Verified Materials for Real Comfort and Resilience
Comfort and durability are not compromises. This hoodie uses an 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester blend, striking a crucial balance between softness and the structural integrity needed for daily wear. The mid-weight 280 GSM fabric provides a substantial feel without being cumbersome, ideal for layering through long shifts or changing weather.
Our commitment to verified materials is central to every piece. For instance, conventional cotton accounts for roughly 16% of global insecticide use — Textile Exchange. By choosing GOTS-certified organic cotton, we significantly reduce this environmental impact. This hoodie carries the following certifications:
- GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): Ensures the organic status of textiles from harvesting of the raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing.
- OCS (Organic Content Standard): Verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product.
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard): Certifies recycled content and responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices in production.
- PETA-Approved Vegan: Confirms that no animal products were used in its creation, across our apparel and tote offerings.
Our supplier, Stanley/Stella, is also a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, which actively audits labor conditions across their supply chain. This means the people who cut and sew our garments work under verified ethical conditions, honoring the spirit of Labor Day in every thread.
The Fabric That Works As Hard As You Do

It’s designed to handle the daily tasks, the workshop, or the casual outing without losing its shape or feel. It’s the dependable layer you reach for, knowing it’s built to last.
