Share Your Style at Its Best with Recycled Apparel
Building a recognizable brand requires apparel that can keep up with your team’s pace and your company’s values. Our selection of recycled polyester shirts and recycled cotton t-shirts is designed for durability and high utility, ensuring your investment lasts. By utilizing recycled polyester fabric, these garments offer a more stable supply chain solution by reducing reliance on virgin materials. Whether you are outfitting a tech team or a construction crew, our custom apparel provides the professional look you need with the resource efficiency you want.
What Are the Performance Benefits of Recycled Polyester Fabric?
"Recycled" doesn't mean "compromised." These garments are engineered for the daily grind. Recycled polyester fabric offers performance benefits such as:
- Durability: This material is naturally long lasting and resists the daily wear and tear of a busy work environment.
- Moisture Wicking: Many of our recycled polyester shirts feature quick drying properties to keep your team comfortable.
- Low Maintenance: These fabrics are often wrinkle resistant, making them a high utility choice for travel or long shifts.

What Types of Materials Are Used in This Collection?
We have a wide variety of material types, meeting different needs across different apparel styles. Our collection is a curated mix of resource-efficient materials designed for comfort and long-lasting performance, including:
- Recycled Polyester Fabric: Created from post-consumer PET bottles, this material is the backbone of our high-utility recycled polyester shirts, commonly used in blends such as 40% recycled polyester and 60% recycled cotton.
- Recycled and Organic Cotton: We use both pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled cotton t-shirts made from reclaimed textile scraps, as well as organic cotton blends. You’ll see a lot of this in our cozy fleece products.
- Specialty Fibers: You'll see recycled nylon in our outerwear for lightweight durability, and Tencel™ Modal (derived from renewable beech trees) for an incredibly soft, breathable feel.
We source all of our apparel from high-quality brands, ensuring that everything you customize makes it comfortable, convenient, and trendy to wear your brand wherever you promote.
