MAAP has launched the latest collection from its OffCuts program, an initiative that was first launched in 2021. Utilising excess fabric from previous production runs, the Melbourne-based apparel brand creates sustainable new takes on some of its signature items each with a unique look.
This season, the Prime Vest and Jacket receive the OffCuts treatment, the first time that outerwear has featured. MAAP has created six new styles in a limited collection of just 200 items, with each carrying a handwritten label indicating its unique position in the production run.
OffCuts was created in response to MAAP’s search for an environmentally friendly solution to the problem of excess fabric waste from manufacturing processes. The result is positioned as a direct and visible way in which customers can show their support for MAAP’s efforts to make its products more sustainable.
Constructed from a breathable, windproof Polartec Neoshell fabric, the Prime Jacket and Vest are easy to stow, feature a 10k waterproof rating as well as Thermo taped seams and reflective graphics.
More OffCuts collections are on the way later this year as part of a wider progression from MAAP towards improved sustainability practices. The effort has already seen the use of 70% recycled materials in its signature Evade and Training jerseys alongside widespread use of Bluesign and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics.
