There’s a world of reasons why sustainable swimwear reigns supreme. Regular swimwear production is a drain on our natural resources that took millions of years to form. 

That’s why we use recycled polyester in our mens swim shorts. By breathing new life into old waste materials, we're not just reducing waste which would otherwise go to landfill, we're also preserving our invaluable natural resources.

Our swimming shorts aren’t just good for the planet, they also have luxurious comfort and high performance. Quick-drying and crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our eco-friendly swim shorts offer a level of softness that rivals traditional materials. So, whether you're relaxing by the pool or catching the next wave, you're not just making a stylish and practical choice, you're making a planet-friendly one too.

One of the most sustainable swimwear fabrics is recycled polyester. Recycled polyester, or rPET, has earned a B grade in the Made-By sustainable fabric ranking, positioning it on par with organic cotton as a recognised sustainable fabric. That’s why we’ve opted for recycled polyester for our mens swim shorts, coupled with the fabrics durability, comfort, quick-drying nature and overall high performance.

When it comes to luxury swimwear, using the ultimate sustainable fabrics can be tricky. By its nature swimwear requires the garment to  not hold water, which is more difficult with natural fibres - they’re absorbent and often lose shape when wet.

We’re aware that recycling polyester is only a step in the right direction, not the ultimate solution so we’re constantly on the hunt for even greener fabrics and manufacturing innovations of the future. 

To make our luxury eco-friendly swim shorts, we begin by using recycled polyester fabric. Using recycled polyester has the advantage of reducing landfill, and also reduces CO2 emissions by 20.7% compared to its counterparts.

Next up is the printing stage. We're fully aware that some garment-making processes can harm our planet. That's why we keep a close eye on industry advancements and collaborate closely with our manufacturers. Currently, we've adopted Nebulization Dyeing for our plain swimming shorts, slashing water usage by 90% without compromising on dyeing quality.

For our patterned swim shorts, we employ sublimation printing, a more eco-friendly approach. This method involves printing the design onto paper with ink, then transferring it onto the fabric using heat, entirely water-free. Plus, all the paper used is recycled, making the entire process a zero-waste endeavour.

Speaking of zero waste, even the off-cuts are put back into production meaning that there’s 100% zero waste on our swim short production.
