This gilet is light, soft and warm, with an outer fabric, padding and lining made entirely from recycled polyester. The gilet is fastened with a two-way zipper that reaches up to the stand-up collar with a panel underneath, and the sleeve openings are finished with elastic piping. The vest is equipped with two side slit pockets with zippers, two inside pockets at the front and a large open inside pocket at the back, into which an additional inside pocket with a zipper is inserted. The cut of the vest is rather close to the body.

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.
