Why Cotton Clothing is a Staple at Gambol by Gob

At Gambol by Gob, we’re proud to design unisex clothing that doesn’t just turn heads but also respects the planet. One of our favourite materials? Cotton. It’s classic, breathable, and deeply aligned with our values of comfort, quality, and sustainability.

In this blog, we’re diving into why we love cotton, why it features in many of our handmade garments, and why you should consider investing in cotton clothing as part of your everyday wardrobe.

The Benefits of Cotton Clothing

Cotton is one of the most widely used natural fibres in the world, and for good reason. It’s been worn for thousands of years and continues to be a top choice for designers, wearers, and ethical fashion brands alike.

Here are some of the key reasons we use cotton in many of our designs:

Breathable and Comfortable

Cotton is highly breathable and helps regulate body temperature, making it ideal for clothing you can wear all year round. It allows air to circulate through the fibres, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter when layered up.

For our unisex designs, whether it’s a loose-fitting shirt, a statement tee, or a pair of relaxed trousers, this comfort is key. We want you to feel as good as you look

Hypoallergenic and Gentle on Skin

Cotton is naturally hypoallergenic, which means it’s less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. This is especially important for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

Our cotton garments are kind to skin, soft to the touch, and free from harsh synthetic fibres that can cause itchiness or discomfort. When you wear Gambol by Gob, you’re wearing fabric that works with your body, not against it.

Durable and Long-Lasting

We believe in slow fashion, not throwaway fashion. Cotton is a strong fibre that holds up well over time, even after multiple washes. When cared for properly, cotton clothing can last for years without losing its shape or quality.

At Gambol by Gob, we create each piece with longevity in mind. Investing in quality means you buy less, but better.

Easy to Care For

Cotton is low-maintenance and easy to wash, making it a practical option for daily wear. No special dry-cleaning, no overly complicated instructions, just clothing that fits into your real life.

Our items can be machine washed on a cool cycle and line dried, which is better for the environment and your energy bill! 

Sustainable When Sourced Responsibly

While not all cotton is created equal, when sourced ethically and sustainably, cotton can be one of the most environmentally friendly fibres available.

At Gambol by Gob, we’re committed to sourcing our materials from responsible suppliers. Many of the cottons we use are either organic or upcycled, reducing waste and avoiding harmful chemicals in the production process.

We’re not perfect, but we’re always striving to do better for the planet and the people on it.

Why We Choose Cotton at Gambol by Gob

We don’t just choose cotton because it’s comfortable or versatile (although it absolutely is). We choose it because it aligns with our values as a brand.

Here’s how:

✔ It Supports Our Sustainability Mission

Fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries. By using natural fibres like cotton, especially organic or deadstock cotton, we reduce our reliance on plastic-based synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, which take hundreds of years to break down.

Choosing cotton helps us make fashion that’s not just expressive, but ethical.

✔ It Feels Good on All Bodies

We design clothing that’s unisex, inclusive, and body-positive. Cotton supports that mission by being adaptable and forgiving. Whether structured or flowing, cotton garments work across body types and gender expressions.

At Gambol by Gob, we believe clothing should feel good, do good, and make you feel powerful. Cotton helps us do all three.

From breathable everyday basics to standout statement pieces, our cotton clothing is designed to celebrate individuality without compromising the environment. When you shop with us, you’re not just buying clothes. you’re supporting a movement towards slower, more meaningful fashion.

So next time you slip into one of our cotton shirts, hoodies, or accessories, know this: you’re making a choice that’s better for your body, your wardrobe, and the world.
