They use only recycled fabrics even going so far as to make materials from old fishing nets. A new brand of nautical clothing is coming, called 4Sea, which in English is read “for.” As in: for the sea, to preserve it, to revive it. To give real technical content to their garments, those at 4Sea researched the best fabrics, as long as they were eco-friendly and recycled, 100 percent.
How to wear the colors of the Tyrrhenian Sea with 4Sea
So they use only cotton or polymer fabrics that are recycled and, as mentioned, made from old fishing nets that would otherwise risk lying abandoned at sea. To give an even more connected feel to our seas, their garments have the names of famous places such as Giraglia, Porto Rafael, and Budelli.
The colors also echo those of the Tyrrhenian Sea, in addition to the classic blue and white. Bright orange, sunshine yellow, mauve, apricot, and lavender are part of the wide selection that 4Sea’s garments offer.
Coming soon, the first sustainable oilskin
Polo Shirts, T Shirts, Jackets, and pants are part of the collection, but they are already studying, with the support of Didac Costa who is competing in the legendary Vendée Globe solo around-the-world race, the first fully sustainable ocean oilskin. 4Sea has just opened its e-commerce site, which you can find at this one at www.4sea.com
