Construction and Production Process
Sourcing:
We use recuperated materials from construction sites and manufacturers.
About 10-15% of building materials are over-ordered and will be discarded once construction is complete. Here is where we intervene (interlope, if you will) and recover that material and save it from going to landfill. An additional source is straight from the material maufacturers who discard end-of-roll and offcut material.
Production:
Construction of the garments is an integral part of our mission.
Each garment is simply and efficiently constructed, using the maximum possible amount of material. Though we are not zero waste, we do our best.
The garments are constructed with intention of extending the lifecycle
of these already repurposed materials. The design and patterning of the
pieces considers minimal tampering of the material (keeping pieces and
panels as large as possible without puncture or manipulation) to allow for
another iteration once no longer wanted or needed in its current state.
For example, the Tyvek Trench can be remade into 4-5 tote bags.
The denim insulation suit is already a product of a recycled material: jeans.
The suit can be shredded and made into pulp
(for a vest, pillows, pet bed, acoustical insulation, etc.)
All garments are handmade and sewn on machines.
