KOTN Women's Easy Crew - shrink in wash?

Does anyone have the KOTN Women's Easy Crew?

I'm wondering if it shrinks, a few years ago I got the box crew unisex and it shrank an entire size, this is with the cold water wash, so if I want to get the right size I in fact have to size up pre-wash. I'm not sure if they changed anything in their manufacturing in regards to pre-wash, shrinkage, sizing, etc.

Thanks!

Looking for warm comfortable mens winter clothing (non-plastic) brands!

I'm looking to buy some new winter clothing made without plastic. I'm not too picky on the visual aspect I just want them to be extremely comfortable. Mainly for wearing around the house and going grocery shopping and such.

With it being winter (around 40F during day) I find that most my clothing I am still cold and that ones that do keep me warm enough are usually polyester. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!

Some of the brands I wear now are Paka, roark, duer, passenger, prana, patagonia. vivobarefoot, etc.

Help Launch an Innovative Clothing Brand Integrating Fashion, Crypto and NFT's!

Hey Reddit!

I’m working on something truly groundbreaking—a high-end clothing brand that merges luxury fashion with cutting-edge technology, integrating Cryptocurrencies and NFTs!

This project is about more than just clothing—it’s about integrating innovative tech into an ecosystem that offers exclusive perks and opportunities for our supporters and investors, setting a new standard in how fashion and technology intersect.

Right now, we’re in the early stages of development and raising funds to cover initial production, branding, and the creation of the technology that will bring this vision to life. We’ve also laid out several rollout stages designed to attract supporters and investors while ensuring long-term sustainability for: the clothing brand, NFT's and Cryptocurrency.

While we’re keeping the finer details under wraps for now to protect our idea, here’s what I can say: it’s bold, innovative, and unlike anything the fashion and tech worlds have seen before with more to be shared! Your support—whether it’s through a donation, a share, or feedback—means everything to us.

Every contribution brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality. If you’re excited to see what the future of fashion and technology and more specifically what Crypto and NFT's can do with a fashion brand, We'd love for you to check out our GoFundMe:

YOUR CLOTHES DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE!! Not your EX!!

Looking good doesn't have to come at the Earth's expense. Let's embrace sustainable fashion - a style that's both stylish and planet-friendly.

By choosing secondhand treasures and supporting ethical brands, we can express our individuality while minimizing our environmental impact. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Water Intensive: Producing a cotton shirt uses 700 gallons of water; jeans require 2,000 gallons. Water Pollution: Textile dyeing heavily pollutes water sources. Resource Depletion: Leather production consumes significant land, water, and resources. Energy Intensive: Cotton cultivation relies heavily on pesticides.

It's time to redefine fashion, one pre-loved piece at a time.

Let's normalize thrifting so much that when you get a compliment "I LOVE THAT!" you confidently reply "THANKS, I THRIFTED IT!!!"

Can anyone shed light on how the pieces fit, specifically the long sleeve tees and regular tees?

How to fix a fabric that is too soft

(Firstly I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask ) So I'm a muslim and wears hijab, most of my hijab are made from cotton fabric ( here we call it cotton voile, u can just think of it as a fabric cut into a square shape ) i love the material but overtime the fabric will be too soft. If I were to soak my fabric in some kind of starch mix will it stiffen and maintain the flowiness or will it be stiff like those jeans people starch on tiktok that can literally stand on its own? Cause i dont want it to be that stiff 😆

How many items do I ACTUALLY need when switching from pile of synthetic garbage to high quality & natural fibers?

I struggle with my wardrobe. In the past, I bought mostly fast fashion due to budget and I want to change that.

Now I work at a thrift shop and have a little more cash, so I want to replace my pile of trash with sustainable, good quality items that will last a long time from there. I also refuse to buy plastic stuff anymore so we're talking natural fibers. I found a cashmere sweater this week!

That leaves me with a completely new problem; how much stuff does one actually reasonably need when you have good things that don't fall apart? My rebuy schedule was previously mostly based on replacing worn out stuff.

Now I have no idea how many times one can wear this sweater I thrifted before it turns gross and wants to be washed, for example. So I don't know how many of them I need to be warm all winter in between doing laundry. But since I intend to thrift, I need a number so I don't buy too much when I find some in store that fits or pass up on it when I need it! I can't just decide I need a new one on a whim.

Categories I'm mostly wondering about is jeans, sweaters, coats.

Thank you!

Affordable stores to shop from

Quick context : I’m (19F) in university and I save about 200 pounds a year to buy clothes for back to school. For the past few years I prioritized quantity over quality buying from shein, PLT , cider etc and honestly it isn’t cutting it anymore . I don’t like how my clothes feel over time and I’m deciding to make a switch to buying sustainable clothing . I have only 200 pounds and want to get quality essentials : From Uniqlo to Theory to Organic Basics I’ve searched a lot and can’t really fit up to 5 pieces into my price point. I’d love some recommendations!

What is Sustainable Fashion Software and Why It’s Key to a Greener Future

The fashion industry is undergoing a major transformation as it faces growing pressure to address its environmental and social impact. Sustainable fashion software is emerging as a powerful tool to help brands, manufacturers, and retailers adopt more eco-friendly and ethical practices. Here’s a breakdown of what it is and why it’s vital for a greener future.

What is Sustainable Fashion Software?

Sustainable fashion software is a suite of digital tools and platforms designed to streamline and enhance sustainability efforts in the fashion supply chain. These tools focus on optimizing resource usage, improving transparency, and promoting ethical practices throughout a product’s lifecycle.

Key features often include:

• Material Tracking: Ensuring raw materials are sourced responsibly and meet sustainability standards.
• Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Managing the design, production, and distribution processes to minimize waste.
• Supply Chain Transparency: Mapping and monitoring supply chains to ensure fair labor practices and reduce environmental impact.
• Sustainability Metrics: Measuring carbon footprint, water usage, and other key performance indicators.
• Circularity Planning: Enabling reuse, recycling, or upcycling of materials to extend product life.

Why is it Key to a Greener Future?

1. Reducing Environmental Impact: Fashion is one of the most resource-intensive industries, contributing to pollution, water waste, and carbon emissions. Sustainable fashion software helps brands adopt greener processes, such as reducing material waste and optimizing energy use during production.
2. Enhancing Transparency: Consumers demand accountability from brands regarding their environmental and social impact. These tools offer real-time insights into the supply chain, helping companies track compliance and share transparent data with stakeholders.
3. Promoting Circularity: By designing products with reuse and recyclability in mind, sustainable fashion software supports the transition to a circular economy. Brands can reduce reliance on virgin resources and minimize waste sent to landfills.
4. Meeting Regulatory and Market Demands: Governments worldwide are introducing stricter regulations on sustainability. Fashion software helps brands stay compliant while also appealing to a growing base of eco-conscious consumers.
5. Cost Savings and Efficiency: Optimizing resource usage and reducing waste through software can lead to significant cost savings for companies, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.

Examples of Sustainable Fashion Software in Action

• Material Libraries: Digital repositories that provide access to certified sustainable fabrics and materials.
• AI-Powered Forecasting: Tools that predict demand to prevent overproduction and reduce deadstock.
• Blockchain Integration: Platforms using blockchain to verify ethical sourcing and fair labor practices.
• Carbon Footprint Calculators: Software to measure and offset emissions during production and shipping.

Challenges and the Road Ahead

While sustainable fashion software is a step in the right direction, adoption is not without challenges:

• Cost of Implementation: Small businesses may struggle to invest in new technologies.
• Data Gaps: Incomplete or inaccurate data can limit the effectiveness of these tools.
• Industry Collaboration: True sustainability requires collaboration across the supply chain, which can be complex and time-consuming.

Despite these hurdles, the adoption of sustainable fashion software is critical to achieving a more ethical and environmentally friendly fashion industry.

Conclusion

Sustainable fashion software is reshaping how the fashion industry operates, making it possible to address environmental concerns while improving efficiency and transparency. By investing in these tools, brands can not only reduce their environmental impact but also build trust with consumers and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market. For the industry to thrive in a greener future, embracing digital solutions for sustainability is no longer optional—it’s essential.

How to make cheap clothing I already own look better?

Like many others I’ve bought a lot of Shein clothing during the pandemic. Back then I was fine with how it looked, but over time my style developed and I began to understand the importance of quality and a proper fit… So now I have a bunch of clothing that I don’t wear, because it just looks bad and cheap. I don’t want to throw it away, as it feels incredibly wasteful and also I still like the design of most of the pieces. Just not the quality/fit. Charity shops around me don’t accept Shein clothing anymore either.

I’m looking for hacks to make the clothes look better! I’m fine with DIY or repurposing pieces. I just don’t want to throw it all away. I mostly have dresses, pants, shirts and sweaters lying around.

I have tailored some of the ill-fitting pieces, but the majority of the old clothes I own still look cheap due to the material. I know you can soak wigs in laundry softener to make them look nicer, is there anything I can do for clothing?

Best brands to thrift

When I need a new piece of clothing, I always try to buy used first. But because I don't spend a lot of time in physical stores, I don't have a sense of which brands are still making high-quality clothing.

I tend to stick with Eileen Fisher and older LL Bean when I buy used but I'd like to try some other vetted brands.

They are a small batch, natural fiber, ethically made company that seems to be sustainable. Their styling is definitely basics and not super trendy.

They have 100% cotton options. The tops I’ve ordered have been a nice heavy weight. Not tissue thin. I also like that things are relatively inexpensive (less than $100 for most items).

unreturned items. sell, return for credit, or donate?

hello! i'm wondering what's the most sustainable way to deal with returns past the due date.

adhd and returns do not mix well. my method so far has been to just not buy at all unless i absolutely want or need the thing. growing up frugal i already have that down.

however, recently i had to get gifts for a friend. i have so much trouble deciding in store, i bought various things and fooled myself into thinking i'll return what i didn't use.

now a lot of stuff is past the return date. i'm wondering what the most sustainable option is. i'm worried that what i return won't get put back on the floor. i tried googling what stores put returns in the garbage/landfill or actually put them back and i'm not sure. it's all in good, unused condition but some of it is holiday themed.

i'm wondering if i should return for store credit, sell it online so i know it's going in somebody's hands, or donate where it could still potentially end up in the landfill or at savers/value village which is for profit.

i'm also trying to mind my wallet in all this. i'm thinking of donating the stuff, taking the loss and not doing this again. idk.

Why sustainable fashion is important? Which companies are providing Software for sustainable development

Sustainable fashion is crucial for addressing the environmental, social, and economic challenges posed by the traditional fashion industry. Here’s why:

1. Environmental Impact Reduction:
   • The fashion industry is the second-largest polluter globally, responsible for excessive water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and textile waste. Sustainable fashion minimizes these impacts by using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and adopting sustainable production processes.
2. Ethical Labor Practices:
   • Many fast fashion brands rely on exploitative labor practices. Sustainable fashion supports ethical supply chains, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and labor rights.
3. Resource Conservation:
   • The production of textiles like cotton and synthetic fibers consumes vast amounts of natural resources. Sustainable fashion promotes using renewable and recycled materials, reducing reliance on finite resources.
4. Support for Circular Economy:
   • By focusing on reuse, repair, and recycling, sustainable fashion encourages a circular economy, reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of clothing.
5. Consumer Demand for Transparency:
   • Modern consumers demand transparency in how their clothes are made. Sustainable fashion addresses this by ensuring traceability and showcasing eco-friendly practices.
6. Alignment with Global Goals:
   • Sustainable fashion contributes to global initiatives like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on responsible consumption, decent work, and climate action.

Companies Providing Software for Sustainable Development in Fashion

Several companies provide software solutions tailored to promoting sustainability in the fashion industry. These solutions enable transparency, efficiency, and environmental responsibility across the supply chain. Here’s an overview:

1. WFX (World Fashion Exchange)

• Offerings: WFX provides cloud-based software tailored for fashion brands, manufacturers, and retailers. Their solutions include:
  • Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for sustainable product design.
  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for efficient resource management.
  • Tools for tracking sustainable sourcing, production processes, and supply chain transparency.
• Focus: Helps companies implement sustainable practices by optimizing operations and enabling traceability.

2. SAP

• Offerings: SAP provides solutions like SAP Product Footprint Management and SAP Fashion Management to measure and manage the environmental impact of fashion products.
• Focus: Integrates sustainability metrics into enterprise processes to enhance efficiency and reduce ecological footprints.

3. Higg Co

• Offerings: The Higg Index, a suite of tools for assessing the social and environmental impact of materials, facilities, and products.
• Focus: Empowers brands to make data-driven decisions to improve sustainability.

4. TrusTrace

5. Fairly Made

6. Ecochain

• Focus: Provides real-time data on environmental impact across production processes.

7. TextileGenesis

• Focus: Ensures authenticity and compliance with sustainability standards.

8. Circular.Fashion

• Focus: Encourages the reuse and recycling of garments to reduce waste.

9. Lectra

• Focus: Optimizes material use and reduces environmental impact during production.

10. WGSN (World Global Style Network)

• Offerings: Provides trend forecasting and insights focused on sustainable materials and practices.
• Focus: Helps brands align with emerging sustainability trends.

Why Software Solutions Are Essential

1. Supply Chain Transparency:
   • Software solutions like WFX and TrusTrace enable brands to track materials, ensure compliance, and provide transparency to consumers.
2. Resource Optimization:
   • Tools like SAP and Ecochain help companies optimize their use of resources, minimizing waste and energy consumption.
3. Consumer Trust:
   • Platforms like TextileGenesis build trust by verifying the sustainability claims of materials and products.
4. Regulatory Compliance:
   • As environmental laws tighten, software helps brands adhere to new standards and avoid penalties.
5. Scalability:
   • Software like WFX allows even large-scale operations to integrate sustainable practices seamlessly.

By leveraging these technologies, fashion companies can enhance sustainability, meet consumer expectations, and contribute to a healthier planet.

Huge sale at “sustainable” amour vert

It’s not that they’re exactly non-sustainable and I do think they were one of the first American made stores focusing on sustainability for the younger generations but I have been less and less impressed with Amour Vert quality, larger batch/over consumption, and trendiness over the years. I’m sure it’s telling that they’re doing this but they are having a ridiculous sale. Everything is $20. I see posts all the time where people are looking for more affordable more sustainable options and it might be a good place to start. It was the first brand I turned to a decade ago as I transitioned into sustainable fashion and I still think it’s a great place to get items from secondhand.

I've been getting my pants from Walmart and I'm sick of it. They fall apart within a few months and sometimes they have those stupid fake pockets. Thimg is, I don't know where else to get them. I really hate clothes shopping because it's so hard to find stuff that fits me, so I've never really looked anywhere else for pants. I honestly have no idea where even to start.

100% cotton cardigan

I am currently am learning about fabric materials,etc. I am getting annoyed with how quickly my marshalls/burlington cardigans last. After 2 washes it is completely pilled.

I am at the point where I'd rather spend a little more and have it last a long time.

Looking to buy a 100% cotton cardigan. Any advice on where to purchase?

I've been looking at goodwill but haven't found anything with cotton yet.

Is 100% cotton the best in terms of it not pilling quickly? I understand piling happens on most clothes, but I don't like it looking horrible after only a few washes.

I'm only looking for cotton as I know i am not the person to be handwashing their clothes.But I will air dry!

The Use of AI in Sustainability Initiatives

Before I begin, I'd like to state that I fully appreciate the environmental effect of the use of resources required to power AI. However, I think at some point there has to be a net value. I'm working on an aggregator for ethical and sustainable fashion brands and while I don't believe in chucking AI capabilities into products that would be just fine without them(I don't currently plan on employing AI, no use for it), we as founders have to calculate if using a specific AI/ML capability still results in a net positive sustainable value. There are many variables when it comes to determining something like this. I'm definitely not familiar with most of them, however, part of the reason why sustainable fashion is growing slowly rather than quickly is the intransigence of innovators in the space to adopt these emerging technologies without determining if using them creates significant value for their users and an overall net positive sustainable value for the environment. There has to be a way to determine this or sustainable fashion will miss the train on innovation...again.

Not affiliated with Laude, and thus was my first perchase from them, just was nice to communicate with a real person and get such a fast and good response.

I'd like to make second hand selling easier and faster.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m working on an app to make selling clothes online quicker and easier. You snap a photo of your item, and the app generates the price estimate, description, title, condition, color—everything you need to list it.

The idea is to help extend the life of clothes and reduce waste by making secondhand selling as simple as possible. The app even automates posting to platforms to save you even more time.

I’ll have a test version ready in a few days—would anyone here be interested in trying it out and sharing feedback?

School project on sustainablilty

I’ve been assigned a big school project, which feels more like an experiment. I see this as a great opportunity for me and my friends. We have to come up with a sustainable business idea. By that, I don’t mean producing clothes from 100% cotton, etc. We need to find ways to recycle something and create a product or service out of it.

The bank will provide us with a loan, but it’s not big enough to start something like a café, so you can imagine our budget. They’ve told us it should be something we’re interested in. I’m interested in clothes and furniture, but it doesn’t have to be limited to those.

We’ve thought about a thrift store, but everyone’s doing that, and we can’t think of a way to make it more creative. We also considered e-bikes for the city, but that’s out of our budget.

If you have any ideas for a sustainable recycling business, please let us know!

How do we feel about Japanese polyester?

I was looking at Ministry of Supply and it seems like they are all overpriced polyester, so I'm still on the hunt for quality business clothes that I can afford that will actually fit my petite frame and my style. Why is this so hard???

However, some of their clothes were listed as Japanese polyester which had a note that it was made from corn and not an oil byproduct. I did a little bit of research and it looks like PLA is real and not just scammy language.

It must be better than original polyester. But, it's probably not as sustainable as cotton or linen? I'm not really sure how the creation of this fabric stacks up against other textile production. Thought I would reach out to see y'all had any thoughts.

Lunar New Year!!

Happy 2025 everyone! As some of you might know, Lunar New Year (or sometimes just called Chinese New Year in Chinese-dominant communities) is just around the corner, specifically on Jan 29 ;)

Traditionally, people get new outfits in lucky colours to celebrate the start of a whole new year. Nowadays, obviously it’s connected to consumerism and microtrends, with many brands coming out with CNY/LNY collections. I’m trying really hard to be mindful when getting something new - I want it to be something I really like + will rewear, optimally from a small local business, made from natural fibres and in limited quantities. (And I would also love a quality addition to my traditional wear collection!)

However obviously this is hard to achieve - many small businesses dropship/import from mass-producing manufacturers, so talk of ethical practices, production processes, and materials aren’t even on the table. There are also designers who claim that something is locally handmade, but materials might be a semi-synthetic blend or even 100% polyester.

Beautiful qipaos in the style I am looking for, and can see myself rewearing to other occasions, are mostly from Taobao/AliExpress - again, no mention of fabric quality, and is likely mass produced.

I am trying really hard to land on an optimal decision, because tbh there’s no perfect item to consume - but I still feed bad and am tied up between multiple choices, not helped by my lack of confidence in my own body shape.

Please let me know how anyone has accessed less-than-optimal options and had a decent outcome, and honestly any assurance that I am overthinking this is welcome too! TIA and sorry for the rant <3

Overwhelmed by Legging Journey

I really just want to find high waisted, black leggings, with pockets on each side, that are not polyester!

[ISO] Men's pants?

Pretty simple, I'm looking for sustainable men's pants that meet the following criteria:

• 100% organic material. Cotton, Hemp, Linen, wool(preferably washer safe), or a blend. I would also consider certified Tencel blends.
• High quality enough to last me for a while.
• Business casual. Nice Jeans, Chinos, etc. No sweatpants.
• Not slim fit. I've got athletic thighs and don't fit into slim.
• Absolutely no polyester. 1% spandex/elastane is a hard maybe.

Price isn't a huge concern, but less than $200 a pair would be nice.

Stuff I've tried:

Pact: their quality is awful and they use elastane.

Kotn: their fit is absurdly baggy.

Asket: I like the look and feel of their chino but it's a lint magnet. Also never in stock, so hard to actually purchase a pair.

Taylor Stitch: Love their shirts but their pants constantly rip at the seams.

Alex Crane: I have one pair of linen pants from them that I really like. Haven't worn them enough to speak to their durability though, and the pockets are a tad odd.

Thrifting: I do go thrifting once a month or so. Rarely find anything that's all organic material, fits me, and isn't some awful shade of beige/grey.

So, any recommendations for sustainable men's pants?

P.S. Also searching for sustainable 100% cotton underwear. That's been an fruitless mission.
