The Threads of Origin: GOTS Certified Organic Cotton for Lasting Quality
Our "Powered By Blue" sweatshirt begins its life not on a factory floor, but in fields guided by stringent organic standards. We exclusively use 80% GOTS-certified organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It ensures that every step, from farming to finishing, meets rigorous environmental and social criteria. This means no harmful pesticides are used in cotton cultivation, protecting ecosystems and the health of the farmers. For us, GOTS isn't just a label; it's a promise of integrity woven into the very fabric of our apparel, ensuring the durability and vibrant feel that lasts well beyond October. Learn more about why this matters on our GOTS certification guide.
The inclusion of 20% recycled polyester also speaks to our commitment to circularity. By utilizing recycled materials, we reduce waste and lower the demand for virgin resources. This blend, carefully chosen for its durability and mid-weight feel (280 GSM), is what gives the "Powered By Blue" sweatshirt its unique character and lasting quality—a true investment.
Our commitment to transparency means you know exactly what you're investing in, from the soil to your closet, ensuring a garment that stands the test of time.
Ethical Stitching: A Partnership with Fair Wear Foundation Members
The journey continues in Bangladesh, where our garments are sewn by a supplier that is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation. This is crucial. Membership in the Fair Wear Foundation means our manufacturing partner is independently audited and committed to upholding high labor standards. They ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and reasonable working hours for the people who bring our designs to life. This isn't a 'certification' in the typical sense, but a verified commitment to human dignity, an essential part of our ethical equation.
This conscious manufacturing approach, combined with the use of certified organic and recycled materials, accounts for the price. It's an investment in quality, sustainability, and fairness—a stark contrast to the hidden costs often associated with fast fashion. We believe you deserve to know the full story behind your clothes.

Why We Made This
This piece was designed in Boston to address the demand for unisex organic mid-weight sweatshirt. Our material claims rest on our supplier's third-party certificates — not marketing spin.
The material facts
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification requires certified organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, and audits each processing stage up to our supplier's finished blank. We don't just say "organic" — we name the standards and who holds the certificates: our supplier, not us.
Our Anti-Fast-Fashion Commitment
Fast fashion is built on overproduction — clothes made in volume before anyone has asked for them. We print to order, so nothing is made speculatively and nothing is sent to landfill unsold. Higher upfront cost, no overproduction.
