Say hello to an old friend...

Back in the day, Walkers had great success with Cut Loose, a collection from the American West Coast, and Anne recently met up with them again on a chance meeting here on the English East Coast!

Cut Loose is an extensive line of casual clothing that’s sewn and dyed to order in San Francisco. We’re known for our fabrics, our flattering fit, and our colors. The shapes are simple, and you can easily combine pieces for a sophisticated look.

Cut Loose say 'Every potential Cut Loose fabric is tested to see how it takes the dye; how it holds its shape; how it shrinks; and whether it twists or pills or feels scratchy. The dye bath is 200º F (just below boiling), and we truly believe, “If a garment can get through our dye process, it can get through your life.” We describe our fit as “implied shape,” meaning the shape of the body is implied in a flattering way. Cut Loose clothes skim the body for a fluid silhouette. When a Cut Loose garment “fits,” it simultaneously flatters the figure and allows room to really move.'

Their many shades of green...

Cut Loose keeps our environmental footprint as light as possible. Our dyes are non-toxic, and we neutralize our waste water so the salt doesn’t corrode the city’s pipes. Fabric tests are re-purposed into scarves, napkins, market bags, even scrunchies — for sale at our factory store. Garments are shipped without hangers or plastic bags, using recycled packaging materials. Even our labeling is minimalist.
