I have skin allergies and (per recommendation of my dermatologist) I looked for organic cotton pants and bought these Pono Pants (brown). I loved that this is a company that produces in small batches.
Pros: I love the cut and comfort of these pants.
Cons: I am seriously concerned about the fabric dyes used. I have washed these pants separately 7 times and they still release dye. The first time that I soaked the pants in cold water, the water instantly became dark brown (in cold water?!!).
It does not seem skin safe. And it is not really sustainable (how much water does one have to use?). I used them once (after washing 7 times) and they stained my underwear. I am not sure I will use them.
I encourage this company to increase the quality of their dyes and monitor their operations associated with dyes.
