For Ingram the choice of raw materials is the essential requirement capable of developing each garment. For this reason, the cotton, linen and silk offered in our garments are the result of careful selection.
Cotton is a natural fabric, suitable for wearing in contact with the skin. Soft and light, it allows the skin to breathe, has good absorption capacity, and is able to withstand numerous washes. It dyes very easily and keeps the colors well.
In the case of mono twisted cotton, the cotton thread is twisted on itself to make it more resistant. In double twisted cotton, the thread is split in two parts and twisted together. Double twisted cotton is more resistant, less transparent, shiny, easy to iron, and less prone to creases.
Ingram's GOTS organic cotton is produced in accordance with strict and controlled social and environmental criteria. The fibers are organically grown without the addition of pesticides with reduced consumption of water and energy.
