Since 2014, Ecōths’ sustainable clothing for men, has donated over 250,000 meals with their Feed 3 initiative. To continue their practice of balancing business and goodness, Ecōths will be producing over 40% of their organic cotton styles in Fair Trade Certified factories starting Spring 2018.

“Sourcing Fair Trade Certified factories is something we are extremely proud to be moving towards with both Ecōths and our sister brand Aventura Clothing,” states Tom Williamson, VP of Sales and Marketing for both brands. “For Ecōths it’s like the trifecta of feel-good clothing; organic cotton, Fair Trade certified and helping feed others with a purchase, it’s something our socially conscious customers should get really excited about.”

New Fair Trade Certified styles will include organic cotton tees, polos and button-ups such as Axton Tee, Drake Hoodie, Galen SS and more. The organic cotton Axton Tee ($42) offers style and detail for men that
are looking for an everyday tee with a bit of personality. With a slight v-neck silhouette, this tee boasts an all over mini strip
fabric with a solid contract pocket and contrast flatlock seam
stitching. Ecoths’ Drake Hoodie ($65) combines the same mini
strip fabric as the Axton, but with solid raglan hood and sleeves
and is a great lightweight hoodie for staying warm on cool spring
nights. The Galen SS ($72) is the answer to the anti-plaid shirt
with its dobby effect print and denim tipping on the collar and inside placket. Distinctive details include a contrast seam down the back, slight back yoke and Ecōths’ signature Handy Cloth design which features a built-in microfiber cloth for cleaning sunglasses or phones under the bottom of the front placket.

Other noteworthy styles in the spring collection include the organic cotton and Coolmax® blended button- down Braydon SS ($70), designed for men who are looking for the comfort of cotton with the performance of Coolmax for their active endeavors. This button-down has subtle back vents for increased breathability and Ecōths’ signature Handy Cloth design. Another favorite for summer is the organic cotton Kingsley SS, a classic style with stripe appeal. With a play on color blocking and striping, it brings a fresh look to an old favorite and includes a button-down collar and single pocket on the front. As with all Ecōths’ button-down shirts, it includes the signature Handy Cloth design. Ecōths is also introducing three new organic cotton short styles; the Chambers Short, Sumner Short and Gannon Short. The organic cotton Chambers Short ($69) has
a denim optic and wide waistband with contrast stitching detail on the waistband and seams. Both the Sumner Short ($69) and Gannon Short ($72), with streamlined cargo pockets, utilize a stretchy slub twill for comfort and a nice texture.
