Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
"This fourth-generation family-owned woolen mill was established in 1876. They value preservation of tradition, skill and craftsmanship while also looking ahead at technology and a constantly changing industry; the mill feels that sustainability is a requirement of modern luxury, including both social and environmental considerations. During the past ten years, they have invested considerable economic and human resources into environmentally sustainable projects. They believe that renewable and efficient energy is essential to business strategy. One of their two facilities is powered by solar energy; the other is powered by hydroelectricity from a local dam. They pay attention to respectful animal husbandry and traceability in their fiber cultivation, and they dye yarn following the framework for safe and circular materials as outlined by the Fashion Positive Initiative. Additionally, the mill has the following certification: Cradle to Cradle® Gold Standard"
This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory that was founded in 1975. Today, the founders' daughters run operations. They use LED lights to minimize power consumption, and they recycle both raw materials and fabric waste. By the end of 2020, they hope to install solar panels to offset energy from nonrenewable sources and sources that pollute.
