Faribault Woolen Mill Co. Recycled Wool Clampdown Shirt

When the chance to produce a recycled wool version of our  Clampdown shirt with  Faribault Woolen Mill Co. presented itself, we jumped at the chance. The wool used for the shirt is the same Faribault uses to make their Utility blankets (75% recycled wool with a touch of poly-nylon for durability). This wool is their most environmentally sustainable blanket, made from a combination of leftover virgin wool fiber and sewing scraps spun into recycled yarn. The unique look comes from all the different colored fibers. During over-dye, the 25% polyester resists the dye, creating distinctive specs and adding brightness to the fabric.

The shirt has denim accents using the same Japanese 7.5 oz. denim makes our  Topper shirt with and has dyed to match corozo buttons. Cut and sewn in San Francisco, California, this shirt is a true American classic.
