The Process

All the t-shirts within our collection have been manufactured using 100% organic ring spun combed cotton. We were drawn to this way of manufacturing due to the distinct difference in quality and feel of the cotton in comparison to the other options available to us.

So what makes this type of cotton different to regular cotton?

Combed cotton is a softer version of regular cotton. It's made by further treating the cotton after it's been picked and before it's used to manufacture. The combing process cleans out all the impurities and any foreign substances.

*****

In the ring spun process the yarn is made by continuously twisting and thinning the strands making a very fine rope of cotton fibres. The twisting process allows the short hairs of the cotton to stand out which results in a much stronger yarn. The number of times the fibre is twisted determines how soft the fabric will be.

*****

Whereby regular cotton is more open ended and fibres run in different directions, ringspun cotton is twisted much tighter and the fibres are aligned to go in the same direction. Shorter fibres stick out making the garment feel softer.

*****

Ringspun cotton is not only extremely soft, more comfortable and breathable, it's more durable so your tee will stand the test of time. The quality of the cotton we've chosen to work with makes it the optimal base for screen printing. Check out the vibrancy and finish of the art on our tees.

No dyeing has been involved in the production of our raw cotton tees. The fabric is textured with tiny specs of the original cotton plant, including seed particles, which shows the true essence and pure effect of the cotton.
