Weeds Apparel

Made of 100% fine ring-spun combed cotton. This lightweight cotton is noticeably softer and smoother because it's combed, spun tighter, and woven finer, making it just as opaque as a much heavier fabric.

The greatest breakthrough of the last decade was when American Apparel turned the fit of a T-shirt into a message...The message was you—your body thrust out there into the world, shrink-wrapped in every conceivable color. Not only do these shirts feel great when you wear them, American Apparel manufactures all of their garments in the United States. Within American Apparel’s business model, knitting, dyeing, cutting, sewing, photography, marketing, distribution, and design all happen in the company's facilities in Los Angeles. The company operates the largest garment factory in the United States, at a time when most apparel production has moved offshore. American Apparel leverages art, design and technology to advance the business process, while continuing to pioneer industry standards of social and environmental responsibility in the workplace.

American Apparel is beginning to incorporate sustainable fabrics such as bamboo and recycled polyester into their product line. American Apparel is always looking into more recycled blends to integrate into the main line.

The benefits of bamboo are abundant. Because bamboo grows so quickly, it is a resource that is not only sustainable, but also gives back to the environment. Beyond the environment, there are many benefits for the people wearing bamboo t-shirts. You can feel good about yourself when you wear a bamboo t-shirt. You can paint a smile on your face just knowing the material you are wearing is fed by rain. Just rain. Little drops from the sky. Your shirt didn't need to be bathed with water resources we can't afford. It wasn't saturated with pesticides or fertilizers. It grew naturally, with the sun, the rain, the stars and the moon. Bamboo t-shirts feel smooth against your body and move with you beautifully.

The bamboo t-shirts are fuss-free and the bamboo t-shirts are pre-washed, so you won't have to worry about shrinkage. Just toss it in your washer, your dryer and back on your body.

Hemp is an amazing plant that lasts a lifetime. Hemp has been in use since 770 AD. Since that time, it has been used to make everything from rope to clothing, to paper. As a fabric, hemp filters UV light, so your skin is protected. It resists bacterial growth, so you won't smell, again, no guarantees about your personal habits, but we're not adding to the cause. Hemp has four times the strength of cotton so it won't weaken when washed.

A step away from cotton, the drape and hang of hemp has been compared to linen. Like a baseball glove you've had for ten years, hemp fabric becomes softer with use. Hemp also absorbs moisture quickly, keeping your body dry. Being one of the most durable fibers on earth, hemp isn't going anywhere for a long time, except out of our narrow-minded country. Hemp is illegal to grow in the US, even though the hemp plant is different from the marijuana plant and doesn't get anyone high. What you inhale is your business, but the business we're concerned with is bringing this great fabric back into the awareness of the public. We have alternatives to cotton and it's about time we really understood what those are.

Because hemp is more water-absorbent than cotton, it will retain dye better than any other fabric, keeping your colors from fading better than Tide can. Hemp also has a porous personality that allows it to breathe, keeping you cool in the summer. And like bamboo and wool, hemp is warmer in cooler weather.
