The materials we choose are just as meaningful as the designs we create. Our commitment to subtle pride goes hand in hand with a commitment to sustainability, and that starts with what our hats are made of. Two of the most important materials in our collection are recycled cotton and recycled polyester. Here’s why they matter.
Recycled Cotton: Giving Fabric a Second Life
Recycled cotton is made from pre-consumer textile waste, like offcuts and leftover fabric from factory floors. Instead of ending up in landfill, these scraps are collected, sorted by color, and spun back into new fiber.
This process:
-
Saves water since cotton is a water-intensive crop
-
Reduces landfill waste
-
Eliminates the need for harsh dyes because fibers are sorted by color
The result is a soft, breathable material with a naturally worn-in feel, perfect for headwear that’s comfortable from day one. When you wear a recycled cotton hat, you're wearing what would’ve been discarded, transformed into something lasting.
Recycled Polyester: A Smarter Use of Waste
Recycled polyester, also known as rPET, is made by melting down plastic, usually from discarded water bottles or industrial waste, and re-spinning it into yarn.
We use recycled polyester in parts of our hats like:
-
Tape linings for structure and durability
-
Embroidery yarn used in eyelets and finishing touches
This helps:
-
Divert plastic waste from oceans and landfill
-
Reduce reliance on fossil fuels
-
Lower energy use compared to virgin polyester
It also allows us to design with precision and durability while sticking to our low-impact values.
Style Without Compromise
Using recycled materials doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. In fact, they often bring unique character to each piece. We blend recycled cotton and polyester in a way that balances softness, structure, and longevity so your hat doesn’t just feel good, it does good.
Wear What Matters
Small choices make a big impact. By choosing recycled cotton and polyester, we’re cutting down on waste, conserving resources, and making fashion a little more responsible, one hat at a time.
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword to us. It’s stitched into every piece.
