Care
Tiralahilacha recommends checking the composition and care labels of the item, especially for Wool or Tencel garments. In general wash in cold water, at a maximum of 30°C. Use neutral, eco-friendly detergent for machine washing (use the special wool wash program) or hand wash. This way, you will prevent color loss and water pollution. Iron at medium temperature. It is recommended to iron inside out and in the shade to preserve colors for longer. In the case of wool garments, it is recommended to iron them inside out with a towel on top to protect the garment. Dry flat, never hanging, to prevent stretching and deformation.

People
Tiralahilacha’s trousers are made in Spain by a family run factory that has been making trousers for over 50 years. Argo Jeans are committed to being a good employer and like to say their garments are made ‘by and for people’.
The Better Cotton Initiative includes some provisions to improve farmer wellbeing compared to conventional cotton. But it doesn’t go as far as organic cotton.
Planet
The linen content of these trousers is made with flax grown in the EU. This provides traceability and good industrial practices throughout the flax supply chain.
Flax (from which linen fibres are derived) is resilient and can grow in poor soil, using far less water in its cultivation than cotton. According to the European Confederation of Linen and Hemp, “Across its lifecycle, a linen shirt uses 6.4 litres of water” compared to 2,700 litres for a cotton shirt. (Good On You) Flax production also replenishes the soil with vital nutrients that are depleted by cotton.
Better Cotton Initiative certified cotton is an improvement over conventional cotton but still permits synthetic inputs that can harm ecosystems.
Tiralahilacha prioritises suppliers' use of renewable energy when selecting suppliers. Their trousers supplier Argo Jeans are committed to reducing their carbon footprint. 100% of their electricity is sourced from renewable sources like solar panels.
Tiralahilacha’s labels and the boxes used to deliver their orders are made of FSC certified recycled cardboard and paper.
Areas for development
Finding a linen blend fabric that used organic cotton as opposed to BCI cotton would support further improvements to farmer wellbeing.
