Dark Hollow | Dion Agius

Dark Hollow is a project inspired by Dion’s home state of Tasmania, Australia, and is dedicated to supporting the future of the Tasmanian Wilderness. Featuring the illustrations of LA artist Nathan Kostechko.

Dion stated: “Joe G and I have been working on Dark Hollow for the past few years. It’s grown and evolved over time, but it has always taken its core inspiration from my home state of Tasmania. The film is our vision of how the world could be if we looked after it, and features appearances from some of my best friends, including Craig Anderson and Chippa Wilson.”

Sustainability

More sustainable fibres and materials mean more durable products that are Low Velocity and have less impact on the environment.

Organic Cotton

Cotton grown with organic agricultural methods uses fewer pesticides than conventional cotton and therefore reduces exposure to toxic chemicals that can end up in the ground, air, water and our food chain. Organic farming can also reduce the pesticide exposure risks for farmers along with cotton and textile workers. For our first Low Velocity range, all cotton stock was sourced from organic yarn and future ranges will carry more explicit certification.

Recycled Polyester

Using recycled polyester fibres made from material like plastic bottles (rPET) instead of virgin polyester, we’re preventing wasteful landfill, saving energy and reducing the need for the primary extraction of crude oil.

Cocotex® Coconut Polyester

COCOTEX® upcycles coconut husks into activated carbon that is then mixed with polyester, creating a fast drying, odour resistant yarn. Over 20 billion coconuts are harvested each year and the majority of their outer husks treated as a waste product. With COCOTEX® we’re using a more sustainable fibre along with avoiding landfill waste.

PFOA-Free Durable Water Repellent

Water and stain repellent coatings help you stay dry and clean, and keep your clothing in good condition for longer. Traditionally Durable Water Repellent (DWR) formulas used potentially toxic Perflourooctanoic acid (PFOA) to produce such coatings, but with the Low Velocity range, we choose to use PFOA-Free formulas avoid these chemicals.

PVC and Phthalate Free Inks

Garment screen printing has traditionally employed PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) based inks. These chemicals can include phthalates which can be harmful to human health. Avoiding their use means safer conditions for workers and safer products all round. Low Velocity product does not contain any PVC or Phthalate-based inks.

YKK Natulon® Recycled Tapings

Made by the established leading zip manufacturer worldwide, YKK, Natulon® zipper tapings use recycled plastic to keep more waste out of our landfills and reduce reliance on sourcing virgin plastics from the oil industry. That’s why we’ve chosen Natulon® as the default zipper tapings on all Low Velocity products. See NATULON for more.
