It’s all about turning waste into wool.

While the summer had us sipping rosé and downing oysters by the dozen, the colder months look drastically different...with the exception of one thing: oysters! Or should I say, oyster shells?
This Long Wharf Supply SeaWell sweater, made with a collective blend of recycled oyster shells, recycled water bottles and cotton/natural lambswool, is perfect to wear all winter long. Inspired by what original fishermen wore at sea, this sweater will keep you warm with its thick cuffs and chunky collars, while at the same time reducing waste.

"Each SeaWell garment diverts 5 oyster shells and 8 water bottles from landfills." On top of that, every sweater sold helps reseed coastal oyster reefs. The impact? More than 3 million oysters reseeded, which "nautrally filter 150 million gallons of seawater every day." Instead of millions of pounds of discarded oyster shells being thrown into landfills (and tuning toxic over time), they're being used to create balance in the ecosystem.
