Yew Clothing

We started Yew because we just wanted more out of the clothing we wear. We wanted it to be a company that reflected who we were – our values, aspirations and views.  In particular, we wanted to make ethically sourced clothing made from environmentally friendly materials.  We realised that this wouldn’t appeal to everyone, but it would be a company that we could be proud of.  Of course, we expected to make compromises along the way – and we have.  But we have a rule that we have to stand by each of the decisions we make. We have to be honest to ourselves, and honest to Yew. Yew aims to make well-designed clothes from the best sustainable materials. We know that people demand high performance, so we work hard to make sure that they don’t have to sacrifice that in order to buy something that’s friendly to the environment. Disclaimer We make every effort to avoid ‘the ethical stance’.  We know there is no such thing as a universally ‘green’ material, and don’t want to try to convince you that there is.  We will always be honest about the way we do things, and know there is always room to improve.  All our materials have been selected on the belief that they are ‘greener’, less damaging alternatives that still meet the demands of modern life. Yew Clothing makes awesome sportswear for active outdoor pursuits from sustainable and eco materials, like recycled polyester. We love being active outdoors, so we wanted to design the best gear to enjoy it with, whether we're out running, biking singletrack, climbing overhangs, skiing fresh tracks, hiking the Lakes or enjoying some yoga. So that meant making our outdoor clothes and sportswear fit to travel in any environment - not from a performance perspective, but an ethical one. So all our sportswear, including baselayers, fleeces and technical tops, are made from eco or sustainable fabrics. We've done that with the environment in mind. We also think about sustainable from an ethical standpoint and make sure our factories have a suitable working environment. Our technical range is designed to perform for all your active adventures: climbing, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, biking, doing yoga headstands, trail running or, if you're like us, all of them. Wherever you go, you can take us with you. Even better, we make sure our clothes are made to our ethical standards and only use eco materials like 100% recycled polyester, made from re-processed plastic bottles (for our fleeces, performance tops and baselayers), or soft organic cotton (for our t-shirts, which can be casual or used for yoga). Yew make it, You wear it.
