Mens clothing fair labor and organic
August 9, 2015 6:53 AM Subscribe
I am trying to find Mens short sleeve shirt made by non slavery / fair labor.
Fabric should be 100% cotton or linen. Organic is preferred...
When I search the internet I keep bumping into sites that list companies but then the links go dead. There is more choice for women but not for mens clothing. Plenty of t-shirts with slogans to stop this but I am looking for short sleeve button down shirts.
Searching for made in USA doesn't help much either as most links lead to shops who print company logos.
Patagonia's website doesn't have what I am looking for. Plus I feel violated that they do not allow me to see anything on their website with any form or add blocker or anti tracking pluginns on :-(

Was just doing some research on this myself a few months ago! I look forward to seeing what others post as I'm still looking as well.
Have you checked Fair Trade USA's list of clothing manufacturers following fair trade principles?

All American Clothing Co.
All USA Clothing
Union House Apparel
The Union Shop
Duluth Trading Co.
And just came across this directory of American made clothing and other products: http://www.americansworking.com/clothing.html

American Giant also manufactures in America, and while I can't speak for their other clothes, their sweatshirts are amazing. They sell t-shirts and polos. They're often sold out of stuff, though.

Flint and Tinder sells 100% cotton (not organic) men's t-shirts. They sell t-shirts on a 'pre-funded' model, like Kickstarter. Their hoodies are amazing.

Nau currently has one short sleeve button down in cotton--they strive for low-impact both environmentally and socially, but I don't know if they meet your labor criteria.
