ABOUT STRONG BOY


INTRO

Strong Boy Clothing are based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

We set out to make simple, stylish and hard-wearing outdoor clothing, all to be designed and made here in the UK, using only responsibly sources materials from UK based suppliers. We only use the highest quality fabrics and trims, and all our organic products are GOTS registered unless stated otherwise. We only use plastic free buttons, and our care labels are always 100% cotton. 

People are becoming increasingly aware of their impact on our world and we feel strongly that one well made shirt is equal to several cheap fast-fashion products that can't stand the test of time. Investing in well-made clothing is a necessary future and we want to be a part of that. So remember, ‘the first step is to take one’.

 

OUR SHIRTS

All our organic products are 100% GOTS registered cotton unless stated otherwise. We use high quality denim and 100% cotton threads to put these shirts together, along with 100% cotton labels to ensure wearer comfort. 

Our buttons are made using a British manufacturer and are environmentally friendly, being 100% plastic free. Both the buttons and cotton use eco-friendly dyes, which are as long-lasting as chemical dyes but with a much lower impact on the environment.

 

 

MANUFACTURING

Strong Boy Clothing is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. All our products are made and designed here in the UK. Our Forrester overshirt is manufactured in a UK workshop with over 135 years history in clothes making.

The workshops we use are based in Cheltenham and Bristol, keeping our production as local as possible and allowing us to guarantee high quality products. We use highly skilled craftspeople, keeping traditional clothmaking here in the UK.

We have a certain amount of stock readily available, any items purchased beyond this will be made to order. This will occasionally mean orders will take longer than the standard 10 days from purchase, we will keep you informed on this every step of the way.

SIZING & PRODUCT CARE

At Strong Boy Clothing we take product care very seriously.

All of our organic fabric is pre-washed before making our overshirts to reduce any future shrinkage while washing. We do this because conventional cotton is generally treated with chemicals to reduce shrinkage, whereas organic cotton is not.

Our Forrester Organic ranges are created for you to connect with your environment, you can wash these garments in the machine if you wish, we recommend 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Alternatively, you can hand wash and make that connection with your clothing.
 
Our Forrester range is created for long life and to take on what ever the world throws at it, the garments can be washed on normal machine settings. Alternatively you can hand wash and make that connection with your clothing.

Low heat settings and less frequent washing benefits the environment, your wallet and your conscience. Follow the recommended steps to continue our shirts eco-friendly life cycle!

Organic cotton will last many years with proper care. No bleach or harsh washing powders required.
