Not scored. This is a list of individual products, not a FabricTruth score.
Beach-casual menswear. About half the men’s styles we read are 100% natural fiber, mostly linen and organic-cotton shirts and knits; stretch pants, swim and much of the outerwear are blends.
What else Faherty sells
About half of Faherty’s men’s styles we read are 100% natural fiber, mostly linen and organic-cotton shirts, tees and sweaters. Most pants and shorts add elastane or recycled polyester, the swimwear is synthetic, and many jackets blend in polyester or nylon. The Legend Sweater Shirt is mostly recycled polyester. Fiber content can also differ between colorways of the same style, so check the label for the color you buy.
- Pants and shorts: 31 of 36 styles we parsed contain elastane, polyester or nylon (e.g. Stretch Terry, Movement chinos)
- Outerwear: 25 of 45 styles we parsed contain synthetics
- Swim: all 6 styles we parsed are synthetic
- The Legend Sweater Shirt and Legend layers: mostly recycled polyester with viscose
- The Movement line (e.g. Movement Shirt, Movement Chino Short): recycled nylon or Coolmax polyester with elastane
- Colorway differences: the Stretch Terry 5-Pocket reads 83% cotton/16% recycled polyester in Abyss Navy but no polyester in Navy

How we checked
275 styles checked from 282 men’s styles in stock (1,433 listings with colorways merged; 319 licensed college and NBA listings left out), on Oct 31, 2026. Every style, not a sample: fiber content read from the description in Faherty’s public product feed, one colorway per style. 275 of 282 had a readable composition. Main fabric only; linings and trims not counted. Not weighted by sales. Because some styles change fiber by colorway, a few results may differ for other colors.

| 100% natural fiber shell | 139 | 51% |
| Natural + regenerated cellulose (modal, lyocell, viscose), no synthetics | 12 | 4% |
