Sustainable long-sleeved shirts – fashionable, fair and organic

A sustainable long-sleeved shirt is an essential part of our fair fashion wardrobe - and there are three reasons for this.
Firstly, the long-sleeved shirt is an ideal companion for the transition from season to season. In spring, it keeps you warm when it's still too cold for a T-shirt. In autumn, it's the perfect "second skin" - a thin, warm cover - under airy chunky knit sweaters made of alpaca wool or cardigans.
Secondly: Our sustainable long-sleeved shirts made from organic materials such as organic virgin wool or organic cotton are not only perfect for fashionable layering (also called layered look), but are also an absolute highlight in your wardrobe as a single piece.
Thirdly: An organic long-sleeved shirt is the environmentally friendly alternative to traditional, conventionally produced long-sleeved shirts. This is obvious, of course. But so that you don't have to miss out on anything in your search for the right long-sleeved shirt, we would like to introduce you to our wide selection of organic long-sleeved shirts.

Which organic materials are suitable for making long-sleeved shirts?

When it comes to material, long-sleeved shirts are usually associated with organic cotton and, in fact, most sustainable long-sleeved shirts for women are made of cotton. At LANIUS, we value a wide selection of sustainable materials. We also rely on tried-and-tested material blends, such as our vegan fashion made of hemp and organic cotton, which benefits on the one hand from the softness of cotton and on the other hand from the robust and temperature-regulating properties of the hemp fiber.

The textile fiber hemp has always been one of our favorite materials because it combines many sustainable advantages. Hemp grows in almost any soil, processing the fiber requires little energy, and it is very resistant to pests, so no chemical herbicides or fungicides are necessary. At LANIUS, we aim to source our materials from the countries they come from. We traditionally source hemp from China - you can find out more about this in our Travel Journal China .
Another great choice for sustainable long-sleeved shirts is TENCEL™. The natural fiber TENCEL™ is made from wood that comes from controlled sustainable forestry. A long-sleeved shirt made from TENCEL™ is very soft and skin-friendly. It is therefore particularly comfortable to wear if you have sensitive skin.
In winter and for the transition from one season to the next, we recommend our long-sleeved shirts made of organic new wool. It is precisely the natural properties of wool that we love and appreciate in all weathers. Clothing made of wool is antibacterial, which means it hardly absorbs odors and rarely needs to be washed. It is also windproof, temperature-regulating and durable. Our thin long-sleeved shirts made of organic new wool add warmth to any outfit, whether as a "second skin" directly on the skin or as an eye-catcher under a blazer, sweatshirt or cardigan.

Our conclusion: A long-sleeved shirt is a must

Overall, sustainable long-sleeved shirts are a great choice for people who want to reduce their carbon footprint on the earth without sacrificing fashion and style. Whether it's organic cotton long-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts made of wool such as Merino, or TENCEL™ long-sleeved shirts - we have many sustainable alternatives that you can integrate into your wardrobe.
