Sandbanks Clothing

Sandbanks ethos has been driven by the excessive consumption culture prevalent in society today which has led to devastating consequences for the planet. The desire to consume more has created a culture contributing to prevalent climate issues, such as the plastic epidemic, carbon emissions, and unsustainable fashion practices. Plastic pollution has become a major threat, with over 6.3 billion tons never making it into recycling and endangering marine life.

Fashion consumption has also increased, leading to £140 million worth of clothing ending up in UK landfills each year. The use of real fur and down in traditional luxury fashion has also been challenged, and opting for eco-friendly alternatives can save millions of animals from exploitation. It is becoming increasingly clear that sustainable, responsible, and ethical options are necessary to combat these issues and protect our future.

Sandbanks has a loyal celebrity following including Tyson & Paris Fury, Steven Gerrard, Michelle Keegan and Maya Jama.

What materials does Sandbanks use in its clothing?

Sandbanks uses exclusively recycled and regenerated materials: ECONYL® nylon reclaimed from ocean and landfill waste, Thermore® Ecodown® insulation made from 100% recycled PET bottles, RPET recycled polyester for outer shells, Polartec® Recycled Fleece for linings, and Lampo® Italian zippers with a 10-year lifespan. Fabrics carry bluesign®, OEKO-TEX, and GRS/GOTS certifications.

Are Sandbanks jackets warm when wet?

Yes. The insulation used — Thermore® Ecodown® — is engineered specifically to retain warmth when damp, unlike conventional down which collapses when wet. This makes Sandbanks insulated jackets and gilets practical for unpredictable British weather conditions.

What sizes does Sandbanks clothing come in?

Sandbanks offers an unusually wide size range: XS through to 6XL across most styles. Fits are true to size; gilets are cut slightly slimmer than jackets, so size up one if you plan to layer underneath.

How does Sandbanks offset its environmental impact?

Sandbanks partners with Ecologi and plants one mangrove tree for every garment sold, offsetting approximately 30 kg of CO2 per item. Combined with the use of regenerated and recycled materials throughout the range, this forms part of a broader sustainability commitment.

How do Sandbanks pieces compare to Belstaff or Barbour?

Sandbanks sits in the premium-but-accessible bracket (typically £40–£350) versus heritage-priced Belstaff (£195–£995) and Barbour (£79–£499). Sandbanks differs by using recycled ocean-bound plastic across the full range — jackets through to t-shirts — with Lampo® Italian zips and Thermore® Ecodown® insulation on outerwear, and a cleaner, more contemporary cut than the heritage British brands.

What does a Sandbanks piece cost?

At OD's, Sandbanks pricing runs roughly £40–£60 for t-shirts, £55–£90 for polos, £75–£140 for hoodies and sweatshirts, £55–£110 for shorts and gilets, and £150–£350 for jackets and parkas depending on insulation. The womens range follows similar bands.
