THE ONLY THING ADDED... 
We combine wool with TENCEL® to get a lighter, softer and cooler feeling. This is a plated fabric where we knit with TENCEL®closest to body and the wool facing out, this makes the fabric softer to wear directly against the skin.
SPORT LODEN/TENCEL®
60% sport loden wool 40% TENCEL®, weight: approx. 350g/m2
Wool and TENCEL® is a perfect match and both fibres have outstanding properties and complement each other:
• Wool blends with Tencel® provide even better moisture transport.
TENCEL® branded lyocell fibres from the house of Lenzing. They are of botanic origin, since they are extracted from the raw material wood. Fibre production itself is extremely ecofriendly, due to the closed loop system. Textiles of TENCEL® fibres are more absorbent than cotton, softer than silk and cooler than linen.

COTTON
Quality american type, fibre lenth 27-29 mm. Yarn is spun and dyed in Portugal.
In our cotton we use an extra high twist to make it stronger, more resistant against pilling, and shinier. Garments are also pre-shrunk and tumbled for softness.
Cotton weight on our flat knitted single jersey is 400g/m2
LINEN is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very strong, absorbent and dries faster than cotton. Garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot and humid weather.
Linen is one of the most biodegradable and stylish fabrics in fashion history. It is strong, naturally moth resistant, and made from flax plant fibres, so when untreated (i.e. not dyed) it is fully biodegradable. It’s durable and more sustainable than most other materials.
Our paper hang tags are made of FSC certified paper. Our hang tags are attached with a paper string.
The woven carelabels and tags are made of recycled polyester.
We also try to keep as many of our other fabrics and trims as natural as possible, for example all buttons used are made of wood, recycled polyester, coconut shell or recycled paper.
Speaking of paper.....our fake leather logo badges are made of Jacron.
Jacron is a sustainable vegan leather alternative made from cellulose and often used in the global textile and apparel industry.
Jacron is a type of paper material and a standard name for a fabric with similar qualities to animal-derived leather.
