"Clothing is one of the most intimate things we buy. It should be clean for the planet and clean for the people who wear it." - Brendan Howard, Founder
The impact of shifting to organic cotton for basics like underwear cannot be overstated. Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-intensive crops in the world. By choosing Pact, you are supporting farming practices that keep pesticides out of the soil and water systems. These boxers are designed to last, with reinforced stitching and high-quality elastic that resists sagging over time.
