Sierra Club togs make great holiday gifts

Shopping for just the right present for your special tree-hugger? Check out the new Sierra Club clothing for men and women. These fashions not only look good, but also use sustainable fabrics such as wool, hemp, organic cotton or EcoSpun fleece, produced entirely from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Even the denim is politically correct. It is manufactured in Denmark using golf balls instead of mined pumice to give the fabric its traditional worn look.

Best of all, the Club receives a royalty on each item sold. Styles include jackets, pants, sweaters, and shirts.

The clothing is produced by Isda & Company based in San Francisco. Sierra Club requires its suppliers to adhere to the workplace code of conduct of the Fair Labor Association, a coalition of universities, non-governmental organizations and companies such as Eddie Bauer, Patagonia and others.

If you think it’s time to supplement your own winter wardrobe or you need some inspiration for holiday gifts, the Sierra Club line of Fall/Winter apparel has an array of warm winter clothing that will keep you toasty during the coming outdoor season and for many years to come.

A full selection of men’s and women’s apparel is available at: www.sierra clubgear.com. Locally, Sierra Club clothing is sold at EcoGoods in downtown Santa Cruz, 1130 Pacific Avenue and, in the near future, at the Friends of the Sea Otter Education and Retail Center, 381 Cannery Row in Monterey.
