1. Sourcing Responsibly
It all starts with fibers and fabrics, so we work hard to source materials that meet our expectations without harming animals or relying on harmful chemicals and cultivation practices. If we can’t find what we’re looking for, we develop it ourselves.

Organic Cotton
We’ve transitioned to 100% organic cotton for more than 99% of our cotton products, including our Essentials collection.

Heavy Bag
Our beefy Heavy Bag blend is built with up-cycled cotton and recycled polyester, and it requires zero water to manufacture.

Boss Duck
Boss Duck is our very own heavy-duty, hemp-based workwear material—easy on the environment, ultra comfortable, and tough as nails.

Leather
All of our leather goods are byproduct-sourced, and our partner tanneries have earned Gold certifications from The Leather Working Group.

Yak Wool
We’re huge fans of yak wool—it’s virtually indistinguishable from cashmere (some say it’s even softer) but significantly gentler on the planet.

Merino Wool
For our collection of temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking merino wool products, we exclusively source non-mulesed wool.

Waxed Organic Cotton
We innovate with more sustainable forms of wax, both in partnership with UK-based weather-proofing specialists Halley Stevensons and with our own proprietary TS wax blend.
Learn more100% Cruelty Free
We love our animal friends, so we always opt for better ethical practices when developing animal-based products—byproduct-sourced leathers, non-mulesed wools, recycled down insulation, and more.
2. Building Responsibly
We partner with some of the most highly regarded factories in the world to bring our designs to life. No matter where we’re building gear, our criteria never changes: fair wages and labor oversight, strict quality control, and a shared commitment to protecting the environment.
The Workshop
Our crowdfunding platform, The Workshop, saves customers money and eliminates waste from our supply chain by preventing overproduction—all for the good of the planet.

Our Factories
In addition to our partners around the world, we operate our own factory—Hubo—which employs eighty sewing machine operators, pays living wages, and offers healthcare and benefits including maternity leave. Take a tour of Hubo and the other factories that help us execute our vision:

Packaging
Conventional packaging is absurdly wasteful, so we use 100% post-consumer recycled fibers for our recyclable mailers. By the end of 2021, we’ll have transitioned to more than 80% recycled poly bags, tags, labels, etc.

Certifications
Many of our products and partners have been recognized and certified by industry leaders like the Leather Working Group, Fair Trade Apparel, Schoeller Textiles AG, and more.
3. Closing The Loop
Our products are way too cool to end up in a landfill. We want our gear to stand the test of time, to outlast everything else in your closet, and to wear in, not out.

Responsibly Built For the Long Haul
We’re committed to building products that outlast the competition (it’s right there in our motto), and that all starts with rugged construction and durable components.

Long Haul Guarantee
Bumps and bruises are a part of life. Should they befall your TS gear, no worries—we’ll repair or replace damaged/defective pieces for the life of the product. That’s a guarantee.

Built To Wear In, Not Out
We pride ourselves on classic, trend-proof designs that’ll look just as great in fifty years as they do today. In other words, TS is timeless.

Deadstock
Fabrics shouldn’t be left to rot in a warehouse, so we work with our factory partners to recover and reuse (or donate) deadstock fabrics.
2.4K products built with recycled deadstock materials.

Repair
A loose thread or worn-down sole is no reason to give up on your gear; we’re passionate about providing our customers with the tools they need to bring their favorite pieces back to life, including tutorials and free in-store repairs.
A Look at the Numbers
There’s still much to be done, but thanks to our material innovations and streamlined supply chain, we’ve taken a serious chunk out of the industry’s water usage.
8.4 Gallons of water saved from using 100% organic denim
7.9 Gallons of water saved from using recycled fabric in our heavy bag tee
3,3.6 Gallons of water saved From switching to 100% organic woven shirting
Our Footprint
We’re working hard each and every day to reduce our carbon footprint, and we’ve teamed up with Flexport and Shopify to offset emissions resulting from both shipments to customers and trans-Pacific freight from our factories.
We automatically offset carbon based on the distance between our warehouse and a customer’s doorstep—currently, this program benefits the Jari Pará area of the Amazon rainforest.
The journey from fiber to finished piece is a long one. We work with Flexport to track and offset carbon emissions resulting from global materials shipping during manufacturing.
8,679 Kilograms of customer shipment carbon offsets
373,.73 Tons of factory shipment carbon offsets
4. Creating A Community
We couldn’t have gotten to where we are today without the support of our friends, families, and fans. They inspire us, yes, but they also hold us accountable, and we’re incredibly proud to be a part of a community that cares about the health of our planet.
We Hear You
Customer feedback is one of the key ways we reduce supply chain waste, and there are many avenues (including our subreddit, fabric votes, and surveys) for fans to make their voices heard.
#StandSmall
COVID took a heavy toll on small businesses, so our #StandSmall campaign was all about showcasing the mom ’n’ pop spots that make our communities unique.
Family & Friends
Periodically, we highlight people who share our commitment to Responsibility on our on-site blog, The Journal—if you’re out there saving some corner of the world, we want to hear about it.

Starting From The Soil
We talk to Kate Kavanaugh about her whirlwind journey from nutritionist to chef to ethical butcher, and finally, to regenerative rancher.

5. Giving Back
We know how lucky we are to have made it this far, and it’s an honor to lend our support to causes and campaigns that make a difference in people’s lives. Giveaways, partnerships, donations—we’re always on the lookout for opportunities to help, so if there’s a cause we should know about, reach out.
Despite our best efforts to completely eliminate waste, we do occasionally end up with excess fabric—we donate our leftovers to educational and community organizations.
