As part of the ethos of this capsule, the company transforms [cutting scraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allbirds-remix) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-knits-collection) cotton, known for its extra-long staple fibers that remain comparatively long and strong even after mechanical processing.
