People of Bottles And Chains, I have a dilemma. I need your help, advice and knowledge.<\/p>\n
Bottles And Chains hoodies and t-shirts are very close to being available for pre-order, but I’ve hit somewhat of a snag. Getting hold of sweatshop free gear that’s ideally made in Australia has been a major factor as far as getting things up and running. Previously I’ve used Qualitops<\/strong><\/a> gear, which is Australian made and owned, and certified No Sweat Stuff. The garments aren’t bad by any means, but the cut leaves a little to be desired.<\/p>\n For those who lean towards the barrel-chested or erm…squat body shape, then they’re not to bad. For those of us who suffer from puny upper bodies and spindly arms, they aren’t so great.<\/p>\n When it comes to a good cut, Gildan<\/strong><\/a> shirts seem to fit the bill perfectly. It’s good quality gear and looks the business. The thing is, they’re not an Australian company and I really can’t seem to figure out if their current clothing production is completely sweatshop free.<\/p>\n So, does anyone know if all the talk on the Gildan website actually means anything, or is it just the usual side-stepping and self-monitoring that most of these big companies do?<\/p>\n More ideally, does anyone know of a good quality, reasonably priced sweat-free clothing manufacturer? Based in Australia would be for the best, but at the moment I’d be happy with anything. American Apparel is no good, as their pricing is just a bit too high.<\/p>\n If you can offer any advice, please e-mail me<\/strong><\/a> or leave it in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" People of Bottles And Chains, I have a dilemma.
