What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
·Canvas — Heavy-duty woven fabric that resists tearing and abrasion. Waxed canvas adds water resistance and develops character with age.
·Recycled — Modern recycled materials match virgin materials in performance. Recycled polyester and nylon are indistinguishable from new in most applications.
·Made by TOMS in United States.

·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
·Canvas — Spot clean or machine wash on gentle. Re-wax waxed canvas annually to maintain water resistance.

Sustainability

·Recycled — Diverts waste from landfills and oceans. Recycled polyester from plastic bottles reduces petroleum dependency by up to 75%.

Cost Per Use

·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
·Canvas — Canvas bags and jackets can last decades — especially waxed canvas, which improves with age like leather.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Footwear). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 7 months — and falls to roughly 11¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
