    after losing everything after a boating misadventure, i had enough money to buy a bicycle. i became a bike messenger in boston. this required about fifty miles of bicycling in every sort of weather. similar to offshore sailing, really. you can acclimate to almost any smell. ask any old hippie about patchouli. i rejected cotton sweaters as they became too heavy. wool was good with water, but was too warm, even in winter. i settled on acrylic or any other cheapo synthetic sweater. because they were quick drying! the upside of the noisome smell (i always imagined the invisible stink rays!) was that i was always given a little extra space in the elevators.

    You may already be aware of comparable brands but you might be interested in mukishoes. Their footwear includes the use of a variety of materials including veg-tan leather, wool, cork, hemp, organic cotton, and natural rubber. The lining of their shoes is usually or always a natural material and often recycled or fashioned from off cuts and such. I think they're a very impressive company

    Really excellent research - thank you! venE more interesting (in my weird opinion) is why/how Cotton can sometimes perform as badly as polyester in the stink arena. I have bought a few cotton t-shirts in the past and they start to smell within about 1 hour of putting them on, They are generally cheaper, lighter and smoother than normal cotton t-shirt material, so you might be forgiven for thinkingthey artificial fibres, but they are labelled 100% cotton and are sold by reputable clothing shops. My feeling is that the *weave* might be responsible..?

    The problem with cotton is that it needs a lot of water to grow. And it takes land that could have been used to grow vegetables. So we should buy quality cotton that can be used for a long time. Some bad/ cheap children’s clothes look bad after a few washes. High quality clothes can be used by many children and still look nice. Often more than you know when bought at a second hand shop.

  • @biaberg3448
    @biaberg3448 4 дні тому

    But some polyester clothes can be worn for years and years. Don’t seem to be worn out. And don’t stink. And some other feel uncomfortable/ clammy to use when it’s hot.

    I used to work at a Red Cross Second hand store here in Sweden, in the textile and clothing department. We were not allowed to sell blankets and other items labelled as moth-proof due to the chemicals. We were even instructed to put them in the trash and not the fabric recycle bins where we put items too stained or damaged to sell.

    I had no idea that rayon, viscose and modal were the same thing. Years ago I wore a rayon garment or two, but they invariably shrank in the wash and so were discarded. I have worn cotton/modal blends more recently, but I will not buy any more. I discovered linen a few years ago, and most of my wardrobe that was purchased since 2019 is either linen, cotton, or (when available) organic cotton. Wool is, of course, a wonderful thing, but I am allergic to it and cashmere (more likely to the dyes and other chemicals, since undyed sheepskin slippers don’t bother me) so can only wear wool as outer garments. Unfortunately some garments like brassieres, attractive underpants, and shapewear are only available made from synthetics, at least in part. I appreciate your very informative video.

      Choosing organic is not something everyone has access to or can afford. Buying second-hand is a fantastic way to reduce overall consumption and divert products from the landfill. When they do, I would rather they have access to information about their choices than judge them for not making a different choice.
