The EcoMan:

Men at Work

Contributed By: ecofabulous

A good man is hard to find. And a good man with style and a passion for the environment? Ladies when you meet him, you’ve found the one. In lieu of having every one of the 100 qualities you dreamed up on your “list,” you can easily supplement his style. Cue hard graft, purveyors of fine lifestyle accessories.

From handsome murses (read: man purse) to slick cases for his iPad or Kindle, hard graft has an elevated style that we have yet to find in sustainable men’s goods, though we’d be happy to sport most of this stuff around town ourselves too! With a look and quality we’ve come to expect from European designers (hard graft headquarters are in Austria), the team describes their product look and sensibility perfectly: “We’re cosmopolitan but prefer to be surrounded by nature. We’re understated and refined but rough at the same time. We’re masculine but with a sensitive touch. We’re all about the details yet we keep it simple. We’re juxtaposed.”

And the eco credentials? The products are made with 100% wool felt (a sustainable natural fiber) and vegetable tanned leather, which means that they use natural dyes instead of the conventional toxic chromium method. A great gift for the man in your life (pair the moleskin cover with one of these), these products give new meaning to the term “working class hero.”
