A Danish textile family
Behind KnowledgeCotton Apparel, there's a family story that started in textile in Herning, Denmark, along with a long-standing focus on responsible materials. The brand now works with natural fibres, mostly certified organic.
It collaborates with a cooperative of small cotton producers in India.
The GOTS certification
The GOTS standard, which stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, certifies both the organic fibre and the processing conditions, from spinning to manufacturing. Several pieces from the brand, like the Chuck corduroy trousers, carry this certification.
The trousers
The Chuck chino, made from cotton twill, comes in a regular fit and in a five-pocket corduroy version. The Flint Wide has a wider leg, in line with the current trend of relaxed trousers.
The shirts and t-shirts
Casual linen shirts are made for warm days. Organic cotton t-shirts with round necks form the foundation of the wardrobe.
The jackets and knitwear
The Apex parka, made from Canvas fabric, and the coat keep you warm in winter with a simple look. The knitted jumper rounds off the mid-season wardrobe.
The seersucker swim shorts
Seersucker is a crinkled cotton with fine raised stripes that doesn't stick to the skin. The brand's swim shorts can be worn from the beach to the terrace.
Putting an outfit together

Choosing your size
The fits are fairly classic. The Chuck Regular is your usual size, while the Flint Wide offers a bit more room. Check the leg length.
Care instructions
Wash cotton at 30 or 40 degrees, inside out. Linen should be washed at low temperatures and ironed while damp. Wash corduroy inside out to preserve its ribs.
