i wear a lot of hemp, fair trade supported, secondhand, true-cost economy, organic, grassroots supportive 'brands'. i am an educated consumer and I refuse to wear what corporate america says is cool. i try not to wear anything that is not recognized by fair trade organizations or that are purveyors of sweatshops or wage labor. i wear stuff that I can feel confident knowing that is fair to the maker and the wearer and that there is no middleman. it may be more expensive to buy FTF clothing, but I know that I am getting exactly what I paid for and giving exactly what is owed. anyway, I hate brand-name clothing except for the following FTF brands. i dont really treat them like brands, but as companies that i can trust:
Blackspot
People Tree
Equop
American Apparel
Bishop Trading Company
Ethical Threads
Footprint Clothing
Funky Ghandi
Tonic
Tradecraft
Greenfibres
One World Is Enough
Hemp Union Hug
Spirit of Nature
