Eco Fashion World

A commonly asked question relates to why there are so many more sustainable fashion options for women than there are for men. The answer to that question primarily ties into economic reasons and the overall demand in the market. Generally speaking, in order to have more options created, there should be a demonstrated demand in the market for the items. Men, state your claim on the eco fashion industry by shopping the sustainable collections that exist and creating a greater demand for more!

Just a few of the companies you should check out that are already in the loop and on trend with men's eco fashions are:

Loomstate Organic – I've mentioned Loomstate before but I have to mention them again. They are consistent in their relaxed style, attention to detail and their steadfast commitment to organic farming and the use of organic materials in their products. For a combination of classic American style, inspiration, and high quality, shop Loomstate Organic's collections of t-shirts, pants, jeans, shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and other outerwear.

Banuq – This collection of men's clothing is a blend of relaxed and classic infused with a bit of elegance. Vegetable and mineral-dyed soft color linens, luxurious certified organic fabrics, ethical practices and a commitment to full production in Africa are just some of the highlights that make Banuq easily stand out.

Rapanui – encourages communication as the key to understanding the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry. They have put communication in practice through "Traceability in Textiles," enabling you to know all about what you're wearing, where it came from, and how it was made. Rapanui's surf and skate lifestyle-inspired product lines include hoodies, shirts, beanies, socks and jeans and they happily provide info on every product, tracking it from seed to shop and guaranteeing that everyone involved in the manufacture of their products has been treated fairly. With an immense amount of energy, determination and a clear perspective, Rapanui aims to transform the fashion industry.

Komodo – Founded in the late 80's after Joe Komodo returned from a backpacking expedition which took him through Asia, Komodo has since evolved into an international brand which has pioneered east-west collaborations of a not only sustainable, but also strictly fair trade nature. With a dream to push on and continue to influence the international eco fashion scene, Komodo garments are produced by family run factories in Nepal, India and Bali. A donation from sales of all Komodo products on the website's "Free Tibet" page go directly to FREE TIBET , to further raise awareness and enable them to continue their vital work.

Other labels to look for include REI , Patagonia , Edun , and Kuyichi .
