MATERIAL
77% certified organic cotton and 23% hemp.
SUSTAINABLE
We make our trousers from hemp and organic cotton that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified as free from harmful chemicals. Organic cotton is more sustainable that regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilisers. Farmers maintain healthy soil through crop rotation, preventing the loss of nutrients into water bodies and so avoiding water pollution and the need for artificial fertilisers. Organic cotton farming also uses significantly less water than ordinary cotton, whereby farmers rely mainly on rainwater. Find out more about organic farming at the Textile Exchange!
Hemp is also a sustainable fabric as it has a high yield (twice as much fibre as flax that is used to make linen) and it has a short growing period such that it can be planted 4 times in a year. Moreover, it returns up to 70% of the nutrients used back into the soil. As if this wasn’t enough, it also requires little water, reduces pests and doesn’t need fertilisers or pesticides. To top it off, hemp is the most carbon negative crop, absorbing more carbon than it produces!
The labels we use are made from recycled fabric that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified. We also package the product in recycled paper and ship using reusable and compostable mailbags.

These trousers are SO chic – they’re so structured and look amazing on. I love that I can dress them up or down, and they look great with the June top. I am short and wondered if the fabric would drown me but it doesn’t at all, and I love the material and quality of the garment. Also, their customer service is LOVELY – I emailed with a couple of questions regarding returns and size bands, and Suzie was super helpful and really friendly. Will 100% be buying from Ford & Guy again.
