Care
Tiralahilacha recommends checking the composition and care labels of the item, especially for Wool or Tencel garments. In general wash in cold water, at a maximum of 30°C. Use neutral, eco-friendly detergent for machine washing (use the special wool wash program) or hand wash. This way, you will prevent color loss and water pollution. Iron at medium temperature. It is recommended to iron inside out and in the shade to preserve colors for longer. In the case of wool garments, it is recommended to iron them inside out with a towel on top to protect the garment. Dry flat, never hanging, to prevent stretching and deformation.

People
Tiralahilacha’s shirts are crafted in a specialist shirt factory in central Spain, where around 40 seamstresses and 30 other skilled workers contribute to the production process, from cutting fabrics to carrying out quality control. Sergio, who leads production at the factory, is known for his incredible positivity and continuous dedication to creating well-finished garments, qualities that have earned the team’s lasting trust.
The organic cotton fabric used is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which requires strict social criteria to be met at every stage of the supply chain. This helps Tiralahilacha ensure that fair working conditions are upheld, not just by their direct suppliers, but throughout the production process.
Planet
The linen content of these trousers is made with flax grown in the EU. This provides traceability and good industrial practices throughout the flax supply chain.
Flax (from which linen fibres are derived) is resilient and can grow in poor soil, using far less water in its cultivation than cotton. According to the European Confederation of Linen and Hemp, “Across its lifecycle, a linen shirt uses 6.4 litres of water” compared to 2,700 litres for a cotton shirt. (Good On You) Flax production also replenishes the soil with vital nutrients that are depleted by cotton.
Organic cotton helps farmers avoid the health risks and financial pressures associated with the toxic chemicals used in conventional cotton farming. It also supports surrounding communities by preserving (rather than depleting) local water supplies and keeping them clean.
Tiralahilacha also takes care with the materials used beyond the garments themselves: their labels and delivery boxes are made from FSC-certified recycled cardboard and paper.

Areas for development
Tiralahilacha prioritises working with suppliers who use renewable energy. But, they don’t currently disclose the percentage of renewable energy used in their shirt production factory. Sharing this information would improve transparency and demonstrate their commitment to reducing emissions in their supply chain.
