Garbage Jacket

Live stainable and look good while doing it. The Garbage Jacket from Vollebak not only looks stylish and clean, it’s made from recycled materials — and we mean recycled materials. The zippers and cuffs are made from old plastic bottles, while the whole jacket is comprised of old firefighter suits. Throw plant waste and recycled brass into the mix. So yes, this soft, lined, and streamlined jacket is fire resistant, according to the company. Pair it with the Garbage Sweater or Garbage T Shirt Granite Edition.
