For those who care: Today we live in a world where over 90% of all cotton is genetically modifyed....
but not all cotton clothing is GM...
some companies still stand by quality and tradition:
IRON HEART:
"We use NO GM cotton in any of our products(Iron Heart)." made with U.S. cotton.
Pure Blue Japan:
"Our cotton is not genetically modified(Pure Blue Japan)."
Industry of All Nations
100% organic Indian cotton!!! Natural Indigo shirts, hand-loomed denim jeans, etc... and more...

Old Blue Denim:
there Organic Indigo Indian Selvedge Jeans are saving lives
Nudie Jeans:
"All our denim ( jeans and denimjackets) are made from organic cotton, as well as all our t-shirts including backboneprogram which also has underwear. The backbone program are made of fairtrade organic cotton.
Some of our other items such as shirts are also made of organic cotton, but we have not reached 100% yet due to low quanity of order and fabric qualities we decided to have. We hope that we will be able all our shirts as well in organic cotton in the future(Nudie Jeans)."
Nudie also sorces some of there cotton from india... save that farmer!

Naked&Famous:
N&F told me they don't know about GM cotton in there products and they haven't gotten back with me since then.
however, N&F has an organic line and an ELS line.
I bet they either use no GM cotton or very little, due the the quality of there cotton clothing.
Gustin:
"To our Knowledge, the mills we buy from in Japan, Italy and the US do not use GM cotton(Gustin)."
In other words they don't know... but they do use some organics..

Levis:
has an organic line
when asked about Levis pollicy on GM-cotton, they responded with:
"We sincerely appreciate your interest. Due to the volume of requests for information we receive, we aren’t able to provide detailed answers to specific questions about our company(Levi Strauss & Co)."
All organics are GMO-free by definition
Also GM-free types of cotton include Extra Long Staple (ELS) Cottons:
