Kotn review

Kotn shows its supply chain step by step rather than in a spreadsheet. The brand buys cotton directly from 5,127 smallholder farmers in Egypt's Nile Delta and Faiyum regions, and its supply chain page follows the fiber to a yarn mill in Alexandria, a dyehouse in Obour and cut and sew facilities in Porto, Portugal. Dyes are OEKO-TEX certified, and fibers beyond Egyptian cotton come through GOTS, RWS and GRS certified organizations. Kotn is a Certified B Corporation and says it has the fourth-highest B Impact Score of apparel brands in North America; its school program has funded 25 schools in farming communities. The Men's Midweight Crew costs $52, which is more than Everlane or Quince charge for an organic tee, and the Egyptian cotton itself is not labeled organic on the pages we checked. Shipping over $100 is carbon offset at no charge.
