Creating a high-quality graphic t-shirt involves more than just design and picking the right kind of fabric; it requires mindful choices that impact the earth and ethical practices that impact the employees that make them.
At People of Leisure, we pride ourselves on taking on the responsibility that respects both the planet and the people behind our products. One of the highlights of our t-shirt making process is the utilization of low-impact dyes for our popular Organic Band Graphics Collection. Unlike common dyeing processes that have negative impact on the environment, low-impact dyes reduce water usage, exclude toxic chemicals, and ensure better treatment of the earth and the workers involved. Our commitment to choosing an eco-friendly dye process is part of our goal to lead by example and to demonstrate responsible manufacturing.
Our catalog consists of shirts made from upcycled cotton from recycled fabric. Upcycling is the process of repurposing discarded material to decrease environmental waste and to conserve energy and resources. By incorporating upcycled materials into our products, we offer our customers the opportunity to support a positive impact on the planet without compromising style or comfort. On top of that, the use of organic cotton, when we do use them, ensures that our garments are free from harmful chemicals, providing a healthier choice for both consumers and the planet.
However, the quality of a t-shirt extends beyond the materials and methods used in its creation. It's also about the hands that make them. At People of Leisure, we believe in ethically made fashion, which is why the majority of our products are made in Los Angeles by skilled artisans who are paid fair wages and treated with respect. Our commitment to ethical manufacturing ensures that every t-shirt we produce not only meets high standards of quality but also supports a model of production that values human dignity and worker rights. By choosing to manufacture locally, we maintain a close relationship with our producers, ensuring transparency and accountability in every step of the process.
In conclusion, the essence of a great vintage band tee lies in its dyeing process, the careful sourcing of fabrics, and the method of printing graphics. Beyond these factors, it's the assurance that creating these shirts does not compromise environmental integrity or the craftsmen's well-being. At People of Leisure, we simplify the quest for ethical, high-quality graphic tees. Explore our Organic Band Graphics Collection to discover your perfect find.
