Bergman's Pima Cotton circa 1986

In their own word "The world's slowest factory in the world"

To some people, agriculture is a slow business. In reality, it is a face paced business with new situations to deal with everyday. Bergman's cotton take 9 months from spewing to harvest time, and this period is filled with hard work, culminating at harvest time.

Our organic Pima cotton lends itself brilliantly to this knitted classic, which will always be a part of the Bergman's collection. The cut is a bit on the slim side for a contemporary appearance, while the colours are as classic as they ever where.

WASTE not want not

Although the concept of buy and sell in vintage fashion is nothing new, west coast staple Wasteland has created a formula all their own. With stores in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Burbank and even San Francisco, fashionistas, rockers, and trend setters alike frequent each location. So with the abundance of vintage clothing stores these days one has to ask what makes Wasteland such a success. . . the answer quite simply is the fact that the owners insist on only buying and selling quality designs and materials. Wasteland offers fashion that has Sustainable Swagger and can truly stand the test of time.

Neckties and Textiles Made From Recycled Cassette Tapes, Sounds Dope!

I thought you might find this one pretty interesting. Sonic Fabric has created textiles made out of recycled cassette tapes.

Sonic fabric emits sound when you run a tape head (the little thingy inside the tape deck that touches the tape) over it. Because the tape retains its magnetic quality through the weaving process, it acts as a big wide band of tape.

They had no idea when they first conceived of this project that the fabric would be "listenable"... the point for them was just to get as many of of their all-time favorite sounds onto the recording. So Sonic Fabric made a collage of layered samples from their collection using an analog 4-track recorder. When you run the tape head over the fabric you are reading 4 or 5 strands of tape at once ... in other words, 16 or 20 tracks all mixed together.

It sounds kind of like scratching a record backwards or radio static.

Get SUST!

As the world moves toward a greener lifestyle SUST will meet you there to hook you up with ultra-cool and modern Eco-Basics. SUST is more than just brand claiming to do good they work with local manufactures and the highest quality of U.S. grown organic cotton.

Here is a lil' eco-chat I had Tristan Gribbin the Creator of the SUST Brand;

Eco Hustler: How did SUST come to life?

Tristan Gribbin: In January 2000 I did a nine day spiritual meditation retreat which was very powerful. One thing I got from it was the name and the concept for SUST which came to me in a lightning bolt revelation. The name SUST is short for "sustainable" and a play on the British slang word "sussed" which means, according to the Oxford English dictionary: well-informed, street-wise, in the know, "cool".

My partner Marion McKee and I were told back then that the world wasn't ready for organic clothing so the idea went on the back burner. In 2007, however, the magazines were all going nuts over Green, Eco fashion and there were still only a very few pioneering companies supplying organic apparel. We decided to jump in, since it was still early days in the great scheme of things. Our friends Scott Leonard, CEO of Indigenous Designs www.indigenousdesigns.com and his partner Matt Reynolds had already created an innovative business model for an organic+fair trade clothing company fourteen years ago, way ahead of the pack. Scott signed on from day one as our mentor. Scott, Marion, Matt and I had all been friends since junior high school days in Palo Alto. We joined forces with another Palo Altan, Kevin Baum a 20 year veteran in the apparel company, our new CEO. Now we have an amazing team to take SUST into the future, with deep roots in the sustainability space.

EH: With a background as an actress do you find people not taking you serious as a designer and environmentalist, as if you are just following trends?

TG: Sustainability is not a trend to me. I've been aware of the movement for organic food since I was a child - I grew up in walking distance from California's first health food store in Palo Alto, California. My Dad was a radical hippie who worked on the Rainbow Warrior, helped make radiation detectors and solar panels on The Farm, and was a serious anti-nuclear activist. This movement is in my blood, and I have a lifelong passion for it. I also had the good fortune to work with Paul Hawken at the Natural Capital Institute. Developing SUST has brought me deeper into this movement in a powerful way.

EH: What can the fashion industry learn from new eco-conscious brands like Sust?

TG: That choosing organic fabrics is a choice that can be made for the greater good, and also for the good of your own brand's image.

EH: What advice would have to offer a non-green person?

TG: Get SUST!
