Fabric Sustainability

Materials & Sourcing:

Made in Canada

Edward Joiner's Canadian milled fabrics are made using a cotton blend that is breathable and soft. 

All garments are dyed with non-toxic dyes in Canada. Once the cotton is sourced, the creation of the garment (sewing, dyeing, finishing, etc.) is done within a 12-mile radius, which reduces our already low carbon footprint. 

We understand cotton is a very water-intensive crop, which is why we are continuously looking into sourcing high-quality blends that are both functional and sustainable. We look for guidance from organizations such as the Better Cotton Initiative, which is a non-profit that focuses its efforts globally to show farmers the impact of the cotton they grow. Ideally, we believe that we can spark change for a world where 100% of the cotton produced is done so in a sustainable and clean way. When we all decide to take care of the planet and each other, the world becomes a better place for us all.
