What fabric is the shiny / metallic looking tops made from? Wonder if it's metal like some of LeU's or if it's synthetic.
Also, I just bought a double layered tee from them made from tencel. Didn't know what it was so when I brought it home and looked it up I discovered it's wood pulp. Super cozy, seems to breathe well, and sustainable. Will report on how it holds up.

Looks awesome and incredibly comfy! I'm a big fan of the bottoms and layering. The overall urban/street feel has always been a + for me when it comes to SFTM. Not particularly fond of the photography as it's a bit hard to see the silhouettes, but that's just me.
Great work M. and team!

Well, from what I've read about lyocell or Tencel (being the specific name for that companies lyocell) is made from wood pulp and is actually not that harsh of a process to make the fiber and textiles themselves. It's the fact that it isn't easy to dye because of it's low surface density and has a tendency to pill that creates more of an issue for the environment. In any case, I feel like most/all clothing goes through that chemical gamut and if the source of the material is in a better state then it's a step in the direction that can get people on board with improving the state of things.
Don't get me wrong. I have no illusions about fashion or clothing being good for the ecosystem. It's like factory organic farming. It is so far away from what the concept of sustainable and organic came from, but at the same time it is leaps and bounds better than conventional chemical farming. I'll take a baby step over throwing in the towel any day.
