In a world where ownership shapes everything, the fabric on your back should tell the truth too.
We’re making the jump: by 2027, every textile we use in-house will come from a 100% Black-owned cotton.
Meet the Black Supply Hoodie: Prototype 001
The softest hoodie we’ve worn in years. Custom-sewn from stitch to silhouette. We’ve been building this for the last 6 months; and this exact cut is never coming back.
Prototype 001 is now live for preorder, and in person at 5)3 @antigentrificationcoffeeclub and @themanewildling
Grown by Black farmers and spruced through @comococotton .
We’ve linked cotton with the world’s first all-Black coffee supply chain.
Rooted. Regenerative. Ours. And very limited.
From Memphis to the world.

From field to fabric with @comococotton . Ever wondered how you can directly support modern-day cotton growers in the South? Our John Henry T-shirt and Shop Rag invites support of the Aama Sustainability Initiative creating a vertical supply chain for these materials and welcomes a dialogue on equity and ownership.
For House of Aama’s SS26 collection, we partnered with COMOCO by Stephen Satterfield, which is reviving Black-grown cotton in the United States, launching our Aama Sustainability Initiative.
This initiative centers on creating a vertical supply chain by partnering with Black farmers in the South to produce cotton. With this partnership, we are reclaiming the narrative around cotton production, transforming it from a symbol of historical oppression into one of empowerment and sustainability. By integrating locally sourced, natural fibers into our designs, we honor Southern heritage while fostering economic opportunities for Black agricultural communities, championing a farm-to-store approach.
This partnership is built around the agricultural legacy of the South, focusing on sustainability and reclaiming the historical narrative of cotton production. With House of Aama’s new vertical supply chain initiative with Black farmers this proposed collaboration pays homage to Black excellence, resilience, and the journey from cotton fields to global influence. COMOCO purchases cotton from Black farmers at a premium, then use the media to tell their stories, advocate and inspire. All with the goal of creating a textile manufacturer rooted in lineage, liberation and craft. A material legacy historically tied to oppression is being reimagined into a symbol of excellence and empowerment. #houseofaama #comococotton

Hello October! We’ve been in the weeds preparing for harvest season which is now weeks away.
This month is a *critical* time for COMOCO and our farming partners. They work all year long for a sprint that last just a few weeks.
Farmers are facing additional pressure this harvest season due to the collapse of the soybean market, which has been driven to ZERO due to undisciplined and disastrous trade policy thanks to the head of the US govt. That means it’s high stakes for this year’s cotton harvest. If you’ve been on the fence about how to support, this is the moment to jump and in join the movement to reclaim cotton.
Black agrarian land is a rarity and we cannot cede an inch!! Shoutout to the Moore family and all the Black farmers who have seen it all navigated with grace and determination.

There’s no such thing as a Black-owned supply chain in apparel. There’s also no shame in that.
But COMOCO is changing things.
See, a truly Black-owned supply chain would require ownership at every step—the means of production itself. We do not buy blank shirts, we make them. We buy raw cotton directly from Black farmers who own their farms. We move that raw material through our network of ginner, spinners, fabric manufacturers—all in North Carolina, all within a couple hundred miles radius.
The culinary world has done a remarkable job communicating the virtues of farm-to-table consumption. Anyone who has ever grown or tasted a tomato from their own garden knows that provenance is a commentary on quality. It’s also a commentary on common sense.
Less than 2% of clothes purchased by “Americans” are made in the USA. This doesn’t pass the common sense vibe check.
“Americans” champion “Made in USA” in theory, but when it comes to dollars, we prioritize keeping them in our pockets above all other values. We’re comfortable with supremacist rhetoric about our preferences until the receipt arrives.
COMOCO owns more than raw cotton and a cut and sew operation—we own the hard-earned relationships across our supply chain that make what we do possible and singular.
So no, there is not yet a Black-owned supply chain in apparel, but we have @comococotton , and for now, that’s the closest thing in the market.
De minimis is ending. Y’all come see about us before you’re forced to.
30,000 camel-loads. Every year. For centuries.
Before steam engines, before factories, before Europe even knew what luxury fabric looked like—cotton was already connecting continents through sophisticated trade networks that spanned from Gujarat to Persian bazaars.
Gujarati artisans perfected techniques so advanced that Persian nobles would cross deserts to acquire them. Ajrakh block printing created patterns that became luxury standards across three continents. South Asian civilizations built the world’s first global textile economy.
Then factories arrived.
Our Certified Black Grown Cotton connects to 5,000 years of authentic excellence—not the sanitized version fashion wants you to believe.

Only the biggest losers think enslavement was the only way to profit from slavery the institution. That 2% statistic is bullshit. Cotton money is still alive and thriving. It lives inside the S&P, pension funds and property deeds. We are all still spending cotton money, its deficit or inheritance. Please send the Biggest Losers in your life COMOCO’s Substack, RAW MATERIAL, so they can learn how slavery was an economic institution that did not die, but rather evolved.

Cotton created the wealth of the west. But one of its most longstanding consequences was one of proximity. Separating makers from materials was an evolution of the plantation system—an agricultural factory of commodity crops and human suffering was supplanted by one that did the same thing across continents.
These increased distances also weaponized geography by removing the prospects of ownership for the working class. At COMOCO, when we choose proximity over distance, it is with intent and represents an opposition to 250 years of an economic architecture that is racist and extractive.

We make our garments 100% in the United States. That means, no offshore spinning, no imported yarn.
