It's Not All Boxy Heavyweights or Sheer Burnouts

While I understand their function, I am not enthusiastic about traditional heavyweight T-shirts. They're too boxy for my tastes. At the same time, I prefer clothing you can't see through. Current fashion shirts like burnout and sheer styles are interesting... but like the boxy tees, they're just not my thing.Fortunately, Ethix Merch offers styles and shirt-weights for everyone. We understand heavier shirts are great for durability, and fashion styles are great for younger, cooler people than I. Fortunately for me, we now have even more options for those who want something in the middle: new 5.4 oz. American Made Tees.

Complexity of Apparel Supply Chains

Supply chains are complicated. They are less complicated for common fair trade items like coffee or handmade baskets, but we deal with promotional products. Items that have custom embellishments like screen printing and embroidery have more complex manufacturing processes than most agricultural or artisan items.See_Instant_Pricing_Custom_ShirtsWhen considering the supply chain of any old printed T-shirt, most people who care about sweatshops immediately think of the cut-and-sew factory.However, custom logo designs do not magically appear on your clothing- people make that part, too.
