Have you heard of this fiber?


With a superb drape and a luxuriously soft finish, this shirt is a superior choice for formal occasions. It's made from a supple blend of cotton and REFIBRA™, a sustainable fiber crafted from wood pulp and repurposed cotton. The resulting fabric is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating with absorbent properties that keep you cool and dry. We've applied our non-iron finish to this lightweight style so that you can slip it on straight from the hanger.

• 55% cotton, 45% REFIBRA™
• Spread collar
• Non-iron
• Available in slim and extra slim fit
• Mitred single cuff with two buttons
• Slim fit: Split back yoke and back pleats
• Extra slim fit: Split back yoke and back darts
• Complimentary brass collar stays
• Machine washable

No, but it sounds a little like rayon, which is made from wood fiber, isn't it?

Well, let's hope it does not damage the environment like the production of rayon did at the Avtex Fibers Plant in Front Royal, Virginia.

Apparently it's an alternated process for creating Lyocell but using cotton fabric scraps aswell.

As far as I understand, on top of wood pulp (apparently mostly eucalyptus) shredded cotton scraps from clothing production are used in a similar process to just plain Lyocell.

Assuming they are using a similar solvent and process set-up, the solvent is non toxic and is recycled to a very high percentage (for Lyocell, 99% are reclaimed).

Care is similar to Lyocell (brand name is Tencel for example) so just a regular easy iron cotton/synthetic blend...
