Ready for Anything

The company is named after a Latin expression meaning by virtue of office held, an elite member.

We recommend using a washing machine without an agitator. Wash and dry like items only, do not dry with towels or heavy clothing. Wash with low heat on delicate cycle with a detergent that is free and clear of dyes and perfumes. Hang dry or tumble dry on low.

If traveling, wash with soap in a sink or bathtub and wring it out. Lay underwear flat on a dry towel, roll the towel up and squeeze to absorb the water. Hang underwear to dry in a well-ventilated area.

ExOfficio understands the power we have to influence working conditions of the people who make our products. Since they are literally made all over the world, we carefully monitor the environment in which these people work. 

We only put work in factories that we have visited in person. We seek out factories that have a reputation for fairness and community building. We look for long-term relationships and not one-season deals. We discuss our codes of conduct with the factory leaders and require that they be signed before we will place production. 

We continually visit our factories to be sure that economic, social, and political changes have not altered their agreement to abide by the code. We contract the factories through agents who are familiar with the host culture and laws. They are responsible for monitoring factory compliance with our codes in our absence. 

Excerpt from ExOfficio Code of Conduct:

(Child Labor)—The use of child labor is not permissible. ExOfficio will not utilize partners who use child labor in any of their facilities. ExOfficio-selected factories maintain official documentation for every worker that verifies the worker's date of birth. 

(Forced Labor)—Factories will not utilize any form of forced labor—prison, indentured, involuntary, bonded, or otherwise—in contracting relationships in the manufacturing and finishing of ExOfficio products.
