A brief history of flotsam and jetsam
Finnish brand The Other Danish Guy reckons its new range of pants might just save the world. By using a fabric called Smoothshell, made from salvaged ocean flotsam and jetsam, including discarded fishing nets, they’re helping to clean up the seas, but are also sending a message to the fashion world to use more sustainable materials.
