Product Insights
Tekla's Striped Organic Cotton Poplin Pyjama Pant is a unisex, durable sleepwear piece made from GOTS- and OEKO-TEX-certified organic cotton, stonewashed for immediate softness and breathability for warm sleepers. Its tight poplin weave resists snags, extra-long fibers prevent pilling, and French seams ensure longevity—backed by B Corp certification and ethical production in Portugal, where most textile firms invest in reducing environmental impact. The Hopper Stripes pattern matches Tekla's cult bathrobes, with a matching shirt sold separately for a custom fit. At $260 CAD, it costs 1.6x to 2.6x more than comparable organic cotton pants from Coyuchi and Bhumi, reflecting premium craftsmanship and sustainable accountability.

### GOTS certified
teklafabrics.comand
The brand uses only OEKO-TEX®-certified cotton, with both the production process and suppliers complying with GOTS guidelines.

the oft-seen GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) label means that an item is made of at least 70% certified organic natural fiber, and the fiber itself is certified to its relevant, government-controlled organic standard.
spinoffmagazine.comTogether, GOTS and OEKO-TEX® provide independent verification of organic integrity and chemical safety, a pairing uncommon in sleepwear.
