Fabric to finish

Impact is not a certificate at the end of the line. It is four stages, measured per style against a 2019 baseline — and reported whether or not the numbers flatter us.

01
Fabric

Yarn, dyeing, weaving
- −38% Water in dyeing
- 41% Indigo re-used
- ΔE 0.6 Shade tolerance
02
Cut & Sew

Markers, panels, assembly
- −12% Fabric waste
- 89% Marker efficiency
- Laser Panel cutting
03
Wash

Desizing to finish
- −94% Water per garment
- Zero Pumice stones
- Ozone Instead of bleach
04
Finish

Press, trim, quality
- −61% Energy in drying
- Solvent-free Coatings & trims
- Repair-first Quality control

Figures from verified programmes 2021–2026, measured with the Higg MSI and ZDHC wastewater limits.

Methodology

How we arrive at the numbers.

2019 baseline: Each programme is compared against the conventional process for the same style family, using 2019 as the fixed reference year.
Higg MSI: Material impacts are assessed with the Higg Materials Sustainability Index so that fabric choices can be compared on a common basis.
ZDHC wastewater limits: Wet-process results are checked against the ZDHC wastewater guideline, so that lower water use does not hide a more concentrated discharge.
Per style, not per factory: We report by style because that is the unit a brand can act on. A factory average hides the washes that cost the most.
