Our Materials Choice
At Ocean Tailored, we craft our custom wetsuits using Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene—a premium material that’s entirely petroleum-free. Made from over 99.7% calcium carbonate sourced from limestone, this neoprene is a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional petrochemical- based options.
Unlike standard neoprene, Yamamoto’s manufacturing process uses hydroelectric energy and avoids harmful by products. Even the heat generated during production is repurposed for use in eel nurseries, a key part of Japanese aquaculture. The result? A wetsuit material that performs exceptionally while treading lightly on the planet.
