American apparel t-shirts
We have t-shirts for Sale:
The Goat Justice League hasn’t figured out how to use Paypal, etc., so if you want to buy a t-shirt, send me an e-mail and we’ll figure out how to get the t-shirt to you and the money to me.
Adult t-shirts come in grey, red, black, and lavender in either mens or womens. Womens sizes run VERY small. For example, a 5’5” 130lb woman would wear an XL for a fitted yet comfortable look, a large for a tight fit, and a medium for a skin tight fit.
Printing: Pork Chop Screen Printers located in the Central Area of Seattle printed these t-shirts.
Manufacturing: The t-shirts were manufactured by American Apparel in Los Angeles. They are non-sweat-shop made. Here’s what American Apparel says about itself on it’s website:
For us "sweatshop free" was never about criticizing other business models; it was about attempting something new. It comes down to this: not blindly outsourcing, but rather knowing the faces of our workers and providing them the opportunity to make a fair wage.
The average sewer with experience at American Apparel is making about $25,000/yr (i.e. $12/hr, well over twice the federal minimum). This can be higher in some cases. We also offer parking, subsidized public transport, subsidized lunches, free onsite massages, a bike lending program, a program of paid days off, ESL classes and much more. Most importantly we guarantee job security and full-time employment; this is an anomaly in the garment industry, which has historically been dominated by seasonal work.
We also continue to provide all of our employees and their families with company-subsidized, affordable health insurance ($8/week, $1-3/week for children). And we just made everyone's lives a little easier by opening an onsite medical clinic. This facility, which is the first of its kind, offers primary care services along with pediatric, urgent and preventative health care.
My next door neighbor, Judith Starbuck, designed the Goat Justice League Logo.
