DOING THERIGHT THING
Ethically or environmentally, we’re committed to doing the what’s right. The Fruit Code is our code of conduct that guarantees that we, and all our
suppliers, do everything to the highest possible standards.
Take our employees. We pay well above minimum wage, provide them with health care, a range of benefi ts and protect their human rights.
We’re also regularly audited and fully WRAP certifi ed, complying with the 12 WRAP principles. These relate to workplace regulations
including child labour, hours of work, discrimination, security and health and safety processes.
Fire safety has never been more important and we have always been fully committed to ensuring the safety of our employees. We have regular fi re drills and at our plant in Morocco we even have our own fi re engine and
fi re fi ghting team operating 24-hours a day.
What’s more we never use Uzbekistan cotton. Instead, all our garments are made from ethically produced yarn, with the majority of
our raw cotton from the USA.
And the environment? Our plant in Morocco is specifi cally designed to be energy effi cient whilst maintaining a comfortable working environment for
our employees. We also keep wastage to a minimum by re-using cotton reclaimed fi bres and recycling waste fabric. We even recycle 60% of our
water. Plus, each garment is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved, which certifi es that none of our textiles contain substances that are
harmful to people or the environment.
Trust Fruit to always do things right.

WEIGHT
IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT
It’s not all about GSM = Grams per Square Meter. GSM measures the weight of the fabric, which will give you some
indication of the thickness of the shirt.
However, any T-shirt is only as good as its yarn, regardless of its weight. That’s why we only use the best - Belcoro®
As industry pioneers, it may not surprise you that thanks to a unique manufacturing process, we’re the only imprint brand that uses Belcoro® yarn – setting a new standard in softness and quality.
The Belcoro® Quality Standards set tight tolerances for yarn imperfections. The result is a remarkably uniform yarn that produces fabrics with a
smooth, uniform surface that’s perfect for print. Viewing the Belcoro® yarns under an electron microscope reveals that they
are considerably thicker, than conventional open-end yarn.
By using a fi ner yarn count we are able to produce a fabric that boasts 40% more stitches. The end result is a close-knit fabric with a remarkably
smooth, uniform surface that could justifi ably be described, as a print ‘canvas’.
It’s just another example of how our T-shirts stand out from the crowd. This means higher quality printing, improved durability, better washing
performance and less pilling across all our T-shirt weights.
