Features
3 of 5
Feature 1
Every Kent garment is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, a plant fibre the brand states is completely plastic-free and synthetic-free, so Kent never uses spandex, polyester, nylon, elastane, acrylic or acetate, and its bio-based elastics come from renewable tree resources.
Feature 2
Kent states it sources its organic cotton from a farm it describes as GOTS and Fairtrade certified where workers are paid above living wages, and each cotton garment is sewn in a Fairtrade and GOTS certified, family-owned apparel factory in India that pays employees 25% above the living wage. The tagless labels on Kent pieces are made in Canada, and the brand ships its organic cotton products in packaging it describes as plant-based, acid free and compostable.
Feature 3
Kent designs its organic cotton briefs to be 100% plant-based and plantable, and describes them as the world's first verified compostable underwear, tested at LA Compost's composting centre where they disappeared in only 90 days. Customers can return worn Kent briefs through the brand's Compost Club take-back programme using a carbon-neutral shipping label so the organic cotton pieces can be composted.

Supply-chain summary
Kent builds its plant based, home compostable underwear on GOTS certified organic Supima cotton and a family owned factory certified to Fairtrade, GOTS, OCS, BCI, GRS and Oeko-Tex, describing a field to garment certified chain. Kent discloses farm and factory certifications and locations but does not name the specific farm or factory. Published sources conflict on details, with the brand's own page citing USA Supima cotton and an Indian factory while some third party articles cite Peruvian pima cotton and a California factory, and living wage claims are not third party verified at all tiers.

Is KENT certified?
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
Kent is not OEKO-TEX certified as a company, but its fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.
Other Certifications
Kent is not a certified B Corporation.
Cotton: type / certification
Organic Supima (long staple) cotton, GOTS certified
Factory certifications
Kent states its factory holds GOTS, Fairtrade, OCS, BCI, GRS and Oeko-Tex certification. Kent also attributes WFTO and B Corp certification to the unnamed cotton farm, which cannot be independently verified.
Certification notes / red flags
Both GOTS and Fairtrade rest on Kent's own word. Kent discloses no named farm or factory and no licence or certificate number, so neither headline cotton claim is registry-confirmable, and the B Corp badge belongs to the unnamed farm, not to Kent.
Key facts certifications
KENT's products and manufacturing facility are GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) for the organic cotton. KENT also cites OEKO-TEX-certified soy-based inks and a USDA BioPreferred label, and references 1% for the Planet.

H3 Q1: Is [Brand] sustainable / ethical?
Is KENT sustainable and ethical?
Answer 1
Kent is strongly sustainable on materials: our scan of all 41 styles found 100% plant fibre (0% synthetic, 0% animal). DOCUMENTED FACTS: KENT is a plant-based/vegan basics brand using GOTS-certified organic cotton and excluding synthetics (spandex, polyester, nylon, elastane, acrylic) including in trims and elastics, substituting bio-based/tree-derived elastics. Its briefs were officially compost-tested with LA Compost (broke down in ~90 days), which supports the "first verified/officially compost-tested compostab
H3 Q2: Where is [Brand] made?
Where is KENT made?
Answer 2
KENT garments are made from organic Pima (Supima) cotton grown in Peru, then cut and sewn in California at a local family-owned apparel factory (independent reviewers describe the underwear as "ethically made in California"). The Peruvian cotton supply partner sources from local farmers who own their land, reportedly supporting over 160 families across three Peruvian valleys. Tagless labels are stated to be made in Canada. Note: KENT's own two site pages are inconsistent on cotton origin (one says grown in Peru, one says grown in the USA); the predominant and repeated statement across the brand and third-party coverage is Peru-grown cotton, California-manufactured.
H3 Q3: Who owns [Brand]?
Who owns KENT?
Answer 3
KENT is an independent, founder-owned US company founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Stacy Grace (CEO) and Jeff Grace (CMO), headquartered in Los Angeles, California. It is not owned by a fashion conglomerate. On the ABC show "Shark Tank" (Season 14 live premiere, aired 23 September 2022), KENT accepted a $200,000 investment from Daymond John (founder of FUBU) for 15% equity, making Daymond a minority investor; the Graces retain majority ownership and operational control. Stacy Grace previously worked in sustainable fashion with TOMS, Wrangler and Timberland.
H3 Q4: Is [Brand] legit / worth it?
Is KENT legit and worth it?
Answer 4
KENT is a real, currently-trading, legitimate business. As of July 2026 its website (wearkent.com) is live and selling women's and men's organic cotton underwear, bras, tees and totes, with active promotions (e.g. "Plastic-Free July"), and its Instagram/Facebook are active. The company reported over $500,000 in 2022 sales, expanded its product range through 2023, and has been independently reviewed as recently as 2025. It is not defunct.
H3 Q5: Is [Brand] fast fashion?
Is KENT fast fashion?
Answer 5
KENT is a slow-fashion / small-batch sustainable brand, not fast fashion. It sells a tight, essentials-focused range (underwear, bras, basic tees, totes) rather than high-volume seasonal drops, uses single-fiber organic cotton for compostability, and is a small founder-led DTC operation. It is a mid-to-premium priced basics brand (briefs around $20+; multipacks higher), consistent with slow fashion rather than disposable fast fashion.
Answer 6
Certifications: The core fabric is GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic Pima cotton. Important distinction: the certifications KENT cites attach to its supply chain partners, not to KENT as a corporate entity. The Peru cotton partner is described as GOTS-, USDA-, EU-organic- and Fair Trade-certified (World Fair Trade Organization), and the brand states the Peruvian factory/farm partner holds B Corp certification. OEKO-TEX certification is cited only for the soy-based inks used on packaging/tagless labels. The brand also references OCS, BCI and GRS at the manufacturing-facility level. There is no verifiable evidence that KENT itself (the LA company) is a certified B Corporation. The B Corp claim points to its supplier. No European Flax certification (KENT uses cotton, not linen).
Answer 7
KENT 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 42 KENT styles found 100.0% is 100% plant fibre, so KENT's natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.
Methodology note (page footer)
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.
Answer 8
Our scan of all 41 Kent styles found 100% of the range is 100% plant fibre, with 0% animal fibre, 0% synthetic and 0% semi-synthetic. That composition is the measurable fact behind what KENT is made of, so check the specific KENT label for any individual piece.

How it was read
Throne identifies the eligible textile products in Kent's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Coverage method pre dash fix
Every product listed in the brand's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually - from the product page, the store's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage is published only when 100% of the catalogue has been read. Items with no clothing textile (gift cards, packaging, jewellery, homeware) are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
