There is something inherently cool about being environmentally conscious. From Tesla’s upcoming roadster, which looks to edge out all other supercars with its eco-credentials, to 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, the trendiest and most sustainable hotel in New York, it’s fashionable to care about more than just your profit margins.
Here at Gentleman’s Journal, we can’t help but agree — and one particular new brand has caught our eye. Fighetti, a homage to Italian lifestyle and the producers of some of the most comfortable swim shorts we’ve ever tried, have just launched their new collection. And it’s as eco-friendly as they come.
The ‘Blu Line’ range, inspired by the Amalfi Coasts’ perfect coastlines, small beaches and stunning views, is made with polyamide. And, to keep up their eco-credentials, this polyamide is made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon that turns waste, partly recovered from the ocean, into brand new nylon yarn.

Pollution and sustainability obviously begins and ends with the ocean, so Fighetti are keen to clean up the waters in which they enjoy taking a dip. This new collection is the perfect way to do that, and really swims the extra yard in doing so. Not only are the swim shorts sustainably-produced themselves, but even the gift box they are delivered in is made from recycled material.
It’s not all about the eco-credentials, however. The shorts themselves are among the best on the market, in both style and practicality. Every pocket has a zip fastening, and is deep enough for an iPhone 8+.

They are designed in solid colours for versatility, and are designed for long summer’s days — the type where a morning swim makes way for a four-hour lunch and an evening lounging on the warm, powder beach.
Comfort comes at the heart of all Fighetti do. Now in their third season, the brand have overhauled the way they produce their swim shorts’ inner linings to minimise itchiness. They have created a cut and pattern than translates from beach to pool to city street effortlessly. And their use of ECONYL®, of course, also affords you peace of mind when it comes to sustainability.
It’s a brand on the rise — just check out their Instagram here — so we advise you dive into Fighetti right now…
