The DS Fabric Guide
With a wide range of weights and textures, there’s a Dudley Stephens recycled fabric for all seasons and occasions. Our styles have repurposed over 6 million plastic bottles (and counting).
♻
Vello Fleece
Soft, tightly woven and warm, this fabric is most like the “traditional” fabric people associate with fleece (but ours is extra cozy!).
♻
Terry Fleece
Think sweatshirt fabric (the most luxurious sweatshirt you can imagine), this versatile, four-season fabric has a hook-and-loop texture that’s almost towel-like.
♻
Striped Fleece
A recycled fabric with a feel of its own: the sink-in soft finish of our core Vello Fleece, combined with the lightweight feel of our Terry Fleece, and a bit more stretch.
♻
Double Layer Vello Fleece
Like the classic, only doubled up for extra warmth and softness.
♻
Sherpa Fleece
Fuzzy soft and warm with a plush texture, this is as close to lambswool as fleece gets—without the itch factor.
♻
Waffle
This innovative recycled fabric is all about luxe texture. Polartec® calls it Power Air,™ since it catches air to keep in warmth while keeping microfiber shedding to a minimum (read: high-fashion, low eco-impact). With a jersey-sheen finish in a medium weight, it’s a woven waffle that checks all our boxes for elevated four-season wear.
♻
Eco Stretch
A versatile, lightweight nylon/lycra hybrid, layerable with a soft finish and a touch of recoverable stretch to move with you—no matter where you’re moved to take it.
♻
Repreve® Stretch
Same stretch as our Eco Stretch, with a bit more structure. The feel of a premium performance fabric, built into everywhere pieces.
♻
Luxe Stretch
A Poly/Lycra blend made from recycled bottles. Lightweight with some structure, stretchy and breathable. A luxe feel, as its name suggests.
