Do we use BC, Organic or Recycled yarns?

Brisbane Moss is an active member of Better Cotton, the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton, as well as this some of our fabrics are GOTS Organic certified. Although we produce the world’s finest Corduroy and Moleskin some Organic and Recycled yarns cannot meet the high standards of appearance some customers demand from existing products. Brisbane Moss reputation has been built on decades of repeatable performance and all our fabrics are still lovingly produced to last a lifetime.
