What It Is / How It Works

The company says its 100% cotton cloth “is produced in Minnesota” and that its quality is well above mass-produced fabric. The dye chemistry, whether reactive dyes are used, and where the undyed cotton is woven are not disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Claim Verification

Claim: Made entirely in the U.S.A. and higher quality than mass-produced fabric

Status: Unverified

Refuting / questioning sources:

  • None found; the greige cloth source is undisclosed, so “made in the USA” may describe dyeing and finishing rather than fiber or weaving.

Summary: Hand-dyeing location is documented; upstream origin and quality comparisons are not.
