About Adam Siskind
Style and purpose converged when textile engineer Adam Siskind founded eco-friendly sportswear company Playback Clothing. Inspired by An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s award-winning educational documentary about global warming, Adam Siskind began to take note of the materials frequently used in his designs. Adam Siskind realized the recycled yarn he had already been using for nearly a decade came from the planet’s most sustainable sources. As he designed and manufactured Playback Clothing’s first line of t-shirt and sweatshirt apparel, Adam Siskind formed a company philosophy that makes practicing green design fun, affordable, and fashionable.
Adam Siskind’s company offers honest information about the origins of its materials and conducts Life Cycle Analysis studies on the production of its sweatshirts. Operating under a platform of transparency, Adam Siskind shares with consumers how every t-shirt, sweatshirt, and hoodie is made. Developing trademark Eco-Logic fabrics, Adam Siskind utilizes collected recyclable materials like PET bottles and cotton remnants for Playback Clothing’s apparel. Adam Siskind’s Eco-Logic fabrics retain the color of the original components when spun into new yarn, minimizing waste, energy, and dye chemicals.
Since Adam Siskind created Playback Clothing in 2008, the company has caught the attention of leading fashion, pop culture, and environmental blogs, magazines, and news outlets. The Los Angeles Times praised Adam Siskind for choosing sourced materials for Playback Clothing’s t-shirts, which use about 8.5 plastic bottles worth of yarn each, rather than simply relying on organically grown cottons. Adam Siskind’s environmentally sound and cost-conscious products were also featured on blogger Perez Hilton’s fashion website, cocoperez.com. Hollywood’s A-List celebrities, like Adrian Grenier, Bono, Katie Holmes, and the Gossip Girl cast, have been photographed wearing Playback Clothing t-shirts and sweatshirts. Playback Clothing has also been the favored apparel brand for concert merchandise from U2, Phish, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, and Wilco. Consumers sharing Adam Siskind’s sustainable fashion way of life can pick up their Playback Clothing from playbackclothing.com and at select retail locations nationwide.
