The Vollebak Garbage Jacket is a decidedly rugged, upcycled garment constructed with function and form in mind to support the modern adventurer. The jacket is crafted with a blend of materials including plant waste, discarded firefighter suits and recycled brass with 70% of the garment being made with the fire-resistance meta-aramid fiber. The remaining 30% of the jacket is achieved with para-aramid fiber that's traditionally found in bulletproof vests to further enhance the durable nature of the garment.
The Vollebak Garbage Jacket maintains an earthy green color to give it a natural aesthetic that will look right at home within the wilderness. Priced at $645, the jacket is available now and identifies how materials can be reworked into new garments.
