I have looked high and low for clothes all organic and 100% cotton. Why organic? I want clothes that do not have chemicals in them. Companies put formaldehyde in clothes to keep them wrinkle free. I don't think anyone would want this in their clothes..for me it goes bigger because I am allergic to quantum 15. Which is a chemical directly related, found in many other products like skin care products, shampoos and conditioners, smoke from wood, coal, kerosene or charcoal fires. We should be avoiding products we put on our bodies that contain chemicals. We are exposed to different things in our environment every day that we cannot avoid, but what about what we can control, trying to create an environment for ourselves that is as clean and chemical free as possible? Why over expose ourselves?
This brand that I found is the only one that looks hippy free and organic. I'm not trying to look like I walk around licking tress or anything. Hopefully this will catch on more and I won't have to weed out polyester blends..yuck.
Lets just visit exactly what that is....Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Although there are many polyesters, the term "polyester" as a specific material most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyesters include naturally occurring chemicals, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics through step-growth polymerization such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not.
I have been exposed to too much and polyester..because it is not natural..it now irritates my skin.

Still a little hippy...how about just a normal v-neck tee? Or a tank?
I need to go into business.
The only thing I have come up with that I would wear that is a 100% cotton is Gap tees. And I can't say I'm a huge fan of them either. It's not organic that's for sure.
