“Our Reusable Cloth Face Mask is designed to be simple so we can manufacture as many as possible. It also has a few thoughtful features, such as comfortable, non-elastic yet stretchy and conforming ear loops and a bendable nose bridge. It’s made out of two layers of 65% polyester / 35% cotton blend fabric and is meant to be machine washed (hot) and machine dried (hot). It's made right here in our Seattle, Washington, USA factory.”
