About Pact

Pact clothing is owned by Revelry Brands, a Boulder, Colorado investment firm that acquired Pact Apparel in December 2011. Pact was originally founded in 2009 in Berkeley, California by Jeff Denby and Jason Kibbey, and after the Revelry acquisition Pact took on further minority investment from Sunrise Strategic Partners in 2017. Pact operates today as a privately held brand under the Revelry Brands portfolio, which has also included natural-lifestyle companies such as Siggi’s Dairy and EVOL Foods.
Pact clothing is made primarily in India, in Fair Trade Certified cut-and-sew factories, while the Pact company itself is based in Boulder, Colorado, in the United States. Pact sources its organic cotton largely from the Chetna Organic farming cooperative in India, then has garments assembled in the same region to keep the supply chain close to the fibre. So Pact is an American company by ownership and headquarters, but Pact garments are manufactured overseas rather than in the USA or Canada.
Yes, Pact clothing is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) for its organic cotton, and Pact also manufactures in Fair Trade Certified factories. GOTS certification means Pact’s cotton is independently audited from farm to finished garment, verifying it is grown without synthetic pesticides and that organic integrity is maintained through spinning, weaving, dyeing and sewing. It is worth noting that Pact is not OEKO-TEX certified, so buyers specifically seeking OEKO-TEX chemical-safety verification will not find it on Pact products, though the GOTS and Fair Trade certifications remain in place.
Independent lab testing of Pact clothing found no detectable PFAS: an EPA-certified lab commissioned by Mamavation tested Pact’s organic cotton leggings and returned a non-detect result for total fluorine, the marker chemists use to screen for PFAS. This is consistent with Pact’s material profile, because our scan of 217 Pact styles found organic cotton is the dominant fibre and 60.5% of Pact’s range is 100% plant fibre, which reduces reliance on the treated synthetic finishes most associated with PFAS. Pact does not, however, carry an OEKO-TEX or bluesign chemical-safety certification, so Pact’s non-toxic credentials rest on its GOTS organic cotton and that specific lab test rather than on a blanket toxin-free certification.
Pact clothing is not entirely 100% cotton: our scan of 217 Pact styles found that 60.5% of Pact’s range is 100% plant fibre (organic cotton), while 35.9% of Pact’s range is synthetic, typically organic cotton blended with a small share of elastane or polyester for stretch. So the flagship Pact basics such as tees, underwear and socks are frequently pure organic cotton, but Pact’s leggings, activewear and fitted styles usually contain added elastane. This blended reality is why Pact scores 3 out of 5 (Yellow) on our plant-fibre standard, strong on organic cotton but not fully plastic-free across the whole line.
Yes, Pact clothing is a legitimate, established brand: Pact has traded since 2009, is backed by Revelry Brands, and holds genuine third-party GOTS organic and Fair Trade Certified factory credentials rather than self-declared claims. On quality, Pact is generally well regarded for soft, durable organic cotton basics, and our own scan supports the substance behind that reputation, with organic cotton as the dominant material and 60.5% of Pact’s range being 100% plant fibre. Buyers should simply note that some Pact activewear is blended with elastane, which is why Pact earns a mid-tier 3 out of 5 (Yellow) on our plant-fibre standard rather than a top score.
Pact does not publicly document GOTS, OEKO-TEX or Fair Trade certification. Our own scan of 217 Pact styles found 60.5% is 100% plant fibre, which is the material fact behind Pact’s sustainability claims regardless of paper certification.
Pact is not entirely 100% cotton: our scan of 217 Pact styles found 60.5% is 100% plant fibre (mainly cotton), while 35.9% of Pact’s range is synthetic, usually cotton blended with elastane or polyester for stretch. So many Pact basics are pure cotton, but Pact’s fitted and active styles typically add a small share of synthetic.
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.
