Our Commitment

Having a deep understanding of the state of the garment industry, we are well aware of the impact that fast fashion and substandard manufacturing has on both our environment and society. When conceptualizing our business, we knew we wanted to use all we have learned to help be a catalyst for change in the industry. 

We have a long way still to go and are committed to getting there. Here are some of the commitments we have already made:

NF USED PROGRAM

We build all of our garments to the highest standards of manufacturing after rigorous testing on some of the toughest terrain in the world; however, eventually all garments will become damaged, go “out of style” or find themselves in the back of a closet. We exchange these garments for credit and bring them new life in our factory. After disinfecting and passing inspection we photograph the products and post them up for adoption here! New items added frequently so make sure to check back or sign up for notifications on special releases here

Environmental Sustainability

We are committed to reducing waste in all areas of our operations, from production process to operations. 

Some of the ways we are doing our part are:

- Bringing new life to used garments through the NF Used program.

- Recycling off-cuts and fabric scraps into Punching "heavy" Bags

- Turing fabric scraps into rags for bike mechanics.

- Erasing our carbon footprint by funding companies leading the charge on change.

MATERIALS

merino wool

Merino wool is one of the world's most versatile fibers. The performance benefits are plentiful which makes it one of our favorite fabrics for outdoor gear while at the same time it is one of the most eco-friendly textiles. Our merino is 100% natural so the garment is completely biodegradable at the end of its life.

Recycled Poly

30,000,000,000 is the number of plastic bottles to date that companies focused on taking care of other earth have recycled into materiels used in textliles, athletic footwear, and more. We are happy to say we have and will continue to contribute to that growing number and latch on to new tech as it emerges.

Hemp

What’s not to like about hemp? Nothing! The most durable natural occurring fiber makes it an ideal fabric for long lasting, daily wear. The hemp plant is a fast growing, renewable plant that is grown in many regions of the world. The processing procedure uses less water than cotton and can be done without the use of harmful chemicals.
