DETAILS

FABRIC:

34% Recycled Wool 34% Recycled Nylon 29% ECOVERO™ Viscose 2% Nylon 1% Elastane

Knitted into a textured wave pattern, this blend uses recycled fibres for a more environmentally-friendly alternative. The soft finish has a slightly fluffy surface, creating a cosy, comfortable garment.

Recycled wool is a low impact, circular fibre made from wool waste. Recycled nylon is a low impact, circular fibre made from post-industrial and post-consumer waste like plastic bottles. We choose to use recycled rather than new as part of our commitment to reduce waste and create more sustainable products.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibres are derived from sustainable wood and pulp, coming from certified and controlled sources.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres have been certified with the EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001) as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal. The manufacturing of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generates up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose. According to Higg MSI™ tools, CO2 emissions and fossil resource use are approximately half that of the industry average. A special manufacturing system enables LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres to be identified in the final product, even after long textile processing and conversion steps through the value chain.

ELK works with not-for-profit organisation Canopy to ensure that all their forest-based fabrics are responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry and preference those with a green shirt ranking according to the most current Canopy Style Hot Button Report. Their partnership with Canopy includes a commitment to ensure all of their viscose products have not been sourced from ancient and endangered forests. Their traceability systems confirm the viscose fibres in this garment are from green shirt rated producers.

ECOVERO™ viscose is a renewable and biodegradable fibre.

MAKE:

This knit was made in Dongguan, China by Cool Partners International who ELK have been working with since 2016. It was manufactured in the Dongguan Kinci Knitting Factory, established in 1992, which ELK have visited to see their items in production. Knitwear production is highly specialised and Cool Partners are actively working with ELK to source more sustainable yarns from progressive yarn mills such as UPW and Novetex.

The factory is a member of Sedex and undergoes regular social compliance audits.

FIT:

The Koda Sweater has a relaxed fit through the body with a boxy shape, along with a dropped shoulder and relaxed fitting sleeves opening into a bell shape. The key fit points are the bust, hem opening and length.

All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
