The Softness of Natural Fabrics: Why Comfort Shouldn’t Cost the Earth

The Softness of Natural Fabrics: Why Comfort Shouldn’t Cost the Earth

When it comes to clothing, we all know the difference a soft, comfortable fabric can make. It’s the reason we have those go-to shirts or jumpers we reach for time and time again. But what if you didn’t have to choose between comfort, style, and sustainability? Natural fabrics offer the perfect balance, providing that soft, luxurious feel while being kinder to the planet. At Rewound Clothing, our natural fibre shirts are designed to be as gentle on your skin as they are on the environment. Let’s dive into why natural fabrics are your best choice for feel-good fashion.


Why Natural Fabrics Feel So Good

Natural fabrics are inherently soft and breathable because they’re derived from renewable resources like wood pulp, plant fibres, and even hemp. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can feel rough and trap heat, natural fibres are gentle, lightweight, and adapt to your body.

Take TENCEL™ Lyocell, for example. Made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, it’s celebrated for its smooth, silky texture that feels incredible against the skin. The fibres are softer and finer than cotton, making TENCEL™ shirts perfect for all-day wear—whether you're heading to the office or out for dinner.

And the benefits go beyond softness. Natural fabrics like lyocell and hemp blends are naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic, ensuring you stay cool, fresh, and irritation-free.


The Rewound Approach to Feel-Good Fabrics

At Rewound, we believe comfort shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s why we use natural fibres in many of our shirts, ensuring you get the softness you deserve while making a sustainable choice.

  • Lyocell/TENCEL™ Blends: Known for their silk-like texture, these fibres are not only incredibly soft but also breathable and wrinkle-resistant. Perfect for those summer and holiday prints, like the Remi. 
  • Hemp/Lyocell Blends: Hemp is an unsung hero of natural fabrics. When blended with lyocell, it creates a soft yet robust material that’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for layering. Check out our Joseph or Lukas shirts for effortless elegance.
  • Eco Viscose Fabrics: Derived from sustainably managed wood sources, eco viscose offers an ultra-smooth feel, perfect for shirts that flow effortlessly while staying soft to the touch.

Rewound shirts are designed with these materials to prioritize both comfort and sustainability. They’re not just pieces you’ll love wearing but also ones you can feel good about owning.


Comfort Meets Conscious Living

Choosing natural fabrics isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about making thoughtful choices for the planet. Here’s why:

  • Eco-Friendly Origins: Natural fibres like lyocell and hemp come from renewable resources and are processed with lower environmental impact. For instance, TENCEL™ production uses a closed-loop system that recycles 99% of solvents, minimizing waste and emissions.
  • Biodegradable Beauty: Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can linger in landfills for centuries, natural fibres decompose naturally, leaving behind no harmful traces.
  • Lower Water Usage: Producing natural fabrics often requires significantly less water compared to cotton or synthetics. For example, hemp uses 50% less water than conventional cotton crops.

By choosing Rewound’s natural-fibre shirts, you’re investing in more than just comfort—you’re supporting a circular fashion economy that’s gentler on the earth.


Why Comfort Should Never Be Compromised

We often think of luxury as a compromise—softness equals higher cost, or sustainability means sacrificing style. But at Rewound, we’ve set out to change that. With our natural fibre shirts, you get the best of all worlds: premium softness, timeless style, and a commitment to the environment.

So, as you update your wardrobe, consider what really matters. Treat yourself to the softness of natural fabrics and experience comfort that doesn’t just feel good—it does good. After all, nothing looks better than wearing a shirt you love and knowing it’s making a difference.
