About
A straight-leg pointelle knit pant in half pima cotton, half TENCEL modal, in a deep wildberry. An open pointelle knit in two cellulose fibers, with no elastane in it at all.
Materials
50% pima cotton, 50% TENCEL modal. The brand says the fabric is verified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
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.
Modal made in a closed loop that recycles its chemicals and water, from checked beech wood. It scores better than unbranded modal because the process is accounted for rather than assumed.
It is still a viscose-family fiber, so making it uses carbon disulfide. That is a worker-safety story, not something that reaches your skin.
