The latest crew sock collection of Seattle-based Arvin Goods is made from 43% recycled polyester and 36% Recover recycled cotton fibre.

Madrid-headquartered Recover’s proprietary recycled fibre is one of the lowest-impact fibres available on the market, significantly reducing the carbon and water footprint of apparel. Manufacturing just one pair of Arvin Goods socks made with 36% Recover fibre is claimed to save up to 18 gallons of water compared to a pair made with conventional cotton.

“Our ongoing work with Arvin Goods was born out of a shared belief in the importance of circular fashion that never sacrifices quality, feel or style,” said Boris Mercier, SVP of marketing at Recover. “As the ingredient brand of reference in recycled cotton, we aim to enable consumers to make more conscious choices and accelerate the adoption of sustainable initiatives within the casual wear segment.”

As well as using low-impact impact recycled materials, the impact of transportation has also been minimised as a result of Recover’s strategic partnership with Ferre Yarns, based locally in Alicante, Spain.

“We have been working with Recover and the Ferre family of yarns since the beginning,” said Dustin Winegardner, managing partner. “Making it official like this and stamping the ‘R’ on our packaging is an exciting step for our brand. Being able to source materials in Spain and manufacture nearby in Portugal moves us further in our mission to delivering the cleanest basics on the planet.”

“Arvin makes products using our most Fblue recycled yarns based on Recover cotton which deliver the perfect combination of circularity, performance and colour accuracy,” added Paqui Ferre, sales and marketing director at Ferre.

The Arvin Goods recycled fibre collection starts at $12 and is available to purchase through the company’s website.
