i also like the idea of the military colors, but my tees have to have a pocket. any plans to add pocket tees to the lineup in the future?

Get out of here with your pocket. Why do t shirts ever have pockets? So many good T's, Left Field, 3Sixteen, VelvaSheen are on InstaIgnore because of a goofy, tiny, useless pocket. What do you put in there, a couple of tic tacs? A single peanut M&M, half a day's belly button lint?
Don't mess up a good thing here. I'm okay with it being an option for the Trump sized handed buyers, but please continue to be the outlier with non pocketed T's.

They're useless because they're too small and thin. They also wrinkle like crazy. No thanks. |

bentin my super tiny pocket fits a credit card or a lighter. Gotta be tactical with the pocket, but other than that it does nothing. I tried a pocket tee but I just end up looking light my high school chemistry teacher...

So why not put it in your pants pockets? Are you pantsless? Is that it, pocket T's are for flashers and people with windowless vans?

ORGANIC TEE? CFDCO?so Gabbie asked me if we can sell organic tee shirts? the cotton will come from Texas..so before i commit..i just wanted to ask the board before i tell him ok? also we have some new colors launching today..USMC OLIVE, US NAVY NAVY, AIR FORCE GREY..yes tring to tie it back to vintage military colors…. Gabbie did a good job also Gabbie is working on a denim color tee shirt for us..but he did ask if it should be regular Texas Cotton or Organic? what do you think? also i gave him a dye house in EL Paso Texas that does natural Indigo..so i hope he use my contact to get the indigo dye for the yarn from them.. also what about v-necks? Gabbie is working on a model for me in the Texas cotton. Cheers Ciano Organic cotton sounds awesome. I don't care if it's certified though, your word is quite sufficient. Organic extra long staple cotton dipped in natural indigo would be even better. Like the sound of the new colors. Also, I would really like if the collar was like the old military shirts.  |

Not sure if this contradicts the "99% of all cotton yarn from TEXAS is organic", but according to the Texas Observer, "In Texas, 91 percent of cotton is now genetically modified. Nationwide, the percentage is 94." GM cotton is basically the exact opposite of organic and has only really taken hold in the past several years. Perhaps the GM cotton is exported somewhere and virtually only the organic cotton is spun into yarn in Texas? Or maybe Gabbie's statement was meant only in the context of his yarn suppliers? Does GM mean it's non-organic? I don't know what the strict definition of organic is but I thought that you could grow something organically even if the genes are altered. Maybe he just means that it's grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc. |

For myself, I'm not really sold on the whole organic thing. If you spend a little time on research, you will find that pesticides, and chemicals are still used in organic farming. There are plenty of loopholes that allow farmers to use synthetic pesticides, when there are no other alternatives, and most, if not all chemicals that are "blessed" for organic use, will still kill your ass. I think more importantly than clothing, it is imperative that you should be washing the produce you eat in a vinegar bath, whether labeled organic, or not, as they both are being sprayed unless you grow it yourself. Yea, it can be a pain in the ass, but you'll eliminate the majority of residual pesticides, and my wife takes care of it for us.

You just wash them in the bath as if you were washing them in the sink. Then rinse them off with fresh water. |

Its like what Bigblack said. My wife uses a 9:1 ratio of water to vinegar. Get yourself a tub, or your sink, and soak your produce for around 15 min, and then rinse in fresh water, and then air dry. You'll be amazed at the amount of residue left in the vinegar bath. Its the vinegar that does the dirty work, as just washing with water won't remove the pesticides. |

Maybe he just means that it's grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, etc. That's a great question worth researching. Yes, GMO means non-organic. Here's what i found: "The use of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is prohibited in organic products. This means an organic farmer can’t plant GMO seeds, an organic cow can’t eat GMO alfalfa or corn, and an organic soup producer can’t use any GMO ingredients. To meet the USDA organic regulations, farmers and processors must show they aren’t using GMOs and that they are protecting their products from contact with prohibited substances, such as GMOs, from farm to table."

So what your suggesting is that we get wives to do the cleaning/cooking/work for us? And would we have are wives soak out TShirts in Vinegar also? Its for sure worth a shot. My wife doesn't mind the cleaning of the veggies, because, of course she can do it better, and I'll sign off on that. I do my share of cooking though, as I think I'm pretty good at what I make. I don't use vinegar when laundering, but I do wash my denim, and shirts in a cap full of Castile soap, which was originally made from olive oil, but now most modern brands use vegetable oils, or blends. Eco friendly, and gentile on the expensive stuff we guys buy here. |
