Materials of Product

Avocado stitches their Fleece Roll Cuff Short Sleeve Sweatshirt from eco-friendly Austrian Lenzing-certified modal. Modal is ethically sourced from beech tree pulp and is a more environmentally friendly alternative since beech trees require little water to thrive and the production process consumes 10 to 20% less water than cotton. It’s also manufactured using a closed-loop process, which repurposes 99% of the non-toxic solvent used during production and recycles expended water. The Fleece Roll Cuff Short Sleeve Sweatshirt is also made from resilient, extra-long cotton where Supima cotton farmers are committed to growing high-quality cotton that has as little impact on the environment as possible. Plus, it is biodegradable and does not release micro-plastics into waterways.
