Technology Overview

Organic Cotton

One hundred percent organic cotton is grown free of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. Since organic cotton is not chemically stripped of its natural wax, most weaves have a characteristic smoothness and weight, which makes the fabric particularly flattering in its drape and in the calm way it reflects and absorbs light.

Our line of organic tees is growing every season.

The inclusion of organic cotton reflects a holistic, eco-conscious approach The North Face® is taking to our entire business, evaluating sustainability of our products, materials, and practices. Organic cotton is just one small thread of that effort, but one that has enjoyed a hugely enthusiastic response.
