Mens quilted jacket with hood

Warming, wind- and water-repellent jacket, whose hood can be closed high. All zippers are also water-repellent, in the sleeves inner cuffs with elastic keep the wind out. The outer fabric with the distinctive cross-stitching is made of recycled polyester from the Ecoalf ocean project and elastane for greater comfort. The lining and insulating fill are made entirely of recycled polyester. Two side pockets, one chest pocket and one inside pocket, all zippered, hold small items for everyday use. Without the detachable hood, the jacket has a stand-up collar that zippers up. The hood itself can be closed in the front by means of snaps up to the chin. The width of the hood opening and the torso hem can be regulated by drawstring.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
