Picture of Tyler Wilcox Tyler Wilcox : April 16, 2018

Earth Day is April 22 this year, and as usual, we’re all looking for ways to become more eco-friendly. So why not start with our closets? Fortunately, progressive apparel brands are doing their part to keep our planet in great shape. Check out a few below.

Alternative Apparel: Earth Friendly Fibers

https://vimeo.com/162853101 Alternative Apparel is serious about sustainability – it’s built into everything the brand produces … literally. Earth-friendly fibers and processes combine to create soft, naturally worn-in medium weight jersey, and Alternative’s responsible business practice involves the use of organic cotton, the proprietary development of fabrications, working with communities that employ sustainable practice in the way they farm their animals (such as Alpaca farms) and processes such as G2 Wash, which reduces water waste by about 60 percent in Chambray garments. These efforts recently earned Alternative a top spot in CNN’s roundup of sustainable fashion brands.

Obermeyer: Sustainable Textiles

Maintaining green standards in the textile industry leads to complicated technical processes. But Obermeyer, the pioneering outerwear brand, is devoted to leaving as light a footprint on our planet as possible. Some garments are made partly from bamboo, which is the fastest-growing plant on earth, in addition to fabrics made from 48 percent recycled textiles. The brand also created the innovative “I-Grow” Extended Wear System kids’ garments, which features a simple and unique way to lengthen sleeves and cuffs up to two inches, meaning that even the fastest-growing kids will get the most out of their Obermeyer gear.

Nau: Fabric / Fashion Forward

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e1Tj0oCcBk Fabric innovation is the name of the game for Nau. The brand produces timeless, eco-friendly pieces that blend fashion-forward designs with technical attributes fit for the outdoors. Nau aims to create clothing that lasts, is safe to make and wear, and always ensures that the fabric can be traced back to its origin. In recent years, brand has moved its entire down collection to recycled down, eliminating perfluorocarbons (PFCs) from durable water repellant (DWR) treatments, and incorporating natural fibers like hemp, merino wool and certified organic cotton into highly technical performance fabrics.

Spiritual Gangster: Peace, Love & Mindfulness

Spiritual Gangster, offering Yoga-inspired clothing for high vibration living, is all about letting the good vibes roll. And that includes mindful living – the brand is devoted to the belief that “in order to get, you must first give,” Spiritual Gangster’s Kanji Eco Tank features a “Peace Love Yoga Spiritual Gangster” graphic and easy fit. Made from a naturally cooling, eco-friendly recycled polyester/organic cotton blend.

Takeya: Plastic-Free Hydration

https://youtu.be/CRlUp4v1zMM OK, you can’t wear Takeya’s water bottles – but they’re definitely a stylish accessory for festival season, summer and beyond. Did you know? Americans used about 50 billion disposable plastic water bottles last year. That’s a whole lot of waste. Takeya’s water bottles are the perfect solution for hydration on-the-go, made of high quality tempered glass, so beverage remains free of any plastic or metallic taste. So ditch the disposables and get with Takeya this Earth Day.
