Earth Conscious Fabrics and Materials
hats.com believes that materials that are organically grown, that is without the use of pestisides or other chemicals, that are made of recycled materials,
or come from renewable resources are good examples of how fashion companies can be earth-friendly. Companies like Timberland and Helen Kaminski strive to use as many
of these materials as possible, creating durable and fashionable headwear pieces. Other companies, such as Kangol and Ignite, recognize that cloths like bamboo and
linen are not only great materials to use to reduce their carbon footprint, but also make quality hat styles.

Bamboo is noted as one of the most sustainable plants on the planet because of its fast growth and well-established roots.
