Label notes

• We read all 57 men’s styles on the store on Oct 31, 2026, one product page per style: about 32 organic cotton, 13 linen, 2 linen and organic cotton, 6 merino and 1 Bananatex swim trunk. No page names a synthetic fiber.
• Most pages give no percentage. Of the 54 pages with material text, 20 state one (19 say “100%”, one says 50% linen, 50% organic cotton); 33 only name the fiber, such as “made with sustainably-grown French linen”; the swim trunk names Bananatex. Threads, waistbands and drawcords aren’t described, so we score 95, not 100.
• Three sample-sale pages (One of One, Cham Pants, Sample Bo Shorts) have no material text, so they are left out of this read.
• The Rama Swim Trunks use Bananatex, a fabric made from abacá (a banana plant). Its maker says the fiber is pulped into sheets and spun as paper yarn, and the fabric is sold untreated, with a water-repellent (DWR) finish, or with DWR plus a wax coating. Alex Crane’s page doesn’t say which finish this one has. We count abacá as natural but processed.
• “100% natural materials,” “organic” and the factory claims on product pages (ISO 9001 and a social standard written as “SA 800”) are the brand’s own statements; we saw no certificates on the pages.
