DL 1961 Denim

High performance denim made from previously loved knits, undies, jeans and everything in between. Manufactured in one vertically integrated facility using recycled water, solar power and resource efficient technologies.

A New Life for Post-Consumer Waste
Our family-owned manufacturing facility has opened the largest textile recycling plant in all of Asia. We buy truckloads of post-consumer waste from all over the world so we can break down used plastic bottles, t-shirts, undies, and more, and turn them into new fibers.

Recycling Plant
We’ve partnered with Recover™, a leading material sciences company that transforms waste into sustainable recycled fibers, closing the loop on fashion. Recover™ recycled cotton fiber is markedly better for the environment than conventional cotton, and even organic cotton.

Weaving
The magic happens when we weave Recover™ fibers together with high-tech Modal, Tencel, and stretch to create brand new yarns. Each meets our high feel and fit standards, with a lower impact on the planet than traditional yarns.

Waterless Finishing
Laser and Ozone Technologies give that authentic denim look without the environmental impact. We invest in this innovative technology to create cutting edge effects without the harmful chemicals and wasted water used in traditional washing techniques.

Ethical Manufacturing
From air quality to safety procedures our facilities are designed for optimal working conditions. We adhere to the strictest international quality standards because we believe true sustainability means taking care of the planet and the people on it, too.
