Top 5 Organic T-Shirts

One of the hottest advertizing trends right now is to trumpet your company’s “greenness”. It’s understandable that with so much focus on the environment and global warming that this is going to be a hot button claim. Here in the t-shirt world, organic is of course the catchphrase attached to a company’s greenness. What we’ve found though, is that very often despite their very good intentions, people are frequently unwilling to trade style for eco-friendly products. But why should they have to? There’s no reason an organic t-shirt can’t be just as stylish and well-designed as a standard one. With that in mind we’ve scoured design pages and come up with a list of our top five favorite organic t-shirt designs. Enjoy!

    Hey, buying vintage is even better than organic! But more of these organic tee companies are needed especially with all the online t-shirt co’s that are blogged about, the top players should start going the way of organic, or at least offer some of their top selling shirts in organic.

    It gets even trickier with regards to the ink that’s used, etc, as some screen printers can be very environmentally unfriendly.
