The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

DON'T PANIC, IT'S ORGANIC: Currently approximately 80% of our product is made of organic cotton. Supporting organic cotton farms is vital to the long term sustainability and health of life on our planet. Help us fill up the remaining 20% by sending us info about companies who make organic clothing. The availability is scarce. Lets bring up the supply by creating a demand.

Darker pigment or random coloring usually washes out with time and adds to it's uniqueness. |
