## Common questions about organic cotton

### Does 100% cotton mean organic cotton?

No. “100% cotton” describes the fibre composition; it does not establish organic status.

### Can we order organic cotton fabric without garments?

Yes. Fabric-only orders can be quoted from the construction, finished GSM and metres required.

### What is organic cotton knit fabric?

It is knitted fabric made with organic cotton. Single jersey is a knit construction; specify the knit separately from the organic requirement.

### What should we specify for an organic cotton summer range?

Specify the construction and finished GSM for each style, with a fabric reference for the required hand. Include the finish in the brief.

### Can you source 520 or 540 GSM organic cotton hoodie fabric?

Yes, to your brief. State the target GSM, knit construction and back finish, with the organic standard required.

### What does organic cotton fabric cost?

We quote against the fabric specification and quantity. Include the composition and organic requirement so the quote covers the fabric you need.
