If we've learned one thing in the last few years (aside from the fact that one should never use the shop's comfy chair as a pin cushion), it's that not all fleece is created equal. That's the sort of wisdom you acquire when your chosen vocation involves testing every kind imaginable. And so it is that after enough study to qualify for a Ph.D. in Fleeceology, we've identified the very best kind of fleece available.
It’s called BottleFleece™, and it’s made from 85% post-consumer recycled fibers obtained from plastic soda bottles and post industrial waste. Though it's a tad more complicated than we're making it sound, soda bottles are collected by recyclers, then shredded, melted, and extruded into fibers which then become ultra-plush fleece. There are about 2 one-liter bottles in every BottleFleece hat, and that works for us, especially when you consider the end result - a fabric that strikes a nearly perfect balance of superior softness, cozy warmth, and fun-proof durability.
