Organic Cotton Construction & Ethical Manufacturing

Organic Cotton Construction & Ethical Manufacturing

Every pair of PTCL ethical clothing jeans starts with certified organic cotton grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. We partner exclusively with mills that maintain Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, ensuring the entire supply chain meets strict environmental and social criteria.

Our manufacturing partners operate fair-trade certified facilities where workers receive living wages and safe working conditions. The indigo dyeing process uses 60% less water than conventional methods, and all wastewater undergoes treatment before release. This commitment to ethical production extends to our packaging, which uses recycled materials and minimal plastic components.


Sizing & Fit Guide

Sizing & Fit Guide

These high-rise jeans feature a classic straight-leg silhouette that flatters most body types. The 10.5-inch front rise sits comfortably at the natural waist, while the straight cut through the hip and thigh creates a timeless profile.

Size Selection

We recommend ordering your usual denim size, as these jeans run true to size with minimal stretch. The organic cotton fabric will soften slightly with wear while maintaining its shape. For reference, our model wears size 27 and is 5’7″ tall with a 27-inch waist and 38-inch hips.


Care Instructions & Longevity

Care Instructions & Longevity

Proper care extends the life of your ethical jeans while preserving their sustainable qualities. Machine wash in cold water with like colors, using a gentle detergent free from optical brighteners or fabric softeners that can break down organic fibers.

Air drying prevents shrinkage and reduces energy consumption, though tumble drying on low heat is acceptable when needed. Turn jeans inside out before washing to protect the surface and maintain the indigo color. With proper care, these jeans will develop a beautiful natural fade pattern while lasting for years of regular wear.
