Materials

We use only 100% organic, premium cotton sourced from Peru and made into shorts in New York City.

We use 100% organic because even "ordinary" cotton is now predominantly genetically-modified to include certain known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Not good for you, a living thing. We also want premium construction and quality as these are workout shorts and need to stand the test of heat, sweat and rugged movement. We didn't want fragile shorts that fell apart after a few wears.

We also wanted to make sure our production process was secure and clean the way we want. We found this best done by Peruvian cotton fabric producers - some of the best in the world. We then make the shorts just down the block here in New York City's historic Garment District. 

Ultimately we want to make sure we're making the best product that aligns with our mission for clean clothes that look great and last. Add the good stuff, subtract the bad stuff. Addition by Subtraction. Take a stand for your health as a Firstman.
