What is eco stretch?Updated 8 months ago
Our eco stretch fabric uses recycled poly thread with 38% of composition made from plastic bottle waste. Designed with both the environment and wearability in mind, Eco Stretch stays true to classic, crisp suiting fabric but gives you flex where you want it and comfort where you need it.
Is the fabric good for a hot climate or destination wedding?
Yes. The eco stretch fabric is very breathable and we've outfitted TONS of summer, destination, and warm weather weddings.
How is it made?
First, we collect PET bottles—those made of clear, strong plastic. After being sterilized, dried, and crushed into small chips, these bottles are made into pellets. Heated and passed through a spinneret, the pellets are transformed into springs of yarn and wound up in spools.
To create a fluffy, wooly texture, the yarn fiber is passed through a crimping machine. Finally, the yarn is baled, dyed, and knitted into the recycled fabric we use to make our suits.
