Fashion Fresh From the Sea
Maybe it’s a symptom of our Yankee frugality, but at Timberland we LOVE to recycle. There’s something oddly thrilling about giving old stuff like plastic bottles and discarded tires a second life as recycled materials in our products.
And as we get more excited about recycling, we get a little crazy. For example: Recycled coffee grounds in our S.Café® yarn (the grounds trap odors and absorb sweat — who knew?). And when you’re designing a jacket and you need it to be waterproof and durable, why not start by thinking about other materials that are waterproof and durable? Like, I dunno … fishing nets and ropes, salvaged from the ocean?
Introducing ReNet™ recycled nylon fabric:
Using ReNet™ in our products means less waste in the landfill (or worse – floating around in the ocean) — and wearing a jacket with ReNet™ in it gives YOU a whopper of a good story to tell on your next fishing trip.
Learn more about ReNet™ and the other recycled and renewable materials we use in our products in the Timberland Technology Guide.

Stay Warm
Here in New Hampshire, it’s so cold that the forecast calls for SNOW … which makes the idea of staying warm more important than ever. Here’s our senior director of apparel, Dean, back again to explain the natural inspiration (two words: polar bears) for the technology we use to make our gear thinner, lighter and warmer:
