Brand: Navy Grey Co
Style: The SWEATSHIRT - Vintage Fit
Together with Navy Grey, we crafted a range of timeless organic cotton sweatshirts that will last a lifetime. We selected a high-quality heavyweight fabric that was knitted only a few miles away from the garment factory near Porto. All the labels are made from organic cotton & the packaging is 100% recycled. To minimise environmental impact, these garments are also washed with an innovative waterless washing method. We work in small production runs, which ensures that there's little to no waste caused by overproduction.
