Melrose Social Club Track Jacket Black - Eco-Certified

Sorona Fibers:

• Eco Sorona is a partially plant-based, high-performance fiber. 
• Bio-based: Sorona is partially made from renewable plant-based ingredients, specifically corn glucose & other plant sugars.
• Lower footprint: Manufacturing the polymer uses roughly 30% to 44% less energy and generates 50% to 59% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional nylon

Recycled Polyester Fibers:

• Recycled polyester repurposes post-consumer materials like plastic water bottles and discarded textiles, keeping non-biodegradable trash out of landfills and oceans.
• Cuts Greenhouse Gases: production generates about 30% to 75% fewer carbon dioxide emissions.
• Decreases Fossil Fuel Reliance: by relying on existing materials, it lessens the immediate demand to extract new crude oil and natural gas for textile production.
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certification independently tested to be free from over 1,000 harmful chemicals & safe for human skin.

FACTORY:

• Manufactured in a family owned & operated factory in Latin America with ethical working conditions, fair wages & a commitment to sustainability.
• Near shore manufacturing reduces carbon footprint, while supporting local economy in third-world country.

• Use Cold Water: Always use cold or lukewarm water (below 86°F/30°C). Hot water can damage synthetic fibers like spandex and cause them to lose their stretch.
• Turn Inside Out: Most sweat, body oils, and bacteria accumulate on the inside of the garment. Turning it inside out ensures a deeper clean and protects exterior colors or logos.
• Skip Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners and dryer sheets leave a waxy residue that clogs the pores of technical fabrics, reducing their ability to wick moisture and trap odors.
• Use Special Detergents: Consider using detergents specifically formulated for activewear, such as Persil Activewear Clean, HEX Performance, or Rockin' Green. These are designed to break down body oils and odors in cold water without damaging the fabric.
