Sustainable Flannel Shirts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Alex Crane's Cloud Flannel is Crafted from Organic Cotton

— September 28, 2024 — Social Good
'Alex Crane' continues to make waves in the sustainable fashion market by launching their latest piece, the 'Cloud Flannel.' This super-soft flannel shirt is a wardrobe staple and a testament to the brand's commitment to eco-friendly practices and ethical manufacturing.

Crafted from 100% peached organic cotton, the Cloud Flannel is a classic piece that can be brought out for any occasion. The shirt is cut and sewn in Chennai, India, in a factory prioritizing clean, safe, and fair working conditions. The use of natural corozo nut buttons ensures that the shirt is plastic-free, aligning with Alex Crane's mission to reduce environmental impact.

The Cloud Flannel's unique finishing process includes being washed in biodegradable enzymes, ensuring this flannel has the soft, worn-in feel of a well-loved favorite from the very first wear. Available in two versatile colors, this piece is designed to be both stylish and sustainable, making it a must-have for conscious consumers.
