Cotton Compliments

I am now running an online store selling The World's Most Comfortable Pants on www.cottoncompliments.com


The pants and shorts are all handmade in Thailand by people getting fair wages. 5% of all profits are going to a charity operating in Thailand called Khom Loy Development Foundation.

Here's the information from our About Us page:

Who are we?
We at Cotton Compliments strive to be your online source of the World's Most Comfortable Pants. We know you want comfort, and you don't want to wait for it to come all the way from Thailand. We're here to help you get high quality, handcrafted pants, and get them to you fast!

The World’s Most Comfortable Pants are handmade in Northern Thailand by artisans working near or in their homes. Our suppliers followFair Trade principles and are based far from the sweatshops that plague Bangkok. To demonstrate our concern for the well-being of these workers and those around them, we donate 5% of all profits to Khom Loy Development Foundation which works with poverty-stricken minorities and children in Northern Thailand. By buying the World’s Most Comfortable Pants, you are supporting villagers in rural Thailand by spreading their crafts around the world, while also contributing to the improvement of their home region and betterment of their lives and children's futures. Plus, you get to wear the most comfortable pants you will ever wear. Ever.


So what’s up with the name Cotton Compliments?
Well, we’re hoping you’ll get some compliments for wearing them. We want our name to reflect our philosophy here; we want to spread a charitable and positive attitude, and we want you to do the same. Whenever you’re enjoying The World’s Most Comfortable Pants, remember where you got them and brighten someone’s day with a thoughtful compliment. There’s a bit of wordplay involved as well, since we hope our product will complement your lifestyle.

Most importantly, though, we at Cotton Compliments realized the best way we could show our appreciation to our artisans and compliment their hard work is to donate money back into their society to brighten their future and the future of their children. We are partnering with Khom Loy Development Foundation (check out the links in the menu on the left) to do just that.

All of these things come together to bring you Cotton Compliments.
