There’s a myth that eco-friendly merch has to feel flimsy or look "crunchy."
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Today’s sustainable apparel options are just as soft, durable, and stylish as traditional choices—sometimes even better.
At FCE, we help brands choose the right base garments: organic cotton tees that feel like your favorite vintage find, recycled polyester that holds up to daily wear, low-impact dyes that create rich, lasting color.
One outdoor company we worked with thought they’d have to compromise on look and feel when they made the switch to eco-friendly hoodies.
Instead, their new line felt even more premium—and their customers noticed.
Choosing eco-merch isn't about sacrifice. It’s about smart sourcing, thoughtful design, and making sure that what feels good on the skin feels good on the conscience too.
Great merch doesn’t have to cost the earth.
And when you do it right, people can tell.
