The Big Favorite | Circular Savings Program

FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS $100+ - 15% OFF [3] SELECT 1-PACKS!

HOW IT WORKS:



1. BUY

You pick your favorite, buy it, and it arrives on your doorstep.


2. WEAR

Wear them how you want them, and wear them out. Science suggests people replace understuff every six months. That sounds about right, but we’re not the boss of you.


3. RECYCLE

When you’ve worn your TBF out, scan the QR on your garment label or visit this page to create a free shipping label. Slide your clean (yeah, wash them once more), but retired, TBF products in a USPS paper mailer, affix the label, and drop them into the nearest USPS mailbox. If you’re in Philadelphia, PA like we are, use the form if you want the option to pick-up or drop-off.


4. REWARDS

When we receive it, we’ll confirm your Circular Savings. 
Think of it as a forever discount. Earn credit towards a future purchase, or donate your rewards to a good cause. Pima Cotton is the new Aluminum.


*Forever Discounts are listed on each individual product page.


5. THE REST

It’s on us. We sort the recaptured understuff, sanitize it, and partner with textile recyclers to shred it and turn it into new yarn.

Recycling Return Label Form

Should be Empty:

We’ll email you with a pre-paid label or more information coordinating a pick-up / drop-off and we will confirm your savings. Please check your Spam if you don't hear from us!

Why recycle? Short answer: because 11M pounds of undergarment textile waste enter U.S. landfills daily. You’re helping to reduce methane output, divert clothing waste from landfills, and make new yarn. Find out more about our process here.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS BY 2025

14.9K+

garments recycled

Closed loop is the future. We’re here to make it a reality: a circular system to recycle your undergarments so they go everywhere but the trash.

22K+

miles of yarn recreated

Every t-shirt is made of almost one mile of yarn. And, yeah, yarn from your understuff can be cleaned and upcycled. In the right hands (ours), that means infinite possibilities.

6.2K+

pounds of waste diverted from landfills

Have you ever seen a Bob Ross paint a landfill? Didn’t think so. Because landscapes, not landfills.

11.2+

metric tons of methane taken out of the atmosphere

Methane is 30x more potent than Carbon. Every time a t-shirt biodegrades, it produces methane - even in composting. That’s why it’s important to reduce your consumption, divert your clothes from landfills, and do your part to reduce your carbon footprint.

incorporate

100% Organic Cotton

100% Organic Pima is hard to find and, tbh, very expensive for us and for you. We're working on incorporating as much Organic Cotton as we can while keeping things affordable. In the meantime, we have some good news! Our fabric supplier is now Oeko-Tex Certified. That means every component of the fabric has been rigorously tested against a list of up to 350 toxic chemicals.

zero

elastic waistbands on your understuff

We've already removed plastic and synthetic stretch from our fabrics. In our perfect world, elastic waistbands would be outlawed. Made of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers, elastics find their forever-home in landfills across the world. However, we've got some ideas on how to reuse these once they come back to us. In the meantime, we are currently on the hunt for a biodegradable alternative.

co2

carbon neutrality

We are continuously analyzing better ways to reduce our own carbon footprint. That means eco-optimizing everything AND the kitchen sink: development, production, packaging, operations, and shipping.

de&i

diversity, equity, and inclusion

People are part of this planet, too. Which is why we will constantly and consistently value and hire team members who reflect this great big, diverse world.
