Vollebak Garbage Sweater
Firefighter suits and bulletproof vests are made to be extremely tough. Unfortunately, that same toughness makes them hard to get rid of, and not easy to recycle — 500 tons of fire suits are thrown away every year, and that's just in France. Which is where the Garbage Sweater is created. It's made from recycled materials: 70% firefighter suits and 30% bulletproof vests. The result is a garment that is comfortable, soft, fireproof, and abnormally strong, with a feel similar to rough fleece and a sophisticated design that belies its humble origins.
