Sustainability Practices

People 
Are they Local: Assisi Garments (their manufacturer) invests in the community by supporting various social projects, including an old age home and children's orphanage in South India. Although, the garments are made abroad, the brand is completely transparent about where and who makes each item.
Are they Fair Trade or Paid a living Wage: Fair Trade Certified

Materials
Organic Materials: Yes. Mostly organic. They avoid the use of all hazardous chemicals and use only AZO-free and low-impact dyes. The Good Tee Team consider the bio-degradability and sustainability of our trims. For buttons, instead of plastic, they looked to nature and use coconut and seashell buttons. They also use YKK NATULON® zippers. Made from post-consumer chemically recycled polyester, they are perpetually recyclable.
Cruelty Free: Yes.
Vegan: Yes.

Manufacturing
Environmental Conscious Processing: Organic cotton doesn’t damage the soil and has less impact on air quality. Growing organic cotton means farmers and their families are not exposed to toxic chemicals in the field or through their food and water supply.

Reduced amount of Water, Waste, Carbon and Pollution: Organic Cotton uses 71% less water and 62% less energy compared to conventional cotton.
Organic Cotton uses 71% less water and 62% less energy compared to conventional cotton. The absence of chemicals means that any runoff water is cleaner and safer. They avoid the use of all hazardous chemicals and use only AZO-free and low-impact dyes. The dye companies the Good Tee partners with are connected to a water effluent treatment plant that recycles and reuses water."

Reduced amount of Water, Waste, Carbon and Pollution: Buffalo horns are organic materials, a byproduct of waste, and created through a chemical-free process. While these horns are sourced in Vietnam, each, one-of-a-kind piece is designed and assembled in California to ensure the highest quality.
