A Phyne Bomber Jacket

THE CHALLENGE
The bomber jacket has always been a fashion icon. Initially made of leather, modern interpretations are mostly made of nylon/polyester, but at the same time, no brand has been able to recreate a fully sustainable version with the look and feel of the 1950‘s original (smooth & shiny). Thus, consumers still choose polyester versions, which contradicts a modern sustainable lifestyle.

THE SOLUTION
The idea is to develop an evergreen bomber jacket using new, mercerized fabrics made of organic cotton to achieve the typical outer look of a bomber jacket. The partnership will use an certified sustainable process to mercerize the fabric, filtering and recycling the required sodium hydroxide to avoid
any water pollution. The lining would be made from 100% TENCEL.
