Organic Cotton Ring Spun Combed motorbike apparel

All of our biker T-shirts and motorcycle sweatshirts are made by a Belgian apparel company producing premium clothing, in a sustainable way and  are made exclusively from 100% ring spun organic cotton. Fibre  selection  has  a  considerable  impact  on  how  long  a  garment  will  last  and how easily it can be recycled. This defines both the product quality and its  environmental  footprint

What is ring spun combed cotton?

The term refers to the process of cotton manufacturing. After selecting the highest quality fibers, they go through a spinning process, which makes them softer, finer, stronger and more durable. Another step up in the process is combing, which removes any impurities and imperfect strands. This all makes the cotton superior and less prone to shrinkage than uncombed and open end cotton, which make up for most of the cotton garment production worldwide.

What is organic cotton?

100% organic cotton is grown only from seeds that have not been genetically modified (non-GMO) and cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. 

Globally, only a very small portion of the cotton produced annually is organic. Cultivating organic cotton ensures that no harmful chemicals flow into the soil or into adjoining rivers, lakes or seas. This means that the water used for organic farming is not considered as lost water, as it can be used again and can safely return to the soil and other water sources. The overall positive effect on water, soil and biodiversity means that the well-being and livelihood of cotton farmers and their communities is respected and protected.
