Bensly, a fashionable menswear line, is producing clothes that are as comfortable as they are environmentally friendly.
The feel-good garments are made from substantially grown 'Tencel' that promises to make the clothes "softer than silk, more breathable than linen, and more absorbent than cotton.” The fiber is found in eucalyptus trees and is made through a "closed-loop fibre process," which essentially transforms the wood into fine fibres which can be spindled into yarn and knitted into fabric. The plant-based material also serves as a natural wrinkle-reducer, making early mornings a little less chaotic. Bensley is producing thoughtful clothing to provide conscious consumers with an alternative to fast fashion.
The company is producing shirts, underwear, athleisure shorts and hoodies -- products which ensure maximum comfort for an environmentally conscious consumer.
