Son of a Tailor, the Copenhagen-based menswear brand known for its made-to-order production model, has introduced a new collection called Re-Spun. As part of the ethos of this capsule, the company transforms cutting scraps from its Portuguese supply chain into high-quality garments.
Son of a Tailor's Re-Spun collection delivers the Cotton T-Shirt / Re-Spun and the Cotton Sweatshirt / Re-Spun. These garments represent over a year of research and development, during which the brand collected the scraps it needed from its own Cotton T-Shirts and Sweatshirts, and reprocessed them into recycled fiber for new garments. To maintain quality in the recycled textiles, Son of a Tailor leveraged its signature Supima cotton, known for its extra-long staple fibers that remain comparatively long and strong even after mechanical processing.
