Why Our Baby Tees Are the Perfect Blend of Comfort and Sustainability
At Kait Macleod, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s at the heart of everything we create. That’s why our baby tees are designed to be both a timeless wardrobe staple and a conscious choice for those who care about the planet. These tees are not only incredibly soft and durable, but they’re also crafted with sustainable practices that minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.
The Fabric: Natural Meets Recycled
Our baby tees are made from a thoughtful blend of 90% cotton and 10% recycled polyester. Cotton, a natural, renewable fiber, is the perfect foundation for a soft, breathable fabric. We use ring-spun cotton, which means the cotton fibers are twisted and thinned to create finer, stronger strands. This process results in a fabric that’s softer, more durable, and longer-lasting than traditionally spun cotton. The added benefit? Ring-spun cotton is more resilient to wear and tear, making your baby tee a lasting piece in your wardrobe.
But we didn’t stop there. The 10% recycled polyester used in our baby tees is just as sustainable. Unlike virgin polyester, which is made from raw materials and requires significant energy to produce, recycled polyester uses 59% less energy. This fabric is often made from post-consumer garments or even recycled plastic bottles, giving waste a second life and reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills.
Water Conservation: Recycled and Reduced
One of the most impressive aspects of our baby tees is the water conservation in their production. All water used in the manufacturing process is recycled through an advanced filtration system, allowing it to be reused. This method uses 7 times less water than the average clothing manufacturer—saving thousands of gallons of water that would otherwise be wasted. At Kait Macleod, we believe that small steps like this make a huge difference when it comes to sustainable fashion.
Waste Not, Want Not
We also take sustainability seriously in the manufacturing process. All fabric scraps from the production of our baby tees are recycled and repurposed for use in other industries—most commonly for companies that create upholstery stuffing. This means that not a single scrap goes to waste, contributing to a more circular, sustainable system.
Made in Los Angeles: Supporting Local Craftsmanship
In addition to using eco-friendly materials, our baby tees are made right here in Los Angeles. This allows us to maintain a close relationship with our production partners, ensuring fair labor practices and high-quality craftsmanship. By keeping production local, we can also reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping and transportation.
