Cotton is a natural plant fiber that is favored for its softness, breathability and comfort. It grows in warm climates on 6 continents. High quality cotton is easy to care for, due to its ability to withstand washing, detergents and heat.

Linen is a natural fiber from the flax plant and is one of the oldest cultivated plant fibers. It has exceptional ability to keep skin cool in warm weather, due to its airflow, wicking, and crisp fibers that stand away from body. Twice as strong as cotton, it becomes softer over time, while maintaining its exceptional durability.

This mill was founded in the 1950s, when it produced cotton fabrics for clothing and industrial use. They began making denim in 1960, switching fully to rope-dyed denim production in the 1970s. They are one of few mills today that still produce rope-dyed denim, which is valued by denim aficionados because of the authentic process and way the fabric develops a coveted fade that isn’t possible in mass-produced jeans. This mill takes measures to live in harmony with its local community and the natural environment. While most indigo dye used for industrial purposes is synthetic, they are increasing the use of natural indigo plants. They also pride themselves in organic cotton, which is not only better for environmental and human health, but also has a better feel on one's skin. In terms of water management, they work directly with the public water system. They purify all wastewater and return it to the land for agricultural use. They are considerate of energy sources too, using LED lights in all facilities to decrease power consumption. They have solar panels in all three of their plants, which offsets power from sources that pollute the environment. Currently, the solar power generates 10% of their energy consumption. They are actively working to increase the percentage of energy that comes from solar. They have the following certifications: OEKO-TEX 100 Standard - Certified and the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI).
