 Although we at Irregular Times love wearing punchy progressive t-shirts out in public to annoy the regressive elements of our society into submission, we've always felt a twinge as we did so. The problem has been twofold. First, most t-shirts are made in sweatshops where workers aren't paid enough to live on. Second, t-shirts tend to use cotton farmed using environmentally insensitive techniques. Sad, but true. And how odd, we thought, that one might wear a progressive garment that was not produced progressively.
Cognitive dissonance is not fun. So we are incredibly happy to report that we've found a way to offer progressive t-shirts from a no-sweatshop operation (American Apparel) that are made of organic cotton. You can wear these shirts knowing that you are a progressive in deed as well as word, helping socially-responsible garment outfits to thrive.
This page displays t-shirts with messages opposing war and embracing peace, messages perhaps expressed best using cotton grown organically, in peace with the earth. Keep in mind that these are "stylish" shirts, which in non-coded language means they tend toward the small. If you're worried about that sort of thing, we recommend you order a size up. |
