The cloth
Grown, not melted.
Lapetto makes t-shirts and hoodies in 100% GOTS organic cotton, many of them reversible: two finished colours in one garment. We cut only these two shapes, in colours the mill can dye without plastic binders.
Fibre
Lapetto is named for the small folded placket that sits against the chest: the part of a winter tee you actually feel.
Our product data lists every tee and hoodie as 100% GOTS organic cotton. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) covers the farm, the gin, the yarn, the knit and the dyehouse, and independent inspectors trace the fibre through each step.
Weights
- Tees: 180–280gsm jersey. The Everyday Tee is 180gsm; construction and core tees are 220–240gsm; reversible tees are 260–280gsm.
- Hoodies: 400–500gsm loopback. The Classic Hoodie is 400gsm; most printed, graphic and zip hoodies are 480gsm; the reversible colour-pair hoodies are 460gsm.
Each product page shows the weight from our product data. Weight is a mill specification and can vary slightly between lots; we are re-checking every listed weight against the mill specification sheets.
Finishing loft
Garments are knitted, dyed and sewn in certified mills, then finished and packed in a small loft. UK orders leave by Royal Mail; US and Asia orders leave by DHL Express. We do not hold stock in a third-country warehouse.
