From Bottles to Bombers: The Cool Story Behind Your SOW Jacket!

Hey SOW Kids!

Guess what? The bomber jacket you love to wear from SOW Kids isn’t just cool—it’s planet-saving power in disguise! Let’s take a fun journey together to see how your jacket goes from a plastic bottle to the comfy, stylish jacket you wear. Ready? Let’s go!

Recyclable plastic bottles ready for repurposing into sustainable fabric

Step 1: Plastic Bottles Get a New Life

Every time someone finishes a bottle and recycles it, it might be cleaned, squished, and chopped into tiny flakes—like little confetti! These are the start of your awesome SOW jacket.

Step 2: Confetti Gets Spun into Thread

Those little plastic flakes are melted down and stretched into soft, spaghetti-like threads called recycled polyester. It’s soft, strong, and perfect for adventure-ready clothing!
