The PANGAIA biofabricated hoodie is a limited-edition garment created in partnership with Spiber Inc. to provide consumers with an eco-friendly take on the classic fashion staple.

The hoodie is achieved using Spiber's Brewed Protein fibers and organic cotton, which gives it a distinctly sustainable edge. The Brewed Protein fibers are reported to require less land and water use for growth, and have undergone a unique fermentation process. The garment comes as the first of a multi-year partnership between the two brands.

PANGAIA Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Amanda Parkes spoke on the new PANGAIA biofabricated hoodie saying, "Spiber’s Brewed Protein fibers will disrupt the way we create fabrics through biofabrication and allow brands to transition away from carbon-polluting materials. The Spiber team shows a deep and impressive commitment to complex innovation; we both were eager to bring this capsule to life through PANGAIA Lab and show the cutting-edge technology is ready to scale.”
