The key sustainability feature of Del Forte Denim is the use of organic cotton combining this with stylish high quality garments means you can look good and feel good in your jeans. The US based brand has been going strong for four years and were recently featured on Cameron Diaz on the cover of US vogue so we think their star is just beginning to soar.

Garments designed in: USA

Raw materials and their origins: Certified organic cotton from Texas, USA

Fabrics manufactured in: North Carolina, USA

Dye toxicity and waste management: “one benefit of using us based production is that in this country we have stringent legal regulations that control factory run-off. All waste-water is captured, filtered and recycled.”

Garments manufactured in: Texas, USA

Pay and working conditions: fair pay and working conditions are met.

“having all materials grown and produced in the USA makes it much easier to deliver on our environmental and social promise. We have been able to visit the organic farms that grow the cotton in Del Forte Denim products and we work with a family owned factory that has been in business since the 1940s.“

Summary of miles travelled: fiber to fabric to garment all occurs within USA so the longest journey is to Australia.

Future plans for ethical scope of brand: Del Forte hope to make a lower priced run of jeans but will only go ahead once they are sure that their environmental and social standards will not be compromised.
