Materials science: Organic cotton

Natural. Skin-friendly. Responsible.

Organic cotton is a high-quality natural fiber cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It stands for high wearing comfort, durability, and a more conscious approach to resources – ideal for shirts, hoodies, long-sleeves, and other textiles worn directly on the skin.

What is organic cotton?

Organic cotton comes from controlled organic cultivation. Unlike conventional cotton, harmful chemicals are avoided during cultivation. This protects soils, water resources, and results in a particularly skin-friendly fiber.

Due to its natural structure, organic cotton is breathable, robust, and versatile.

Properties & Benefits of Organic Cotton

• Skin-friendly & soft

• Breathable – comfortable even with prolonged wear

• Robust & durable

• Moisture-regulating

• Grown without chemical pesticides

• Ideal for sensitive skin

Organic cotton is particularly suitable for garments where comfort, quality, and everyday suitability are paramount.

Areas of Application for Organic Cotton

We primarily use organic cotton for:

• T-shirts & Girlie Shirts

• Longsleeves

• Hoodies & Sweatshirts

• Basics & Scene Wear

Especially in the Gothic and Alternative scene, organic cotton is a reliable basis for high-quality prints and durable clothing.

Care & Cleaning of Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is easy to care for, but should be treated gently:

• Machine wash at low to medium temperature

• Wash inside out (recommended for printed textiles)

• No tumble drying for longer durability

• Iron at medium temperature

Proper care preserves shape, color, and print for a long time.

Organic Cotton & Responsibility

The cultivation of organic cotton:

In combination with durable processing, organic cotton is a conscious choice for clothing that not only looks good but can also be worn for a long time.
