- and how Sittingsuits fits in
“Sustainable fashion” once sounded fresh; by 2025 it risks becoming a throwaway label. True responsibility means admitting that every garment leaves a mark. Then designing, making and caring for it so that mark is as small as possible over a very long life.
“Sustainable fashion” once sounded fresh; by 2025 it risks becoming a throwaway label. True responsibility means admitting that every garment leaves a mark. Then designing, making and caring for it so that mark is as small as possible over a very long life.
The very first Sittingsuits sold back in 2018 are still in use seven winters later. That real-world track record tells us durability beats any single eco-label when it comes to lowering a product’s lifetime impact.
Built-to-last details, reinforced seams, YKK® zips and a wipe-clean shell, mean fewer replacements and a lighter footprint per use.
Care tip: machine-wash at 40 °C and air-dry; you’ll be back outside in 15 minutes.

Even the longest-lived garment will one day need fixing—or recycling. That’s why every Sittingsuit is built from components chosen for a second life.
☑ 100 % GRS-certified recycled PET padding keeps each suit warm while diverting plastic bottles from landfill.
☑ Shell and lining are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified polyester - safe against skin and water-efficient to dye.
☑ Local-repair credit: if a seam or zip fails, we refund part of the repair cost so you can visit a neighbourhood tailor instead exchanging the suit.

Traceability isn’t a branding exercise; it’s the foundation of accountability. Your Sittingsuit is sewn in an audited facility in China that meets:
ISO 9001 (Quality)
ISO 14001 (Environmental)
OHSAS 18001 (Health & Safety)
amfori BSCI (social compliance)
Soon we will pilot a Digital Product Passport: scan a QR code on the care label to see fibre content, factory data and repair tutorials in one place.
WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW
Responsibility is also personal. Here’s how to get the most from your suit:
Buy once, buy to last. Choose a print you’ll love long term.
Follow the care label; air-dry beats tumble-dry.
Use our repair credit if the unexpected happens; your local tailor is closer (and greener) than a returns depot.
