Men hooded jacket

Functionality and applied recycling are at the forefront of this jacket. In addition to polyester, polyurethane and recycled polyester, the outer fabric also contains S.Café polyester fibers, which are made from recycled PET bottles on the outside and harbor components made from recycled coffee grounds powder on the inside. These fibers absorb odors and continuously transport moisture from the skin to the outside, where it quickly evaporates and creates a measurable cooling effect. At the same time, they give the jacket a more natural feel compared to conventional synthetic fibers. The padded lining in the form of a removable inner jacket is made entirely of recycled polyester. The outer jacket is closed with a water-repellent two-way zipper with an underlayed panel. Ventilation openings with zipper under the armpits increase comfort. Two side pockets, one chest pocket and one sleeve pocket, all with zippers, hold small items for daily use. The inner jacket is made with windproof elasticated cuffs and equipped with two side pockets with zipper.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
