Madder Sweatshorts

Unisex Sweatshorts GOTS Organic Cotton Waist 24”, Rise 12”, Inseam 7” Hand dyed using Madder root. Madder (Rubia cordifloria) is one of the most ancient dyes. It was the source of an economically important red pigment in many regions of Asia, Europe and Africa and was extensively cultivated from antiquity until the mid-nineteenth century. The dye comes from the root and takes several years before it can be harvested for dye use.  These shorts are one of a kind.
