Orvis clothes are cut generously to accommodate an active country lifestyle. We build plenty of “wearing ease” in all our garments to ensure you will enjoy them for many years. We field-test all of them on associates, and we take into consideration how the clothing will be worn. For example, when we fit outerwear, we always size it with the appropriate layers beneath. That means you do not need to order a size up for a comfortable fit. Not sure what size to order? Just chat, e-mail, or call 888- 235-9763 our Customer Service experts. They will be happy to give you the actual garment measurements for any item we sell.

The high environmental cost of conventional cotton farming In the production of conventional cotton, high levels of agrochemicals and fertilizers are used to the detriment of the environment. In fact, cotton production uses more chemicals per acre than any other crop and accounts for up to 16% of the world's pesticides. The toxic chemicals used in processing of cotton also pollute the air and surface waters. Plus, residual chemicals in the resulting fabrics can irritate consumers’ skin. Used for a variety of food and fiber products, cotton is one of the most widely traded commodities on earth. While the largest production of cotton is in Turkey and the United States, it is grown in 12 countries worldwide. The simple act of growing and harvesting the one pound of cotton fiber needed to make a single T-shirt takes an enormous toll on the earth’s air, water, and soil, and can significantly impact the health of the people in the regions near the fields where the cotton is grown. Organic cotton farming replenishes the earth Organic cotton farming systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Organic agriculture relies on crop rotation instead of agrochemicals and artificial fertilizers, and biological pest control instead of pesticides. Help your skin and the environment at the same time Organic cotton fabric has a softer feel and is less irritating to those with skin sensitivities than conventional cotton fabrics. Organic cotton not only feels good on your skin, it feels great on your conscience. |
