Anvil Announces Recycled T-shirt
New York based Anvil announced the launch of a new line of recycled cotton t-shirts to be unveiled this spring. While reclaimed might be a better name, the step is still impressive coming from such a large player in the blanks industry. The t-shirts are made from ground up fabric trimmings, which have been sorted by color and then re-spun into new material. The fact that the trimmings are already dyed (and sorted by color) allows Anvil to skip the dying process a second time around, although there is no word on what’s in the dyes during the original run. Anvil already has the distinction of being the first major manufacturer (excluding AA) to carry an organic cotton line, even if they do slightly resemble burlap in texture (albeit a very fine organic burlap). Shirts will be available in 9 colors, no word on exactly when they will hit shelves.
