Our Promise to Earth
We promise to prioritize "Earth first" sustainable practices across all areas of our business whenever possible. This includes product development, packaging/supplies, operations, and general business practices.
Impact
ENERGY
More than 40% of our manufacturing facilities' energy supply comes directly from solar generated power. The 60kw system on the facility produces 206.7 MWh of electricity per year!
WATER
Our manufacturing facilities house their own water treatment plants, enabling the water used for production to be treated and reused, drastically reducing overall water waste throughout the total manufacturing process.
TRANSPORT
All elements of production take place within a 55-mile radius. This requires significantly less transport of raw materials during development, reducing our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.
WASTE
Apparel production results in a massive amount of unused materials/scraps. We reduce waste by reusing the extra material for samples, showcase displays, and more.
CIRCULARITY
We do our best to always utilize packaging and supply materials that can not only be recycled, but are made with as much recycled content as possible, emphasizing post-consumer waste.
This reduces waste, carbon emissions, pollution, and resource extraction.
GOTS Certified Organic

The Standard
GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. The rigorous criteria set forth by GOTS ensures that no shortcuts are taken in the entirety of the production process. GOTS is the global gold standard of organic certifications.

Why GOTS?
Apparel can be labeled "organic" even if it only contains a minimal percentage of organic materials, & often fails to take the different steps of the production process into consideration. GOTS certified garments must adhere to the highest standard of organic testing during the entirety of the process from cotton seed to finished garment.
