The fabrics you choose to wear matter more than you might think. While polyester dominates the clothing industry as a cost-effective and versatile material, organic cotton offers a healthier, more sustainable alternative. But is there really a difference between these fabrics?
We all know the feeling of slipping into a soft, comfy t-shirt. But what if that comfort extended beyond the feel of the fabric? What if it reached into your conscience, knowing your clothing choice contributed to a healthier planet? That's the power of organic cotton.
Polyester is one of the most commonly used fabrics in the world, found in everything from clothing and bedding to upholstery and outdoor gear. Its durability, affordability, and wrinkle resistance make it a popular choice for manufacturers and consumers alike. However, when it comes to safety, especially for clothing that comes into direct contact with your skin, polyester raises some serious concerns. Here's why polyester is not only toxic but also why it shouldn't be worn on your body, particularly in intimate areas like undergarments.
In recent years, the demand for organic men's clothing has surged as more people become aware of the environmental and health benefits associated with sustainable fashion.

Over 99% of Climate scientists accept that humans are rapidly accelerating climate change into dangerous areas.
Opok creates clothes that are comfortable and soft, that you can relax in, clothes for chilling out with the people you love, and are free of the nasty chemicals that riddle most clothing options.
The survival of our species is dependent on the survival of bees, yet we have seen a 60% world wide population decline since 1947. The US began using synthetic pesticides in the 1930s and became wide spread after World War II and by 1950, pesticides were found to increase farm yields far beyond pre-World War II levels and we became heavily dependent on synthetic pesticides moving forward.
23 more of the world’s most renowned clothing and textile companies, including Burberry, Adidas, Kathmandu and Timberland have pledged to use 100% sustainable cotton by 2025.
The reason that we started Opok was because we learned that these synthetic materials can be detrimental to our health, let alone devastate our environment. We have heard feedback that people are unaware that polyester, the most widely used material in clothing, can be toxic given that it’s in everything. So we did our research and here are our findings.
We took 2 years exploring different natural and sustainable fabrics to determine which materials we would consider using for our products. We ultimately decided on organic cotton because of its soft texture, the lack of chemicals that go into processing, and the sustainability aspect. Below are some of the materials we evaluated and reasons why we passed on them.
With warming air and water, as well as increasing rainfall amounts, climate change is making algae blooms more frequent, widespread, and longer in duration. Treating an algae bloom is often difficult and expensive, costing the city millions of dollars a year to deal with stormwater improvements.
We had a chance to sit down with Marc Richard, M.D., and Mike Richard, M.D., and get their take on the link between pesticides, synthetic chemicals, and human health. Not only are they prestigious doctors with a lot to say— they’re also identical twins like us!
Traditional clothing is often constructed and treated with chemicals that help soften them or prevent them from getting stained or wrinkled. Those chemicals have been linked to adverse health effects such as skin irritation, developmental issues, and even cancer. Opok Organic Boxer Briefs don't have any of those nasty chemicals.
