In-Depth Review
The Future of Sustainable Insulation
The Re-Down® Puffy Hoodie represents a significant milestone in Everlane’s commitment to eliminating virgin plastics and animal exploitation from their supply chain. While conventional down production often involves questionable animal welfare practices, this hoodie utilizes 100% recycled down plucked from used duvets and pillows. This circular approach ensures that high-quality insulation stays in use rather than heading to a landfill.
Technical Design and Utility
Beyond its eco-credentials, the jacket is designed for brutal winters. The outer shell is made from recycled polyester that has been treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. This ensures you stay dry without releasing 'forever chemicals' into the water system. The hoodie features a relaxed fit to allow for heavy layering, and it includes a functional hood and deep pockets lined with soft tricot for warmth.
| Material | Source | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Filling | Recycled Down/Feathers | Zero new animal input |
| Shell | 100% Recycled Polyester | Durable and water-resistant |
| Hardware | Recycled Plastic/Metal | Reduced virgin resource use |
Ethical Manufacturing Standards
Everlane audits its factories based on fair wages, reasonable hours, and safe working environments. The Re-Down line specifically highlights the brand's shift toward circularity. By utilizing the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), every step of the recycling process is tracked to ensure the material is truly post-consumer waste.
We believe customers have a right to know what their clothes cost to make and where they come from. That’s why we share the true cost behind every product we make.
