The Transparent Path to Responsibility
1 STEP ONE Every ComfortWash™ garment begins with U.S. grown cotton, mainly grown in America’s southern states on naturally irrigated local farms.
2 STEP TWO The cotton travels to an energy-efficient, zero-waste facility within the U.S.—then spun into a superior, softer yarn.
3 STEP THREE The garments are cut and sewn in a Hanes® owned, locally employed facility in El Salvador. Our plant utilizes on-site renewable energy production including its water-treatment process.

Sharing More Than Words #CropToCampus
Hanes® invited college students to take a first-hand tour of our entire supply chain, from the locally-owned cotton fields of North Carolina to company-owned, energy-efficient facilities in El Salvador. This level of transparency left a lasting impression on our guests—as shown in their own words below:
“There are so many steps that go into making a T-shirt that you don’t really think about. You just pay money for the final product. It’s cool to see every step in the process and not take it for granted.”
