Fashion in general does. Also wtf is up with the pics in that article?

Saw first pic and exited article

The onus is on the industry giants - Supreme (esp.), Off White, Stussy

And it is fueled by hypebeast culture

In February I preordered the Snack Shirt - Pink Flower Clamp from Story MFG's AW19 season, EARTHTONE and it just got here this weekend (they give you an estimate of when you'll get it when you preorder and this was within that estimate). Their preorder system is really cool too because you can get discounts depending on how much you spend. Shirt has a boxy fit and a very rich/dark indigo color, really happy with it. Ton of pictures after this -

Closeups of the dye pattern and the buttons (first one is white and each subsequent button reddens/darkens up through the final, indigo button:

Cool care tags:

What's written on the bag: "This bag is made from natural plant materials and will biodegrade. Reuse it as many times as you like and compost it when you're done."

"Our products are made of organic materials. We dye natural fibres and fabric using earth minerals, leaves, bark, roots, heartwood, fruits, flowers, bacteria and sunlight. To read about this product and more about what we do visit storymfg.com or follow @storymfg on Instagram."

"This label contains a blessing and is composed of waste cotton offcuts left over from production. Please compost to return nutrients to the earth."

Moving this over from the original sustainable thread because of how much I love this shirt.

Bought some beanies for the long run from my sustainable store with Pantagonia and North Face. Gonna resell and donate these old clothes I don't wear. Was thinking about getting reshoevinator for black Friday to clean all my shoes and to keep wearing. But os there a cleaner way to clean my shoes without effecting my shoes and the environment?

This just reminded me that at some point I gotta get heel taps on a bunch of my kicks to maintain em

@jewop you got any other sustainability thoughts/reads/pages

Thanks for bumping this. can we get my thread merged with this one? I have some ideas just gimme a sec

I'm not sure about merging, I think you'd have to find a mod + you might be able to just delete the last thread and post here

oh s*** lemme see

i absolutely demolished my cps heels in a year

i have flat feet and wasnt using my insert in them when i first bought them and wore them everyday for around 2 months nearly. need to get it touched up badly because uppers perfect and one of the heels borderline disgusting to look at

u have experience getting sneakers repaired before? I honestly have no clue in getting heel drag repaired but heard its an easy/common thing to do. Do I need to look for a good cobbler, or would a local one do?

I have super flat feet too and drag terribly as well. I don't know anything about repairs so I'm also curious as well, please let me know if you come across anything

@thenewjimmorrison what are the eco-friendly brands you purchase from?

@Skog info on By Walid and what they (and Bode) are doing on vintage textiles?

Everlane, patagonia, and general knot & co for ties.

My impression of both brands is that they use much time on collecting special vintage textiles, which are being used to make some really unique clothes. They are both in the luxury area, but they really show the potential that old vintage textiles have and they are doing it in their own way. Im a big fan of Bode, and even though she has started to produce new clothes as well, it seems that the production line is more healthy than most of the industry. Another brand that do cool vintage clothes is Frank Leder.

Here is a link to By Walid: bywalid.co.uk/about

Preciate the information @thenewjimmorrison and @Skog
Please post anything else you come across or are thinking about sustainability wise here, really trying to learn more
