Fashion's Ugly Side
Click Tracker | April 29, 2019
Fashion is glamorous. Fashion is trendsetting. Fashion is the second dirtiest industry in the world.
The fashion industry and its major powerhouses are primed to make radical changes in our supply chains, manufacturing practices and how we get our product to customers.
Sustainable fashion needs more voices, big or small, and here at KIN, we are looking to make some changes to our processes, the materials we source and our carbon footprint.
We started KIN THE LABEL hats knowing that we were not going to kill animals for the sake of making women's wool hats. We vowed to never produce in beaver and fur. Our second initiative is to eliminate all plastic polybags from our supply chain and source materials as close to their origin as possible to cut down our carbon footprint.
Next on our list is to move away from leather, and faux leather which is made of polyurethane. In other words, plastic. Our goal for 2019 is to eliminate single-use materials and look at recycled materials that don't take 100 years to biodegrade.
Size Guide
How to measure your head
We prefer that you measure your head in centimeters because it tends to be more accurate than inches. Measure several times to ensure accuracy.
step 1
To measure your head size where your hat will sit, gather a cloth measuring tape or a simple string.
step 2
Start at the back of your head by gently wrapping the measuring tape or string towards your forehead a half inch (temple area) above your ears. Meet both ends of the measuring tape or string at the center of your forehead above the eyebrows.
step 3
Mark where those two points meet and measure the distance between the start and end points. If using a string, measure the start and end points against a ruler to find your hat size. Use this measurement to determine your hat size. Hat sizes vary by style, so be sure to check the unique fit for each.
