Good products are made of good stuff. When choosing materials, we look for high quality, abrasion resistant materials that will hold up over time and serve their purpose well. We choose materials with function in mind for each product use case, resulting in pieces that will be loved for the long haul. See “Material Impact” under “Production” for more insight into material sourcing decisions.

In addition to choosing durable materials, we reinforce common failure points in all garments with thoughtful stitching and double layering.

We don’t think your clothes should ever hold you back from doing the stuff you love. We design our garments to move with you wherever you go, integrating stretch and articulation where needed.

In addition to physical durability, we prioritize emotional durability: a product’s ability to be loved for a long time. We avoid trendy silhouettes and take a lot of inspiration from vintage styles that have lasted the test of time.

It’s important to us that our products perform well outdoors but can also blend in indoors. By integrating technical features subtly, we create products that are highly versatile and more likely to be worn over and over. Our hope is that this means you can do more with less stuff.

In addition to designing new styles, we are constantly iterating old ones to make them the best they can be. We make edits to existing products each season based on our own experiences and yours. We welcome your feedback and ideas in our Product Feedback Form.

In addition to considering a material’s performance, we also consider where it came from. We push our mills to use organic naturals and recycled synthetics whenever possible and are always looking for the next innovation in sustainability. Keep an eye out for our Preferred Materials list and for more information on each of our textiles.

We recognize that we are nothing without the people who make LIVSN - literally. We seek out factories with certifications that ensure fair labor practices and living wages. Most of our garments are made in Vietnam at a factory we have visited that has completed the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module. Keep an eye out for more information on each of our factory's labor practices.

As a relatively small brand, it’s not always easy to get quantitative data in regards to our upstream impact. However, as we grow we are working closely with our suppliers and with industry standard data to gather the information needed to create our first impact report and to set goals for the future. We're pursuing third party certifications to hold us and our manufacturing partners accountable for what goes on in our supply chain. We’re excited about the opportunity to scale our efforts in sustainability along with our business. Keep an eye out for our Flex Canvas Pants Life Cycle Assessment in the works.

We believe in our products and, in alignment with our mission, we are committed to making sure they serve their purpose well. If our clothing fails due to a manufacturer defect, we will repair, refund, or replace the product at no charge.

We love seeing the users of our products wear them day after day in the toughest conditions. We’ve made a name for ourselves by making durable apparel, but we admit that nothing lasts forever...unless you repair it. In an effort to make our products last even longer we offer at-cost repairs for any wear-and-tear damages accrued.

We hope that our customers hold onto their gear for as long as they can, but we understand that sometimes a garment may no longer be a good fit for you (literally or figuratively). Our resale marketplace allows customers to easily list and sell their used garments to keep them in use.
