Unlike industry-standard petroleum-based dyes, this shirt is dyed with organic indigo leaves, oak galls, pomegranate peels and wood from the Campeche tree.

Indigo leaf dye has been safely used for thousands of years (dating back to 2000-3000 B.C.) for its ability to make strong and beautiful blues. In the 1800s, natural indigo was almost completely replaced by synthetic indigo, which is derived from the known toxin aniline - a chemical that has been used to make rocket fuel.

Oak has natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce skin irritation.

Pomegranate peels are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, even more than the juicy pomegranate seeds. The peels are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and are consistently used in beauty products for maintaining healthy skin.

Wood from the Campeche tree (also known as logwood) has been safely used in Europe since the 1500s, and by the Mayans for hundreds of years before that. It is prized for creating longlasting blacks with the addition of iron.

The entire production of this sweatshirt, from the growing of the organic cotton to the manufacture is GOTS certified, which in additional to its strict environmental standards, also certifies that every company involved in production provides fair wages and safe working conditions.

This sweatshirt is made with GOTS certified organic cotton fabric and plant dyes - the highest standard in organic. Every single step of in the creation of this piece, from the growing of the cotton, to final manufacture, is independently verified to be organic.

After manufacture, the sweatshirt was locally plant dyed in Los Angeles. Plant dyes do not produce toxic run-off like conventional (and other organic dyes) and plant dyes remove carbon from the air during the plant's growth, helping reverse the cause of global climate change.
