SAYLOR NYC's Sustainability Rating
Great
Raw Materials
Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials SAYLOR NYC uses. It appears to use a majority of high emissions materials, including conventional cotton, acryclic, nylon, elastane, wool, polyester, and metallic thread, though it makes select garments with good fibers, including hemp, and recycled polyester. It has plans to improve its materials mix via small-scale releases with 'alternative textiles', but doesn't report on progress.
Energy Use & Production
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's energy use. SAYLOR NYC sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.
Packaging & Distribution
SAYLOR NYC doesn't use virgin plastic in its packaging. Its packaging materials include fully recycled plastic, compostable bags, plantable seed paper, and 100% biodegradable, compostable, and/or recycled materials.
Repair & Care
SAYLOR NYC doesn't offer repair services or a warranty. It sells items that require dry cleaning, which increases the emissions of an item with each wash.
Take Back Programs
SAYLOR NYC has a take back program, Saylor Full Circle, that accepts this brand's clothing for resale. It doesn't share details on the efficacy or impact of this program.
Slow Fashion
Commons couldn't find enough information on this brand's production strategy. For a small brand, we assume they have some limits on overproduction and frequent releases due to their scale of operations.
Marketing
Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Transparency & Reporting
SAYLOR NYC has a prominent sustainability page that includes information on emissions measurement, emissions reduction, circularity, materials, and packaging. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date.

SAYLOR NYC internally measures its overall emissions and reports them on an organization level. Its 2023 estimated total was 2524 t CO2e.
Emissions Targets
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for SAYLOR NYC, though it shares interim reduction plans. It's climate neutral certified and offsets its full value chain emissions
Supply Chain & Labor
SAYLOR NYC doesn't publish information about its supply chain partners. It doesn't have, or doesn't make public, any supplier code of conduct.
SAYLOR NYC has a Good rating because it has worked to minimize its emissions and packaging waste. Though it appears to still be reliant on high emissions materials, it takes responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering a resale program. It has also eliminated virgin plastic in its packaging and uses biodegradable and compostable packaging.
