Sustainable Progress

Our Values

We’re not here to tell you that buying a shirt will save the planet. Instead, we want to share our progress in building a more sustainable apparel company. Our work here is never complete.

We believe that owning less is the most effective way to reduce our footprint. Wool&Prince is founded on the idea that guys get more out of life when they have fewer things. Own less, own better, and get to the things you love doing. We think merino wool is the key to owning less clothing, since it remains fresher for longer compared to other fibers.

We also sponsor Only What Matters, an online community of people practicing thoughtful consumption and simple living. We discuss a variety of topics including living with less, travel, wool care, and wardrobe optimization.

 

 

In practice

Wool&Prince launched after our founder wore a wool shirt for 100 days straight without washing. He followed that up with wearing only 26 items for one year. We practice our less-is-more approach, it’s not something we simply talk about. And it's not just our founder either, 63% of our customers, based on a 2019 survey, have changed their laundry habits since making a purchase from Wool&Prince.

Washing and drying account for a surprisingly high percentage of a garment’s carbon footprint. And all this washing isn't easy on clothing either. Cleaning often breaks down a garment just as much, if not more than actual use. We encourage you to wear-more, wash-less. #everydaymerino

Facts
-AEG, a washing machine company, estimates that 90% of clothes washed aren’t actually dirty.
-Washing machines account for 17% of our home water usage and a quarter of a garment’s carbon footprint over the course of its lifetime comes from cleaning it.
-We don’t wear 80% of the clothes we own.
-We throw away 70 pounds of clothing and other textiles annually.

 

Our Materials
Wool! And it's renewable and biodegradable. When needed, we add other materials to the wool to increase durability (like in our tees, where we wrap two nylon filaments around a merino fiber core) or achieve a certain color (like our white shirts).

You can learn more about where our wool comes from here and here.

A recent improvement is the usage of recycled polyester in our woven product labels. It's a small victory, but we're always looking for materials with less impact and no compromise.


Decreasing Our Impact

Here's a glimpse at the initiatives we’ve completed and the projects we’re working on to reduce our impact on the environment.

Packaging
We’re proud to share that we are now using 100% PCW (post-consumer waste) FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified paper packaging for our garment wraps (belly bands). We love making the most sustainably viable decisions for our brand.

 

Natural Dye Collection
In the summer of 2019, we released our second batch of naturally dyed merino tees. The dyes—buckthorn, indigo, and iron—are as natural as the merino fibers themselves.

Buyback Program
Wool&Prince is testing a buyback program, similar to what Patagonia does with Wornwear.com.⁣ If you have a Wool&Prince item that has fallen out of the rotation, we’d love to give you Wool&Prince credit in exchange for the old garment. All you have to do is ship your Wool&Prince items to us and include your email address in the package so we can follow up with credit.⁣

100 Day Challenge
Expanding on the challenge that launched W&P, we now invite you to do your own 100-Day Challenge, or at least attempt one. We're convinced you could benefit from simplifying your morning routine, making “what to wear” the easiest question of your day. Read all about it here.
