Materials

Material enquiry

If you need the figures for an article in writing — for a procurement file, a resale listing, or your own records — ask here. It is free, it is not a subscription, and nothing is added to a mailing list.

What we can send you

The full fibre composition, as printed on the label
The recycled percentage by weight
The source type: post-consumer or post-industrial
The certification status, and the certificate reference where one has been issued
The issuing body, where a reference exists
The country of manufacture
The statement of how the material behaves differently from virgin material

What we cannot send you

We hold no lifecycle assessment for these articles, so we cannot provide impact figures, emissions data, water figures or comparisons against a conventional garment. Asking us will get you an honest no rather than an industry average with our name attached to it.

Where an article is supplier-declared, what we can send is the supplier's declaration. We will not represent that as third-party verification, because it is not.

How each field is defined is set out on the materials page — worth reading first, as it often answers the question outright.
