FAQ
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Who do your masks protect and how?
Our masks are designed for everyday wear, by everyday people. We use only high-density, 100% cotton to contain the smallest particles possible.
We now know that many people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic, which means that you may be able to infect others even when you feel fine. Wearing a mask when you’re outside your home reduces the possibility of unknowingly passing infection within your community. The degree to which face masks protect healthy people from becoming infected themselves is still being studied.
Some essential workers whose jobs don’t expose them to Covid-19 patients don’t need medical-grade protective equipment. Our masks are designed for them, too.
Are your masks FDA-approved personal protective equipment (PPE)?
No, our masks are designed for everyday wear, by everyday people in compliance with current CDC guidance. They aren’t substitutes for the surgical masks or N-95 respirators that must be reserved for the healthcare workers who rely on them.
SUPPLIERS AND MANUFACTURING
Where do your materials come from?
All our fabrics are high-quality, 100% cotton denims and chambrays sourced locally from our trusted Los Angeles-based fabric supplier.
Where are your products manufactured?
All our masks are cut, sewn, packaged and shipped from within in our Los Angeles partner factory.
What are working conditions like for your factory employees?
Nothing matters more to us than our team and our shared contributions to an ethical, sustainable garment industry that will thrive for years to come. All our employees receive a living wage for Los Angeles.
To keep them safe during the pandemic, we’ve also established a number of practices and protocols following the guidance of the CDC and the Los Angeles Office of the Mayor. All sewing technicians work at least six feet apart and are provided protective masks. Additional sanitizing stations are located throughout our facility.

CARE AND USE
How do I know your masks will fit me?
We only make one size of each mask because they really are one-size-fits-almost-all. If you’re especially concerned that you might be hard to fit, we recommend choosing the Sentry over the Ace—the adjustable cotton ties offer more customization.
Should I wash my mask(s) before first wear?
We recommend any & all new masks that are purchased should always be washed before first wear.
How many times can I wear your masks before washing them?
We recommend washing a mask after each day of use, so it’s best to get a few.
How should I wash your masks?
Because our masks are made of 100% cotton or cotton/linen blends, they’re fully machine washable, giving you the safest, most complete clean. You can also hand wash and line dry if you prefer.
