100% Handpicked Tanguis Cotton
Long Strand Cotton Fibers in a graphic tee? Yep.Graphics are rad, especially from our graphic team. But so is the fabric story behind our graphic tees.
Tanguis Cotton is a unique variety of cotton grown is Peru, believed to produce some of the best cotton in the world by a combination of climate, soil, and altitude. The cotton in our tees is harvested by hand, in contrast to some industrial sized operations. Machine harvesting cotton is an efficient way, but not always the best for the integrity of the cotton. We prefer cotton grown and harvested the traditional way. Especially if you are wearing it on your back. You want a t-shirt not a back scratcher.
Is it sustainable? The Tanguis Cotton in our Graphic Tees is grown is Peru, and once harvested, spun into yarn, and made into tees in Peru not far from where it is grown. The impact is minimal, everything is done in Peru from sowing the seed to the finished product, graphic and all. Once the tees are ready to go they are shipped out to our warehouse in Montana.

Haven't heard about Tanguis Cotton? Tanguis cotton was developed by Fermin Tanguis in 1911 (by the process of hybridization) as a solution to the Peru's cotton plague at the time. Tanguis is not only inherently resistant to disease but drought tolerant and more productive. This translates to less insecticide and pesticides, which is better for the health of local ecosystems and field workers. Tanguis cotton goes to harvest 6 times annually, whereas other varieties are only harvested once a year. The Tanguis Cotton plant produces cotton with longer and thicker fibers (40% longer), making it more durable and more luxurious to the touch. Think of this like the fibers in a floor rug or carpet. A long fiber rug is plush and feels great when you sit or lie down on it, where a short carpet feels rough and uncomfortable.
