Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

archi, i seem to remember that for something to be labelled "organic cotton" the dyes used have to be organic, as well.

Not always. Some brands, e.g. Nudie get it right. Others tend to follow this route:

**Pick Your Cotton Carefully **
Although cotton is considered a natural fiber, conventional varieties are anything but natural. Ten percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25 percent of insecticides in the U.S. are used to grow cotton. Seven of the 15 pesticides used on cotton are considered to be “possible,” “likely,” “probable,” or “known” human carcinogens, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Luckily, organic cotton is becoming easier to find, and in nicer designs and a wider range of clothing for both children and adults. However, that very popularity means that some bogus product will make it to market. *And although the cotton may be organic, the garment made from it may be full of processing chemicals and metal-laden dyes. *
