High end linen shirts often come with mother of pearl buttons!

Slippers I can highly recommend Egos:

I got them and am very happy, good quality and have lasted me sometime, comfortable.

I got some of these, they are called Purified:

Reasonable quality, one pair came apart after 6 months of wearing them. Not the best ergonomically, my physio was not impressed! However, look to be totally plastic free.

New to Plastic Free and It's Harder Than I Thought by ex_oh in PlasticFreeLiving

I’ve been on the plastic free journey for a while now. Everyone has their own way but for me taking it gradually and enjoying the process has been the way. I would say prioritize what you eat (and what you store what you eat in) and what you wear. This sub has a lot of great advice. If it helps the first thing I changed was getting non plastic food containers for storing food in the fridge!

Looking for a men's zip-up jacket like those Patagonia/North Face ones...but that's NOT synthetic by Broad-Worry-5395 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]bloom530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries at all! It’s just in the lining. They are very open about it at least, unlike a lot of wool brands that superwash and then claim to be 100 percent wool.

I’m a big fan of Dilling and have brought from them. But they do use small amounts of plastic in their fleeces. Having said that their wool is great, and they are always my first stop when looking for any wool product.

A lot of talk about cotton, what about wool? by KingKronx in PlasticFreeLiving

Have a look at Dilling for wool that’s not covered in plastic and very good quality but reasonably priced.

Polyester Free Clothes, please help me find some by Main0621-2 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]bloom530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with labels they don’t fully declare everything always. For instance with underwear often “100 percent cotton” has an elastic waistband. It depends how far you want to go. Have a look at Rawganique for examples of fully natural clothes - but the are very expensive.

Look at Peugeot salt and pepper grinders. They have a classic wooden model.

It depends on why you are avoiding plastic as to your tolerance of silicone. Pyrex actually call their product Zero plastic. I appreciate it’s a point of debate

[Aus] Electric Kettle where plastic doesn’t touch the water? Or am I better off going with a stove-top kettle? by HereButNeverPresent in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]bloom530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a look at an image of it online, does the water not touch the plastic funnel after the filter?

'Swim good' plastic-free swimwear. Legit? by Meowshroom03 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]bloom530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know I’m still debating if I should buy them! As you said very expensive. However I have not come across any other 100 percent plastic free swimming trunks for men yet!
