Eco -Fr i end l y The EcoSmart Collection isn’t only trendy—its sweatshirts and hoodies are closet staples, and ones that’ll be well- received by end users. The sweatshirts are made to fit just below the wearer’s natural waistline, while high-stitch density ensures the garment will last longer without piling. But in addition, all EcoSmart products have helped keep nearly 50 million plastic bottles from the world’s landfills each year.

Hanes/Champion / PPAI 191138, S10 www.hanes.com Crafted with quality, comfort and eco-consciousness as a focus, the Eco Chunky Cable Poncho is made using 75-percent recycled cotton and 25-percent polyester made from recycled materials. This made-in-the-USA poncho, available in one-size-fits-all, is also timeless, in that it’s great as a transition garment for cool summer nights or brisk autumn days. Color options include hemp, black, aluminum (shown), charcoal and milk. In2Green / PPAI 748975, S1 / www.in2green.com A bestseller, the Afternoon Hoodie got its name from being the “definition of afternoon delight,” according to Marine Layer. The hoodie is made from a blend of 50-percent, USA- sourced Supina cotton and 50-percent Micro Modal—which is sourced from sustainably grown beechwood trees—for a resulting hand feel that’s so soft, it’s compared to a cloud. And with plenty of room for a bold brand message, you can’t go wrong with a repurposed product that packs a (green) punch.
