Average quality, high synthetic content

Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.

🔬

Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.

🌍

This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.

⚠️

Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
