Description

Arroyo 4x4Cotto, a Terra Cotta love story. Cotto (from the Italian terra cotta or "baked earth") is part of a long line of fired clays that date back to the dawn of civilization itself. From Egyptian water jugs to Chinese roof tiles to Roman bricks terra cotta has been part of the human story for as long as we've had an alphabet. The materials that go into making our Cotto haven't changed much over the millennia, but the way in which they're fired has evolved.

Cotto, a Terra Cotta love story.


Cotto (from the Italian terra cotta or "baked earth") is part of a long line of fired clays that date back to the dawn of civilization itself. From Egyptian water jugs to Chinese roof tiles to Roman bricks terra cotta has been part of the human story for as long as we've had an alphabet. The materials that go into making our Cotto haven't changed much over the millennia, but the way in which they're fired has evolved. From kiln furniture to mold designs to firing method, our handmade and high-fired Cotto is our modern take on an ancient world tradition.

We make Cotto in Mexico, a country with an incredibly rich history in ceramic arts. The techniques to manufacture our modern terra cotta have their roots in the arrival of the Spanish and the establishment of San Miguel de Allende in 1551. A UNESCO World Heritage site, San Miguel is arguably one the most important colonial cities in all of the Americas. It's also covered in historic terra cotta. From ancient roof tiles to 400 year old floors, it's a city that takes fired clay to a whole new level. It's also the fitting home of our Cotto line.


How It's Made

Made from locally sourced organic clays, our hand crafted Cotto elevates the storied tradition of terra cotta. Each clay formulation is mixed with water and blended to the ideal consistency. The clay mixture is pressed to shape in a mold and allowed to dry for 1-2 weeks. This is to achieve the right moisture level for firing. It's also at this point that wood ash is added to the surface of our "Fired Earth" tiles. The ash is what gives Fired Earth its unique surface coloration. An important note here this process is highly dependent on the weather. San Miguel has a distinct rainy season that can delay drying times by quite a bit! Once dried, tiles are brushed and stacked, ready for the kiln.

What Sets Our Cotto Apart?

Unlike most Cotto or traditional terra cotta, we high-fire our clay at 1260 Centigrade (230 Fahrenheit). What this means is that the terra cotta becomes "semi-vitrified" increasing in density and decreasing in porosity. Special kiln furniture is needed at such high temperatures to ensure the tiles don't warp or bend. It is also the most difficult step in their manufacture, requiring a skilled technician throughout the day and a half firing period. The result is an incredibly durable, highly unique tile that is unlike any other terra cotta on Earth.

Exactly as FP describes
Size: 27, Color: Deep End
Quality denim with the classic FP barrel or horseshoe leg. These are deep, dark blue rigid denim with a button fly. Hits at the ankle for me, but if you are shorter than 5'9" you may a get full length fit from these. I own these jeans in multiple colors and these are another FP win for me.

Perfect lightweight denim for summer in Florida!
Size: Large, Color: Union Blue, Size: Large, Color: Union Blue
LOVE EM. Insanely comfortable and lightweight quality denim with a kiss of stretch (perfect for summer). I pair them with tees, cropped tops, tanks or button up shirts. They’re adorable with sandals, sneaks, flats or flops. I went through about 5 pairs of jeans from different stores looking for the perfect combo of lightweight, comfy and stylish; these fit the bill. The distressed accents (a few rips and paint flecks) add interest without being over the top. The attached belt is such an adorable accent. Love love love these and will likely buy a second pair. True to size.

Super comfy, roomy, great quality!
Size: Medium, Color: Calypso Blue
These are so cute! They fit nicely, actually run a bit big but that’s probably intentional. I’m short, just a little over 5 feet tall and they are the perfect length for me. I got a medium, i normally wear some mediums and some larges. They are lightweight denim and great quality!

Sturdy fabric, well made.
Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue
I LOVE these pants!!! Who buys pants online??? I NEVER do, but I took the chance band I absolutely adore them!! I’m 5”10’ 200lbs and they are so super comfy and look fabulous on me too. (If I do say so myself) Wore them to the baseball game and got three compliments. Might order another pair? Seriously, they are well constructed. Good solid material with just enough stretch. The pockets are actual Pockets. I seriously love them.

Great fit, good quality, horrible smell
Size: X-Large, Color: Calypso Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Calypso Blue
Surprisingly decent for the low price. Love the details. Fit is good, but I sized up based on the measurements (I wear a 14 but bout the XL/16-18) and I like the looser fit if them. Would honestly rate 5 stars, but there was a HORRIFIC little fragrance pie thing stuck in the bag... I'm sure, based on how many people I walk past in the world stink of hyper-scented laundry detergent, that this is not a problem for some folks, but many people also have fragrance sensitivities, and this can be not just problematic for some, but dangerous. I had to wash these jeans 4 times before the odor went away enough for me to wear them. So that was disappointing, but otherwise, I'm a fan.
