Sourcing and Materials
At Live Work Play we've taken substantial steps to reducing our climate impact and it starts with our processes and ingredients we use in our garments. Sustainability means responsible and ethical innovation. We engineer products by making every decision with the highest regard for the environment.
The fashion industry is the world's second larget polluter, right behind the oil industry. Our garments are ethically made, sustainably sourced, and built to last. At Live Work Play we believe wardrobe staples shouldn't come with expiration dates.
Our design team engineered a custom fabric blended with eco-friendly modal and organic combed and ring-spun cotton. The end result is a durable light weight fabric that is very soft, drapes well, resists creasing, and has a smooth lustrous finish.
Modal is a natural man-made fiber sourced from sustainable beech tree farms. The wood fibers are pulped into liquid form and then drained through tiny holes, creating the fibre. This is then woven together to make the modal fabric.
Modal is known as one of the softest fabrics in the world, 50% more moisture absorbant then cotton, and notorious for being silky smooth and cool to the touch.
Made with natural pigments and chemical-free dyes, colors inside Modal fabric stay bright and concentrated deep within the fibers while being gentle to your skin.
Unlike fully synthetic fibers, modal is biodegradable. This means, any clothing made with modal will return to the earth in your lifetime (but not, of course during your wearing it), whereas synthetic products like Polyester take hundreds of years to break down.
T-shirts described simply as "cotton" are made from less expensive, less refined open-end cotton.
Our "combed ringsun cotton" has been through several extra preparation steps such as a spinning process that softens and straightens each fiber and then combed to remove any impurities or imperfect strands. These extra steps create a much smoother, softer, and stronger cotton fibre resulting in better clothing.
By creating a custom fabric blend of modal and combed ring spun cotton we created an amazing material that is built to last. The end result is a quality t-shirt that feels better to wear and lasts much longer.
