About our Cotton

 

CLOSER TO EARTH

Ever wondered why your Mount Sunny shirts get more comfortable with every wash & wear?

Our t-shirts are born from organic cotton grown on 100+ year old farms that have been certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture since 1992.*

 

MAKING THE LAND BETTER WITH EACH SEASON

Soil health is the future of our health. Organic farming practices maintain the rich fertile soil that go into each shirt. These practices include:

• Crop rotations

• Enhancing the habitat for beneficial insects

• Nothing added or taken out besides cotton

• Cultivating for weed control

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT GOES IN AND ON YOUR BODY

A value that we encourage is holding the same standard of what you put in your body to what you put on your body. For us, this means clothing that is made with  absolutely no synthetic dyes or additives, that encourages better soil health, utilizes organic processes, results in minimal waste (less than 1% waste per t-shirt pattern), and producing t-shirts that are 100% Made in the USA, grown and sewn by American workers being paid a fair and lawful wage. 

The result is a product that is made of the land, will return to the land, and in the meantime will provide a new level of coziness with a relaxed fit.

 

*U.S. Organic Standards require 3 years of chemical-free farming before being allowed to be labeled as "certified organic"
