02 / The origin

Grown and made in Tamil Nadu

Our cotton comes from India, home of some of the world's finest organic cotton. It's grown, spun, knit and sewn in Tamil Nadu, in southern India.

This region has generations of cotton and textile know-how. We work close to the source so we know where the fiber comes from and who turns it into cloth.

Every piece in this collection is 100% Indian organic cotton.

03 / Four dips

How Iron 4 gets its color

a little darker, each time
  1. Bowls of iron scraps and sugar beside folded grey cotton garments

    The vat

    Iron scraps and palm sugar ferment in vinegar, a traditional Indian dye bath.

  2. Close-up of hands twisting a wet grey garment above a bucket of dark dye liquid

    The dip

    Each undyed piece is submerged in the fermented iron vinegar vat.

  3. A dyer lifts a wet, dark textile from a bucket and wrings it by hand, letting excess liquid drip back into the bucket. The video has no speech.

    Repeat 4 times

    Four dips deepen the shade. That’s where the name Iron 4 comes from.

  4. Three earthy grey T-shirts hanging outdoors against green foliage

    The result

    An earthy grey-green that’s soft and cozy, with natural variation from piece to piece.

No synthetic dyes. Every Iron 4 piece, from tees to sweats, gets its color from the same fermented iron vinegar vat.

Two ways to wear raw cotton: dipped in iron, or left as it grew.
