Wool Brand Ibex Launches Sustainability Driven Tie-Dye Line

To create the pieces, Ibex partnered with Green Matters, a Lancaster, PA-based company that specializes in plant-based dyes—a greener alternative to the water-intensive and polluting synthetic dyes used across the fashion industry. Each Dyed in the Wool garment gets its trippy aesthetic through real indigo and cutch (a powder derived from a species of acacia tree) harvested in southern India, and all the water used in the dyeing process comes from a rain cistern at Green Matters’ Pennsylvania farm.
Colors aside, these pieces offer a great blend of performance and everyday comfort. They’re made with Ibex’s cotton-merino terry fabric, which creates a comfy feel against the skin and has good breathability. The fabric includes a touch of stretchy elastane, which helps the garments retain their shape and keeps them from restricting your movement.
