources for our production. In this way we are able to work with phenomenal textiles suitable to our smaller scale of manufacturing that require almost no additional resources to create. We feel this is one of our most sustainable acts as manufacturers.
