Look, the Garment Industry is full of misleading a far-flung claims about these “hot topics.” Most of what is considered “ecofriendly” is made from recycled plastics like water bottles and old fishing nets. This is turned into polyester which takes up over half of the textile fabric produced globally. Recycling is not always an environmentally neutral endeavor. There is the issue of sourcing (collecting) and transporting and the process of breaking down the bottles themselves into a usable fabric. The biggest issue though is microplastics, a problem becoming more and more relevant in today’s world.

What are t-shirts usually made of? Polyester, wool, silk, or cotton to name a few, Usually though a combination of polyester and cotton. Polyester is plastic, often recycled from used water bottles. Our tees are made from 100% cotton, becasue we prefer natural fibers whenever possible, especially next to skin. Perhaps one of the most important thing to consider, when considering a tee shirt, is comfort. Comfort is never overrated. And when it comes down to comfort, there are a couple of factors to consider: breathability, hand feel, and fit.
