This jacket combines sporty chic with functionality. The outer fabric, just like the lining and the filling, is made entirely of recycled polyester. The filling is PrimaLoft®, a down-like material that effectively insulates against the cold while being feather-light and water-repellent. External cross-stitching ensures that the warm filling stays securely in place. The dense outer fabric, the full-length two-way zipper, the hood with an elastic trim, and the sleeves with elastic cuffs provide excellent protection against wind and weather. Two concealed side pockets with zippers and two inside pockets hold small everyday items.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
