Hi,
My current toque is just getting too small. I want something a bit longer to protect my ears fully.
I’m really torn between 50% merino wool/50% cashmere and a blend of wool and acrylic/nylon.
I’m mostly looking for something sustainable, that will be worn for years and that it will not get wet if it rain or snow.
What do you recommend?
Thank you

i’ve already posted this in the ethical fashion subreddit and didn’t get any answers and so maybe folks will have more info here.
i know they operate in a way where they pay all of their employees the same amount which is lovely and i’ve heard good things about them in that regard. but i’ve heard mixed results about their quality of clothing and their manufacturing process.
does anyone have additional information? on their website they state that their clothing is made sweatshop labor free. but it’s actually a bit difficult for me to find information on their actual supply chain, at least on their website.
not to mention they seem to sell a lot of heavily discounted items, which is always a bit of a red flag to me personally. and i can’t seem to find them on any of the usual ethics checker websites i use to cross reference what i find on my own.
i’m new to figuring out more ethical fashion so there might be something i’ve missed here!

Which do you think is more sustainable and why?
I'm coming to the end of a year of not buying clothes (that was the intent: had to buy underwear, socks, bras, and a pair of shoes) and want to improve my wardrobe next year (also, my work wants us to wear a Christmas jumper during December and I dont own any, so im going to have to buy a secondhand one of those too).
My original intent had been to only buy second hand for the year, but now I'm wondering whether getting clothes made in my country (UK) would be more ethical due to supporting local businesses during a cost of living crisis.
I'm also thinking about materials. Second hand doesn't mean natural materials but does mean I'm keeping stuff out of landfill. Made in the UK for me typically means wool, linen, etc.
What do you think?
Hey friends!
Have you ever thought about where your clothes really come from—not just the factory, but the actual fibers themselves? I recently learned about Ayurkruti, a brand that makes fashion from plant-based fibers like banana, nettle, and even sugarcane—yes, real plants turned into soft, durable fabrics!
What’s cool is they don’t just stop at sustainable materials; they use traditional Ayurvedic methods to naturally dye and treat these fabrics, meaning no harsh chemicals, just nature’s goodness. Wearing their clothes feels like wrapping yourself in something good for your skin and good for Mother Earth.
Does anyone else feel that sustainability is more than just a buzzword when brands actually combine ancient wisdom with modern eco-friendly textile techniques? I’d love to hear your thoughts or if you’ve tried plant-based fiber fabrics like these!
