The Denim Short Kids

This product's fibre content is disclosed precisely: 100% organic cotton denim with an elastane waistband, made in India, with the elastane confined to the waistband structure rather than placed against the skin.

These shorts have an encased elastic waistband and no buttons, snaps or ties, but no seam construction, stitching reinforcement or durability testing is published for them.

ZDHC-compliant dyes are stated for this brand's knitwear, but no dye chemistry claim is published for the denim shorts.

GOTS is asserted for 'our GOTS-certified partners' making this garment, but no certificate number is tied to the shorts themselves; the only resolvable GOTS registration we found names a factory, and the brand separately states full certification and traceability documentation exists specifically for knitwear, not for this denim item.

We queried the complete CPSC recall database (10,047 records, 1973-2026) for this brand and found no recall filed against it in any role. The search corpus demonstrably covers comparable children's product classes, confirming the clean result is meaningful.

This garment's maker, Vetrivel Tex in Tirupur, India, holds a GOTS licence that is current in the GOTS public database, but the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certificate given for the same maker, 23.HIN.75354, shows as expired in OEKO-TEX's label check and is still presented as current.

The care instructions for this denim call only for cold machine washing and specify no wrinkle-resistant, non-iron, or water/stain-repellent finish, and softness is achieved by carbon-brushing rather than a chemical finishing treatment.

Specific denim care guidance is published for this item, instructing machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colours, though the brand does not separately instruct pre-washing before first wear.

The Simple Folk names the factory behind its garments, with that factory's GOTS licence number, and publishes a traceability page that follows the cotton back to named farms and notes where certification is still in progress. Some garments give a country of manufacture that conflicts with the factory named for them, and no warranty or repair route is published.

These are indigo-dyed denim shorts, so the dye chemistry is the real subject here, and the brand does not publish azo-dye or restricted-substance testing for this denim item specifically, only general ZDHC dye compliance for its knitwear line. No fastener or print claims apply since the shorts use no snaps, zips or graphics.
