Bamboo T-Shirts [4 colours]
£14.00
This mix of 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton gives these t-shirts an ultra soft feel – if you’ve never tried one, we highly recommend it.
As well as black and white, these t-shirts are available in Atlantic Blue and Atlantic Grey – we think these colours reflect well the hues you can see in those deep atlantic waters.
These t-shirts are not only soft, the bamboo has some other great characteristics – the fibres are strong and they have anti-bacterial properties – see the Fabrics section below for other bamboo bonuses.
Size Guide
Caring for your T-Shirt
A big chunk of the environmental impact a garment has occurs once it’s in your hands. These guidelines not only ensure that your garment will last, but also help to keep the planet cool.
- Only wash when it really needs it – bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and resistant to odours. This saves energy, water, your time and extends its life.
- When it’s ready for a wash, turn it inside out. This reduces the abrasion on the outside of the garment, and helps it to keep looking crisp for longer.
- Wash at 30 degrees. Yep, I know, we wash colours at 40 right? Well, there’s no need – it’ll look and smell just great when washed at 30deg (as will most of your clothes!). It’ll also help to cut your electricity bill too – winner!
- Line dry after washing. Hot washing and tumble drying can effect the dimensional stability and can cause fading of the colours.
Environmental
The clothes industry is a particularly dirty industry – we’re trying to do things in a better way!
None of our clothes contain polyester, nylon, or any other unsustainable man-made fibres, ensuring that micro plastics don’t end up in the sea. But that’s just the start. Below is a list of credentials that this product adheres to:
The “Organic Content Standard – Blended” (OCS) certifies that part of the material used in this fabric is organic. In this case 30% of the fabric is cotton and is certified as organic. But what about the 70% bamboo? Bamboo natually doesn’t require pesticides or other polluting chemicals – if you’ve ever grown it in your garden, you’ll know that it grows like a weed! It should be noted, however, that bamboo viscose does use a lot of chemicals to process it into fibres, which is why we only use bamboo fabric that has been certified by the OEKO-TEX 100 standard (see below). Click the OCS logo below to find out more about their certification process, or visit our blog to see why we think hemp is the wonder fabric we need.
Fair Wear Standard
The Fair Wear Foundation is a non-profit organisation with the mission to “see a world where the garment industry supports workers in realising their rights to safe, dignified, properly paid employment”. The manufacturer of this product is certified to the Fair Wear standard. Click on the Fair Wear logo below for more detailed information.
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
The Standard 100 certification ensures that every part of the garment has been tested for substances that may be harmful to human health. Garments are tested by independent institutes against an extensive criteria catalog, taking into account both regulated and non-regulated substances. Further details can be found by clicking on the OEKO-TEX logo below.
Fabric
This super soft t-shirt is made with 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton.
Bamboo is not only an incredibly soft fabric, its fibres are stronger than cotton. It is naturally anti-bacterial, resistent to odours and excellent at wicking moisture away from the body. The insulative properties of the fibre also mean that it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Fabric weight: 150 grams per square meter
