Rainingpenguins.com - Product Information

We are committed to producing simple high quality products that are functional, comfortable, durable, and environmentally friendly.

Fabrics:
We currently use mostly 100% cotton for our t-shirts and other products. A few items are blends with a very low percentage of synthetic fibers and spandex.

Organic and Recycled:
We are in the process of introducing and developing more products in recycled cotton and organic cotton as well as hemp and bamboo blends. Our goal is to switch over entirely to fabrics made with recycled materials and organically grown fibers to reduce the environmental impact of growing the plants.

Dirt to Shirt:
Products labeled 'Dirt to Shirt' are made using shirts where the cotton is 'home grown' using organic techniques here in the US and is spun and manufactured in sweatshop free facilities in the United States. These shirts are much more expensive than equivalent non-organic cotton shirts and our prices reflect that.

Suppliers:
We use blanks from a variety of makers including Royal Apparel, Gildan, Anvil, Hanes, and Bella.

Inks:
Our current inks are phthalate free plastisol inks. We are in the process of introducing and developing more products with water based inks.

Washing Instructions:
Specific care instructions will be on the product labels. For our cotton and cotton blend clothing we recommend turning the shirt inside out and washing with cold water and a mild laundry soap that is non-toxic and biodegradable. Either tumble dry with low heat or hang out to dry.
