We make stuff you love to wear as much as your old favorite t-shirt — with the lowest environmental impact we can.

Here's how we're doing.

Our Custom Fabrics

In case you didn't know, we're pretty obsessed with fabric. We've custom-developed over 100 fabrics. Our goal is to maximize our use of fabrics that minimize our environmental impact.

Where We're At

41%

of our newly-developed fabrics in 2018 used sustainable materials.

Next Year's Plan

75%

of our newly-developed fabrics in 2019 will use sustainable materials.

Here are the four pillars of regenerative,
low-impact materials we use in our custom fabrics:

Recycled Plastic

Old plastic bottles melted
down and spun back into fiber.

Upcycled Cotton

Made from breaking down old
tees our community donated.

Tencel

Made from the wood
pulp of eucalyptus trees.

MicroModal

A fine cellulosic fiber
from recycled beech wood.

Honorable Mentions: Alpaca, Linen, Organic Cotton, Hemp

Our Clothes

Fast fashion isn’t our style. We make an effort to reduce unnecessary waste wherever we can.

Where We're At

33%

of all clothes made in 2018 were made with eco-friendly fabrics.

Next Year's Plan

55%

of all clothes made in 2019 will be made with eco-friendly fabrics.

Made in small batches

Meaning no mass production. Everything we make, we sell.

Quality built to last

And endure your washing machine’s wrath for years.

Tees made to be recycled*

Over them? We’ll take ‘em back and turn them into brand new tees.

* Although you’ll probably just pass them down to your grandchildren — along with your finest china.

Pssst…. Fabrics scraps make up some of the pockets in our pocket tees.

Our Supply Chain

This is basically a fancy word for the back end of our product — aka where the magic happens.
It includes:
- Turning materials into fabrics
- Making fabric into clothing
- Getting stuff delivered

Where We're At

23%

of our factories have an active WRAP-certification.

100%

of our boxes are recycled in our warehouse.

Next Year's Plan

80%

of our factories will have an active WRAP-certification by 2020.

We’re working on finding a solution for the industry-wide problem of receiving items individually wrapped in plastic.

We're picky about who we work with

We work with independent facility certification programs like WRAP. A handful of our factories already are already certified, but we're committed to doing more.

Fair pay and ethical work conditions are important to us — so we make sure everyone’s on the same page.
100% of our supply chain partners have signed our code of conduct.
