About THTC

THTC is partly sustainable on materials: our scan of 71 styles found 60.0% plant fibre (25.4% synthetic). DOCUMENTED / INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED: THTC is a real, active UK company (Companies House 05276208); it holds GOTS certification (confirmed by Ethical Consumer, which found 95%+ GOTS-certified cotton and gave THTC maximum workers-category marks and full marks for organic materials); it publishes tier-one suppliers; it is Vegan Society registered; and Ethical Consumer ranks it a top UK ethical/menswe
THTC garments are manufactured in China, in small factories the company says it has worked with directly for around 20 to 25 years, where it states workers are paid above the national minimum wage in safe conditions. THTC is based/designed in London, UK. Independent verification (Ethical Consumer) confirms THTC publishes its tier-one suppliers and some deeper supply-chain detail, and awarded THTC maximum marks in its workers category; the “fair wage / safe conditions” wording itself originates from THTC and is a brand claim rather than an independently audited certification.
THTC is an independent, founder-owned British hemp and organic-cotton streetwear label founded in 1999 by brothers Dru (Drew) and Gav Lawson together with Dan Sodergren, with roots in the “Hempology” hemp-awareness group at the University of Hull. It has no parent company; it trades as the UK-registered private limited company THTC CLOTHING LIMITED (company no. 05276208), incorporated 2 November 2004, registered office 15a Princes Avenue, London W3 8LX. Note the two dates differ: 1999 is the brand’s founding year, 2004 is the incorporation of the limited company.
THTC is a real, currently-trading, legitimate business. UK Companies House lists THTC CLOTHING LIMITED (05276208) as Active with next accounts due 30 September 2026, and its storefronts (uk.thtc.com, eu.thtc.com, thtc.co.uk) return live HTTP 200/301 responses selling hemp/organic-cotton apparel. This is the clothing brand, distinct from any unrelated same-name entities.
THTC is a slow-fashion, small-batch ethical label, not fast fashion. Evidence: it is built around durable hemp/organic-cotton basics rather than rapid seasonal drops, maintains ~20-25 year relationships with the same small factories, upcycles past ranges, and historically operated at very small scale (reported turnover of roughly £100,000 with nine staff around 2011). Ethical Consumer ranks it among the UK’s most ethical menswear brands.
THTC is a mixed bag for non-toxicity: 60.0% of its range is plant fibre that breathes and biodegrades, with 25.4% plastic-based synthetics that can shed microplastics. Certifications: Independently verified: GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) — Ethical Consumer confirms THTC is among a small group of brands with 95%+ of cotton GOTS-certified; THTC states GOTS certification is via Control Union and Soil Association Certification. Vegan Society — THTC is registered/certified with The Vegan Society. Caveat on Fair Wear Foundation: THTC’s own membership is NOT documented; the Fair Wear connection comes from its fabric supplier Stanley & Stella (a Fair Wear member), so this should be attributed to the supplier, not THTC itself. No evidence found of OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, B Corp, or European Flax certification for THTC (European Flax would not apply, as THTC uses hemp not flax linen)..
THTC does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked. What we can confirm is the material itself: our scan of 71 THTC styles found 60.0% is 100% plant fibre, so THTC’s natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.
Hemp is a leading fibre in the THTC styles we scanned, alongside Cotton. Our scan of 71 THTC styles found 60.0% is 100% plant fibre, so THTC’s plant-fibre focus is borne out in the actual composition data.
How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand’s own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.
