| Are Cagoule Fleece products really made from...recycled plastic!?!? |
| |
You betcha. But you'd never know it. Recycled soda bottles, milk jugs and other products are washed, sorted, melted down and spun into a soft recycled filament that's used in carpets, pillows, and our hats and gear! That's why we can say with a straight face that no wild fleeces are ever harmed in the making of our products... |
| Okay, I'm stumped. Just what the heck does "Cagoule" mean? |
| |
A cagoule is an old-style waterproof pullover. You don't see them around much anymore but in the pioneer days of outdoor adventuring they kept many a mountaineer and river rafter warm and dry. When we first started out we produced a few of these traditional garments and, well...the name just kinda stuck. |
| So, can I wash this stuff myself or will I be bankrupted by dry cleaning bills? And does it shrink? |
| |
Wash away, dear friends because BottleFleece is so easy to care for that even the most domestically inept individuals (and that would be us) can keep them looking good. Just toss them into any washing machine set on cold or warm, and dry them in any dryer on the air or low setting. No dry cleaning. And no, they won't shrink. And more money for lift tickets and beer. |
| What's the remaining ingredient in your material besides the recycled content? |
| |
Polyester, baby. Pure polyester. There's a small amount of polyester in each of the materials to lend a softer hand and a smoother finish. |
| Who makes your stuff and where do they make it? |
| |
Cagoule Fleece products are produced in 1 of 3 locations. Most of the items are cut, sewn, tagged and shipped in Portland, OR. The scarves are made in San Diego, CA. The gloves and mittens are made in Sri Lanka. Glove production is beyond our cutting and sewing capabilities, so we outsourced the production to a factory in Sri Lanka. On each product page, you can see where your item was made by scrolling down to 'Additional information'. |
| Why are most pencils yellow? |
| |
The emergence of the color yellow as the preferred and predominant pencil paint occurred in the 1890's courtesy of the Koh-I-Noor pencil company. At the time, the Koh-I-Noor pencil people made what most considered to be America's premium pencils. Because the company painted their product yellow, the color became positioned in the minds of a pencil-pushing populace as a prominent sign of preeminent quality. Soon most other pencil purveyors began permanently painting their products yellow to make a parallel promotional point with the public. (And you thought all we knew about was fleece...) |
