Reg. Price: $10.49 What possible difference will it make if you buy an organic cotton hat instead of a non-organic cotton hat?
After all, cotton is a natural fabric right?
The simple answer to the first question is "a lot".
The answer to the second is, "not anymore".
If there is one action you can take to be more environmentally friendly, changing your shopping choices to include organic cotton can have a tremendous positive impact on both the Planet, and quite possibly your health.
As soft and comfy as cotton is, the cultivation of non-organic cotton is a toxic nightmare. Over one quarter of all the pesticides used in modern agriculture are applied to the modern cotton plant.
This stuff contains some of the nastiest compounds known to man, including cyanide. Of the nine major pesticides used on cotton five are proven cancer-causing chemicals and all nine are classified by the EPA as type 1 and 2 - the most dangerous listing possible.
After so many years of growing in these toxins the modern cotton plant has been genetically engineered to the point where it is no longer a natural fiber, but rather a plant that is designed to stand up to the strains of the pesticides sprayed on it.
In addition to the obvious harm done to the environment by the cultivation of non-organic cotton, numerous questions remain unanswered about how this chemical laced fabric affects the human body.
We do not pretend to be experts on the science of this potential problem, however, common sense suggests that there might be something unhealthy about having your skin constantly touching non-organic cotton.
Enough said.
Our 100% organic cotton corps hats are soft, comfortable, and have a military look to them.
They have two brass vent holes on each side to keep you cool.
Like our baseball hats, the corps has a high quality adjustable brass slider buckle that allows you to fit them to any size.
A handy pocket is built in so you can hide any excess strap once you get the size right.
No cheap plastic plug and hole straps here.
One size fits all.
Available in Black, Natural, Blue, or Green.

Why Use Bamboo?
Bamboo fiber is the new innovation in textile fibers with remarkable characteristics:
Soft & Silky
Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere.
Anti-Bacterial & Odor Free
Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment, bamboo fiber clothing is naturally odor-resistant and requires no harmful chemicals. It contains a natural agent, "bamboo kun", that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it.
Breathable & Cool
Bamboo apparel is comfortable, thermal regulating and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer and odor free.
Fast-drying
Like the synthetics, bamboo fabric dries quickly. Unlike the synthetics, bamboo does no harm.
Safe & Hypoallergenic
For those with sensitive skin or chemical allergies bamboo is the perfect fabric since it is not treated with any toxic compounds.
Natural & Eco-Friendly
Bamboo is one of the world's most prolific and fastest-growing plants. Typically bamboo is able to reach maturity in about four years, compared to the typical 25 to 70 years for commercial tree species in the U.S. Though most people are generally familiar with this beautiful and graceful plant, the average person is usually astounded when learning that there are more than 1000 documented uses of bamboo.
Bamboo is one of nature's most sustainable resource, it is grown without pesticides or chemicals, it is 100% biodegradable, and naturally regenerative. Bamboo is actually a tropical grass, with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to heights of 60 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and can be harvested every 3 to 4 years.
In Asia, bamboo has been used in the traditional hand-made production of paper for centuries. Now, through modern manufacturing processes, bamboo pulp is capable of producing bamboo fiber for use in yarn and fabric. Certain species of bamboo have the tensile strength equivalent to that of steel.
Bamboo is planted and grown on family-owned farms that have been in agricultural use for generations. None of the fiber comes from tropical forests. Over 2.5 billion people work with or depend on bamboo as a natural resource.
