Save No Sweat
I am always searching for the perfect tee shirt.
What was printed on the shirt used to matter more to me than the shirt itself, but I learned to value cut and quality, then responsible labor and production practices.
American Apparel made my first favorite tee shirt, and I stocked up during the two years when I lived across the street from their store. But while AA originally excelled at creating shirts that lasted and fit well, recently they have changed the cut of their Fine Jersey tee and may not be the good corporate citizen I once thought.
Patagonia made my second favorite tee shirt — it fit great, looked cool, and was made of organic cotton by an exemplary company. If Patagonia made tee shirts that were a little cheaper (they cost $30) and came in solid colors (patterns only), I wouldn’t be writing this article.
A few months ago a co-worker suggested No Sweat, a Boston company that sells a variety of shirts, tanks, shorts, pants and more. I ordered one of their Organic Bethlehem Unisex No Logo Tees (which cost only $15) and took it for a test drive. Three washes later, it’s still my (new) favorite tee shirt.
Anyway, the point of writing this article is to say that No Sweat is currently suffering a cash crunch, and now would be a great time to order a shirt! I am almost certain you will be a satisfied customer.
