Gypsy and Loïc, a fashion design duo based near San Francisco, produces an appealing line of casual menswear made from equally-appealing materials. Their clothing is full of original details that set them apart without overwhelming their designs. The company also gets high marks for their sustainability efforts. About 50% of the line is organic cotton, hemp and bamboo. Their dyes are non synthetic and environmentally safe, and all of the clothes are manufactured in the US and/or fair trade factories.

I really like the disign and ethical production standards of this line of clothing. I have been toying with an idea for heavy duty pants specially designed for landscapers and gardeners. I am in the field myself and have been frustrated with the constant problem of my clothing not holding up to the job. I would love to produce the pants ethicaly and use natural material. I would appreciate any advice or information you can give me about getting started. Thankyou very much, Martha
