The organic cotton is pre-shrunk before cutting & sewing to minimise shrinkage, but do allow for a small amount of shrinkage on first wash (3-4%).

A note about our Fairtrade cotton

All of the cotton is Fairtrade certified, traded, audited and sourced from Fairtrade producers. Visit www.info.fairtrade.net

Our most recent batch of T-shirts have the FAIRTRADE Cotton Mark on the label, but some T-shirts from previous batches don’t include the FAIRTRADE Cotton Mark.

Here’s the reason why:

In order to use the FAIRTRADE Cotton Mark the full supply chain for the cotton needs to be certified by FLOCERT (the global independent certification body for Fairtrade). Our factory already had GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and Fair Trade USA certification, but in order to label goods with the FAIRTRADE Cotton Mark, they also needed to be certified by FLOCERT. So over the past year, we’ve been working with the Fairtrade system and our factory to obtain certification for the seed cotton we use. This year, the factory received the certification which means the seed cotton used in the T-shirts is now fully traceable throughout the supply chain, so our latest T-shirts now include the FAIRTRADE Cotton Mark 🙌
