Eco-Fibers
More importantly than ever, with denim prevailing as the go-to bottom weight fabric, Twin Dragon has a great desire to leave a positive footprint on the planet. Given there is a marketable opportunity , as the demand grows for fashion goods to emulate sustainable and eco-friendly properties, so does that desire trickle down to our roots of development. Realizing we have a responsibility to future generations, we have developed fabrics using fibers made from trees of sustainable forests and polyester from recycled plastic.
From Austrian based, Lenzing, Tencel® is utilized in many of our premium denim development processes because of its soft and smooth hand and higher absorbency rates than cotton. Additionally, Tencel® has main ecological advantages, being less toxic to cultivate than cotton or polyester has on water and soil in the environment. Additionally, Tencel® is made from raw material wood, stems from forest plantations which practice sustainability.
Polyester is a viable fiber specifically utilized in high stretch denims and twills to provide strength for recovery support. Manufactured in USA, by Unifi, Repreve® is made from 100% recycled polyester harvested from plastic bottles. In comparison to virgin polyester, Repreve® conserves resources and offsets the need to use newly refined crude oil, reducing energy consumption by over 66%. 7 plastic water bottles = The amount of recycled polyester in one of our womens core stretch denims.
Our FOREVER denims are made possibly by special sustainable cellulose Modal® COLOR fibers, dyed in the solvent stage, to create the most supreme colorfastness. These eco-friendly specialty denims FOREVER BLACK ® and FOREVER WHITE® therefore need no additional dying, saving water, eliminating unnecessary pollutants in addition to saving the customer money in the laundering process.

Performance Fibers

Our performance denim uniquely blends Sorbtek® and Repreve®-poly fibers-both come from our Affiliate, Unifi, an American manufacturer– that ingeniously unites temperature regulation functionality and eco-conscious sustainability. This combination creates strong denim that provides cooling and does the Earth some good.
