About

A high-waist barrel-leg jean in a dark indigo wash, built from organic cotton and TENCEL lyocell with no stretch fiber in it. The whole fabric is cellulose, so it breathes rather than trapping heat against skin the way an elastane denim does.

Materials

42% organic cotton (OCS Blended, CU-1085700), 38% TENCEL Lyocell, 20% recycled cotton (RCS Blended). Non-stretch. Made in Saray Tekirdag, Turkey.

What the brand names mean

Trademarks on a label describe the fiber, not your exposure. Here is what each one is and what it does not cover. None of it moves the score.

TENCEL™ Lyocellscored as lyocell

The spelled-out TENCEL name guarantees the closed-loop process: the solvent is non-toxic and over 99 percent of it is captured and reused instead of discharged. It is the cleanest regenerated fiber we score.

It covers the fiber, not the finished piece. Dyes and wrinkle-proof coatings go on after spinning, and that is where formaldehyde shows up. Look for OEKO-TEX on the garment too.

Backed by something

what it is made of

The Baarly High Waist Barrel Jean is 42% organic cotton, 38% lyocell, 20% recycled cotton. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Lyocell is a clean fiber regenerated from wood in a closed loop that reuses its solvent. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 90 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Baarly High Waist Barrel Jean made of?

It is 42% organic cotton, blended with 38% lyocell and 20% recycled cotton.

Is organic cotton safe to wear?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.

How does Toxome score clothing?

Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
