Description

Our long sleeve skivvy is made from a softly structured rib with a boxy cut and raw hems. The mock neck can be worn un-tucked and raw, pushed down and slouchy or "tucked in" for a boat neck look. Notably, our undyed skivvies use absolutely no chemicals, whiteners or dyes (even the threads are undyed and organic) making this piece preferable for those with skin sensitivites. Order down a size for a more fitted look.

This v popular piece comes in several colour/ cut renditions, be sure to search A.14 in the Product Code tab to see them all. Pictured here with the A.07 Dress and A.21 Shorts.

A.BCH A.14
Product Story

Make

Description

The A.14 was made entirely in-house at the A.BCH studio. We cut the fabric with minimal waste, sewed the garments and trimmed each piece for excess threads. All raw hems have been stabilised at the seams.

Supplier

Fabric

Description

An A.BCH exclusive, Australian knitted, 100% certified organic cotton 265gsm 1x1 rib. The fibre is grown, processed and spun in India, is Fair Trade, ACO and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified at every stage from processing to finishing to meet strict environmental, toxicity and social standards. The yarns are knitted into fabric and scoured locally by one of the last remaining knitting mills in Australia, located just outside of Melbourne.

Supplier

Thread

Description

100% GOTS certified 3ply cotton - also un-dyed, sourced from small organic farms just outside the village of Mohancot in the Jhabua district, India. Each of these small-holder farmers combine their crops for ginning and spinning, which is processed to strict environmental and social standards- as is required by GOTS certification. We source the finished threads from our wholesaler in the USA.

Supplier

Label

Description

100% recycled PET made in-house by a manufacturer with a passion for developing sustainable alternatives for brands. This is the only part of the garment that isn’t biodegradable. Things get better! In 2019 we developed an organic cotton alternative, a first of its kind on the market. From A.31 onwards, all garments will be 100% cellulosic (completely synthetic free!)

Supplier

Care Label

Description

100% organic cotton, printed with Oeko Tex 100 certified inks. The yarns are sourced in India from GOTS certified mills and are woven at our supplier-owned mill into tape. They are then whitened according to GOTS standards using oxygen based whiteners and digitally printed.

Packaging

Compost

Our default packaging for local orders, home-compostable satchels have the lowest environmental impact when composted locally. Please don't throw this into your general waste bin, instead, after re-use, compost at home or find other solutions here. You can contact us immediately after placing your order to request recyclable packing instead.

Recycled

For extra fragile goods, or international orders, we use 100% post-consumer waste recycled and RECYCLABLE satchels, boxes and tissue paper. After re-use, these can go into your curb-side paper recycling bin. 

Care

Laundering

Organic fibres need just a little more TLC than conventional ones. Machine wash on COLD with like-colours  use a delicates bag for best results and hang to dry. We'll also send a detailed digital care guide when you buy this garment.

Repairs

We stand by our garments + offer complimentary repairs for all A.BCH pieces. Our free repairs are for general wear and tear, all we ask is that you cover the cost of delivery or drop off to our Melbourne studio, and ensure your garments are laundered before sending. Re-making or alterations can also be requested + will be individually quoted based on the time required.

End of Life

Recycling

To recycle this garment, send it back to us for store credit. We'll even cover shipping! Depending on its condition, we'll repair & re-sell it (as second hand) OR transform it into brand new yarns through our recycling program (so circular, darling).

Compost

If returning is unlikely (you're busy with a climate rally or living off the grid), this skivvy is 99.5% compostable. After a long life of use, repair and re-use, simply remove the A.BCH tag before cutting the rest into strips, safe for anaerobic composting at home or commercially.
