The thumbnail: PlayBack Clothing makes great looking and great-wearing tees, sweatshirts and hoodies, and they’re all made from recycled post industrial materials. Look a little deeper and you’ll find a company that’s truly serious about sustainability, from the extraction of their product’s raw materials to the process of shipping, dying, and ultimately, the disposal of their duds.
PlayBack’s’s recycled cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts are made from post-industrial cotton scraps, and plastic and glass bottles. They sort the material by color and then brake it down into fiber form which is paired with other fibers, (recycled cotton or polyester, depending on what they started with), to add softness and durability. The fibers are then re-spun into yarn and knitted into PlayBack t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.
The company emphasizes that they make real green clothes for real green people, affordably priced, sustainably made and stylishly worn. As we like to say, “it’s a lifestyle thing.” Prices range from a very reasonable $20 to $55 @ playbackclothing.com

Looovin’ the Playback hoodies. And comfortable t-shirts made from glass bottles?? sounds impossible, but looks pretty awesome.
Got me some sweatshirts from playback clothing. This guy Adam Siskind seems to be to something. Sweet idea.
This is amazing. I have never seen “recycled clothing” made so well. I will be a Fan of PLAYBACK Clothing.
Consumer warning……do not purchase from Playback clothing. They have no customer service. I purchased a jacket in as a Christmas gift that needed to be exchanged for a smaller size. It was return to Playback in the first week of Jan. and I am still trying to get it replaced or a refund from the company. Phone calls are not returned, email is not replied to. Great concept for a company but no customer service once they get your money.
