GARMENT STANDARDS & PRACTICAL DETAILS

BUILT TO BE KEPT.

When you spend £45–£95 on a garment, you should know exactly what fabric touches your skin, how it measures, how to wash it, and how returns work.

04 · FROM THE LONDON STUDIO — WHY THIS EXISTS

Started Around a Kitchen Table in London

NOT YOURS TO CARRY™ began with a simple observation: the heaviest things most adults carry aren’t their jobs or their calendars — they are the unspoken family roles handed down long before they had a choice. The peacekeeper. The strong one. The one who keeps the peace at dinner.

We wanted to make garments with enough weight and restraint to wear those truths in plain sight — without sounding like a self-help book. Every piece is produced in small UK batches on GOTS-certified organic cotton so nothing sits in landfill.

02 · FABRIC & WASH CARE

Why 350 GSM 100% Organic Cotton

Core crewnecks use the Stanley/Stella Changer 2.0 (STSU178): 100% GOTS-certified organic ring-spun combed cotton with a soft brushed fleece interior, set-in sleeves, and 1×1 rib at the neckband, sleeve cuffs, and hem. Zero cheap polyester blends in our core crewnecks or tees.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) inside out with similar colours.
  • Drying: Line dry flat. Do not tumble dry (preserves fabric weight & typography).
  • Ironing: Iron at low temperature inside out; never iron directly over chest lettering.
03 · UK SHIPPING, RETURNS & DROP 01

Brand Manifesto

NOT YOURS TO CARRY
isn’t about pretending nothing affects us.

It’s about noticing what we’ve been carrying
long enough to ask:

Was this ever mine?

Sometimes the answer is complicated.
Sometimes it’s funny.
Sometimes it’s a T-shirt.
CONVERSATION. AWARENESS. APPAREL.
