Sustainability & Doing Good

One of the best things we can do is make products that do not need to be replaced five minutes later.

Quality has been central to Bored Rebel from day one. We choose exceptionally soft, premium garments, create original designs that do not depend on a passing trend and print them to survive real life—washing machines included.

Our shirts are made to be worn for years. Because a product that gets kept, loved and worn again is a hell of a lot better than one that becomes clutter.

Bored Rebel products are designed and printed in the United States. Our core garments are cut and sewn by established manufacturing partners overseas before they arrive at our Denver production studio for printing and finishing.

We plan production thoughtfully and work to limit unnecessary excess. We are a small company, which means every product matters to us—and buying mountains of inventory just to throw part of it away is not our idea of a smart business plan.

Many of our core apparel styles come from suppliers with established programs addressing factory certification, social compliance, worker protections, supply-chain traceability and responsible material sourcing.

Our product mix and suppliers will continue to evolve. What will not change is our expectation that the companies we work with take labor standards, accountability and continuous improvement seriously.

Some of our products incorporate recycled materials. Others do not—and we will not turn “sometimes” into a sweeping sustainability claim.

We evaluate materials based on quality, comfort, durability, performance and environmental considerations. The right answer is not identical for every product, but looking for better options is always part of the conversation.

We will keep adding responsible material choices when they meet the standard our customers expect: they have to feel great, perform beautifully and last.

Apparel often travels through the world wrapped in layer after layer of individual plastic. We deliberately avoid much of that unnecessary packaging.

We use FSC-certified shipping boxes for our direct-to-customer orders and look for practical opportunities to reduce excess without compromising the condition of the product arriving at your door.

We are not packaging air. We are not adding stuff just to make the box look busier. The product is the point.

Samples, extra inventory and products that are not destined for a retail shelf can still have plenty of life—and value—left in them.

When appropriate, we donate wearable merchandise rather than treating a perfectly useful product as waste. It is a practical choice, a human choice and, frankly, the obvious choice.
