What is Whistles clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 50 Whistles products, the average garment is 87.1% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 50% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Whistles cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 50% of the 50 Whistles products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 66% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Whistles 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 50 Whistles products we analyzed, 16 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 32.0% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Whistles use?

Is Whistles mostly synthetic?

0% of Whistles products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 87.1%, so the rest of the catalog is mostly natural-led.

Does Whistles use natural fabrics?

Is Whistles sustainable in terms of fabric?
