Perhaps you want a vest, a great pair of pants or a jacket but you just can't find it. At Hermans Eco We make all the hard stuff. So do some of my friends. I will tell you who I like and why. I won't be recommending things made in China . If its off shore it's hard to tell what their values are. Now they have many certificates, but wait are theses worth the paper they are written on ? When selling to Europe most the seals are different. I don't know who to use or who to trust. I guess I will just follow my instincts . In the beginning Eco Fashion was a grassroots movement. Now there is more money in it and the rules have changed .Transparency is a very good thing. However if you are shopping at a company where most of their goods are made in Sweatshops maybe its not real. Indigenous Designs has a chip on their price tag that shows you who made the clothes . Propetik makes it's goods in The US like we do at Hermans Eco and they do a lot of Natural Dying. I'll be adding more to the list later .
I have being reading so called articles about Eco Fashion many start something like this. The 10 Best Eco Fashion Companies. I was wondering why none of my Eco Designer friends are ever listed. It's a paid for ad disguise. The companies they are promoting are paying for . You have to follow the money trail. I don't expect Fast Fashion Companies to change. Money is very important to them . The way we will change the Men's Fashion world is by what we spend . Yes it does matter . These big companies are ruining our environment , they don't care much . Big Fashion Corporations want you to think they care but actions speak louder than words. H & M got caught burning the clothes that were donated to be recycled. Wow ! I want you men to make your own judgements. To much greenwashing going on.

Let's talk about the clothes in this picture. I really like it when my Models look American . The tan shirt is made of organic cotton Grown in Texas dyed with natural black walnut. The pants are made of saved Vintage cotton . The Mexican striped shirt is a vintage tablecloth . Somebodies Granny saved it for years. It's from the 50's. The white pants are my Organic Cotton mens yoga pants. I made them for years .
When The Eco Fashion movement started men became aware . Often they would have their friends make something cool for them as you just couldn't find it . Now it's a little better , growing all the time.
Tips. Bamboo is mostly broken down with acid processing and is not earth friendly.
Tencel is broken down to micro pieces so small it can get trapped in the lungs similar to asbestos . Not Recommended.
If you buy something wash it first. They put a bunch of chemicals on clothes . I want my wrinkles back.
I used to make clothes from hemp a lot while I like it . I quite buying it since it was coming from China. It was 100% hemp not blended with plastic or tencel . China have a long list of violations and don't share my Green values. Now my line is mostly found secondhand vintage natural fabrics and organic cotton .Some of the organic cotton is low impact dyed some is Natural grown colored from Peru, some is natural dyed.
