Greetings from San Francisco. Cotton the First was founded by Charles S, a Thai-born SF-based artist. After leaving his stable art career at Disney in 2018, he has continued his craft and brought his drawings to life on fabric. He takes pride in the subtle details, while designing prints that remind you how great it is to live in the Bay Area. The ordinary shirt becomes extraordinary, creating memories and connecting people through style.

We simplify the fit to make it easy for you. As one of our customers puts it:
"I'm 5'10'' and 155lb with an athletic slim build - 30" waist. I can never find shirts that fit me well. Regular shirts are like tents on me and even slim fit generally isn't slim enough. Depending on the brand I'm either a small or sometimes medium. I don't bother looking at non slim fit shirts and even with those, shirts that fit my shoulders/chest are always too big at the waist and ones that fit my waist are too small at the shoulders. These shirts in medium fit like they were made for me."
