  • Our Products


  • WHERE ARE YOUR GARMENTS PRODUCED?
    Currently, we produce many of our products in India, China, and some in the United States, as certain factories and regions have different specialties. Over the years, we have developed close relationships with these factories to ensure our garments are made with a high degree of quality and ethical manufacturing that we can stand behind.

  • WHY DON'T YOU MAKE CLOTHING IN SIZES LARGER THAN XXL?
    We have recently started offering a limited number of Men's Styles in XXXL and XXXL Tall sizes. Currently, our Women's line is offered in size XS-XL.



  • Care Instructions


  • HOW DO I CARE FOR MY CARBON2COBALT CLOTHING?
    Each garment comes with instructions specific to its fabric, construction, and dyes. Please refer to your item’s inner tag for the most relevant information.

  • IS THE QUALITY OF CARBON2COBALT GOOD?
    Each of our unique designs are made of the highest quality fabrics and materials available. If you feel your item has faulty construction or subpar materials due to a manufacturing issue, we want to correct the problem. Please reach out to us at service@carbon2cobalt.com or call 805-687-7442. Click here for business hours.

  • ARE YOUR CLOTHES PRE-SHRUNK OR WILL THEY SHRINK AFTER WASHING? If you follow the care instructions on the garment, you should not experience any significant shrinkage. However, all dryers heat differently, and high temperatures can sometimes constrict fibers. We do not recommend drying your garments at high temperatures for extended periods.

    Important note: Our 100% cotton items are pre-washed but not pre-shrunk. Expect some shrinkage after washing and drying garments with a 100% cotton content. We suggest washing in cold water and drying on the lowest setting to minimize shrinkage.

  • WHAT CARE INSTRUCTION TIPS DO YOU ADVISE TO KEEP MY CARBON2COBALT CLOTHING LOOKING ITS BEST?
    • To ensure the longevity of your garment, we do not recommend putting any items in a dryer for extended periods. Dryers run at very high temperatures and can compromise natural fabrics.
    • Wash garments inside out to protect buttons and delicate fabrics.
    • Run a cycle in your washing machine after using bleach to ensure that the chemicals do not affect the next washing load with your clothing to avoid fading.
    • For all garment dyed or indigo pieces, wash alone or with like colors on a delicate cycle by itself for the first few times, as these are prone to bleeding.
    • Due to the dye used in garment-dyed styles, there may be a faint odor, which is normal. Once the piece has been washed the dye smell will fade.
    • Please lay all sweaters and sweatshirts flat to dry to prevent stretching the material or causing threads to pull.
    • It's natural for a minor pilling to occur on soft sweater materials. We recommend using a cashmere comb (which removes pilling on cashmere and other natural fibers) to keep your items looking their best.
    • For any pulls in material, do not cut the thread. A bobby pin can be used to pull the thread back through. If this doesn’t work, please take the item to a tailor for further repair.
