About this Item: All-cotton leggings do not fit as tightly as typical synthetic leggings. It's recommended to size down if you're between sizes. The fabric is made from organic Peruvian Pima Cotton. The all-cotton Interlock fabric is spandex-free and knit to achieve 'mechanical stretch' so the leggings will stretch and move with you. The yarns are certified by GOTS, and the dyes are certified to Oeko-tex standard. The fit is slim but not too tight, with a comfortable, flat-lying elastic waistband and stash pockets at the hips. The inseam length is 16.5 inches. The leggings are made in a Fair Trade factory in Lima, Peru.

Essential Building Blocks for Your Sustainable Wardrobe: Building a sustainable wardrobe starts with essential pieces you can wear just about anywhere. All-cotton leggings are hard to find, especially organic ones. Fair Indigo's leggings earn rave reviews from everyone who tries them on. The fit is slim but not too tight, and the super soft and substantial double-knit 100% organic Pima cotton fabric retains its shape and launders beautifully season after season.

It Starts with Organic Pima Cotton from Peru: If you love organic food, but hadn't given much thought to cotton, consider this: cotton occupies only 3% of the world's farmland, but it consumes a whopping 25% of all pesticides. Cotton pesticides are even stronger than many food crop pesticides and can cause grave damage to farmland and adjacent ecosystems. Peru is widely regarded as the best place on earth to grow cotton, and one of the very few places perfect for growing Pima cotton. Pima is an ELS (extra long staple) cotton, significantly softer, stronger, and longer-lasting than other cottons. Garments crafted with this super-premium fiber beautifully resist pilling, shrinking, and disintegrating in your laundry.

True Colors: Fair Indigo uses non-toxic, Oeko-tex safe dyes that are the gentlest commercially available and free from harmful substances like azo colorants, formaldehyde, and pentachlorophenol. This is a sustainable upgrade from the harsh dyes used by most in the clothing industry. Better for the earth, for garment workers, and for you!

Fairly Made in Peru: There is no better place on earth to make clothing than Peru. The quality of Peru's most famous fibers, Pima cotton and alpaca, is legendary. The people of Peru are some of the happiest, friendliest, and most generous you'll ever meet, and their apparel-making skills are unmatched – handed down through generations, literally from the time of the Incas. There are thousands of workers here able, willing, and happy to make your clothes, they just need the chance to do so.

More Goodness in the Details: Our skilled artisans are highly trained, well paid, and pay attention to the little things that make a garment better for the long haul. Our fabrics are pre-washed, pre-shrunk, and will endure beautifully for years of enthusiastic use. Unless otherwise noted, our tops and tees are gently shaped, not too loose or too tight, accentuating your shape without being clingy.

Our Bags Are Fully Degradable. Like a Leaf. While the bag remains as strong as ever during normal use, it breaks down completely in the natural environment, leaving no plastic remnants behind. The bags are 91% degradable within 24 months, breaking down into water, CO2, and a small amount of biomass.
