Fabric Guide
House staple choices like organic cotton, sustainable hemp, and vintage military surplus are joined by performance-focused materials, reflecting the collection’s balance of tradition and function, and serving as canvases for new seasonal artworks and embroideries.

Organic Light Cotton Poplin
200 gsm · 100% Cotton
Organic Light Cotton Poplin offers a crisp, breathable structure with a naturally smooth touch. Woven from certified organic cotton, it delivers a lightweight yet durable finish that allows for excellent airflow and shape retention.

Organic Cotton
450gsm Sweat · 100% Cotton
190gsm Jersey · 100% Cotton
Non organic cotton covers 2.5% of the world’s cultivated land but uses nearly of the world’s pesticides (including herbicides,insecticides, and defoliants), more than any other single major crop. Organic production in cotton farming is utilised to avoid this damaging practice and to promote and enhance biodiversity and biological cycles.
The perennial use of organic cotton aims to raise awareness and contribute to the reduced use of pesticides in the production of clothing materials. Every Maharishi collection utilises sweat and jersey grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
