Sounds strange at first, right? But once you’ve worn it, it makes perfect sense. At Whatever Man, materials aren’t just a technical decision – they’re the foundation of how our clothing feels, performs, and lives with you. From long days outside to late nights at the bar, we choose fabrics that move with you, breathe with you, and honestly feel so good you forget you’re wearing them. Let’s start at the root of it all.
Clothing Made of Wood
Lyocell – Performance Grown From Trees
Yes, wood. Lyocell is a natural fibre made from cellulose, most commonly sourced from eucalyptus trees. We use Lyocell for our T-shirts and longsleeves, designed to be worn from the mountain to the bar. Clean enough for everyday life, functional enough for adventure.
Why we love it:
-
Ultra-soft and smooth on the skin
-
Breathable and temperature-regulating
-
Moisture-wicking and fast-drying
-
Naturally odour-resistant
Lyocell behaves a lot like Merino, but feels smoother and lighter. That’s why it’s perfect for functional lifestyle pieces – simple in look, high-performing in reality.
Merino–Lyocell – Softness You Didn’t Know Was Possible
Our baselayer products are where performance and comfort truly meet. By blending Merino wool and Lyocell, we created a fabric that’s incredibly soft, warm, breathable and durable. These aren’t itchy, stiff baselayers – they’re the kind you put on once and don’t want to take off. Made for adventure, but comfortable enough to wear all day, every day. Whether you’re riding, hiking, travelling or layering up in cold conditions – they feel natural, flexible and reliable. Built for movement. Loved for comfort.
Brushed Organic Cotton – Comfort From Day One
Sometimes, comfort is all about familiarity. Our brushed organic cotton goes through a finishing process that gently lifts micro-fibres on the surface of the fabric. The result is a pre-worn, broken-in feel from the very first wear – without sacrificing durability.
Why brushed organic cotton:
-
Soft immediately – no “new clothing” stiffness
-
Breathable and robust
-
Organic fibres, grown with more care
It’s the kind of fabric you instinctively reach for, again and again.
Pre-Washed – Made to Last
All our materials are pre-washed before production. This ensures: long-lasting colour, stable fit over time, consistent softness after washing. What you try on is what you keep – wash after wash, season after season.
Fleeces – Cozy, But Built With Purpose
Our fleeces are the layers you grab when the day slows down and the temperature drops. Made from double-sided brushed faux-fur fleece (296 g/m²), produced in Italy from 80% recycled PET bottles and 20% acrylic, they offer warmth without bulk and breathability without compromise. Soft, plush and comfortable – perfect for chill days at home, cozy evenings by the campfire, or relaxed nights outside. Functional warmth. Relaxed comfort. Everyday versatility.
Why It All Matters
We don’t chase trends. We choose materials that feel good, perform well and age beautifully. From wood-based fibres to organic cotton, from baselayers to fleeces, everything we make is designed to be worn, lived in and shared. Live it. Wear it. Share it.
