BRIGHT DREAM (FASHION)

Do you want to wear your chinos without needing to iron them?

WE LOVE:

Crisp, pale colored and white chinos, linen, and shirts…
…that can be worn straight off the line time after time

BUT DID YOU KNOW:

Most non-iron fabrics require a resin application…
...that often contains carcinogenic formaldehyde…
…but non-iron fabrics made without formaldehyde tend to be less white or colored changed on pale shades
