Most of the work that goes into the garment lies in the fabric itself. 

Fabrics today are split into three different categories: Synthetic, Manmade, and Natural

Synthetic fabrics are made from synthetic materials (polymers) like plastic that are melted, spewed and spun into yarn. Production of synthetic fabrics creates pollution because it relies on fossil fuels to create the plastic-like fibers. Examples include polyester, nylon and acrylic. 

Manmade fabrics are made from natural materials but artificially. Tree pulp is melted spewed and spun into yarn. Production of manmade fabrics relies on extremely toxic chemicals to melt the tree pulp. Examples include viscose, rayon, and modal. 

Natural fabrics are made from materials that are readily found in nature. These fibers must be picked, combed and spun into yarn. Production of natural fabrics are the least toxic and do not rely on fossil fuels to be produced. They are also the most comfortable and breathable fabrics. Examples include cotton, linen, silk, and wool.

We at Uniform Apparel believe that natural fabrics, if produced consciously, are the best types of fabrics for garments. They use the least amount of fossil fuels and toxic chemicals to create and are the most comfortable and breathable fabrics for clothing. They are also easily biodegradable and can be recycled.
