Change your shirt. Change the world.

“Why would someone not wear something like this?” Tim says with obvious glee, holding up a T-shirt that reads Nintendo Rehabilitation Clinic. “Why should that languish in a basement or in a drawer just because someone got sick of it?” — Marquette Magazine feature on Teecycle

Talk about doing a fuck of a lot with a little, bravo guys

The reasons to buy used and vintage clothing are growing exponentially. There’s the cash-saving factor, the environmental factor, the ever-important hipster factor and there’s a charity factor.

T-shirts kick ass, green t-shirts kick even more ass. Teecycle.org is a cool new site that sells “gently used” one off t-shirts- a great price at about half the average cost of other cool tees online -EarthFirst

Scouring yard sales and thrift stores around the Midwest, the people behind Teecyle are on a mission to give vintage t-shirts the second chance they deserve, all while helping others. — MidWasteland

(Teecycle’s) broader, philosophical goal is to remind people you can reuse these old things and value them, rather than going to the local Target and buying another thing off the rack.

I must say it’s a pretty cool concept. -Troundup

Yes I know, you COULD do it through e-bay, or craigslist. Or you COULD rummage through your neighborhood thrift shop. But c’mon! Everyone knows specialized sites are waaaay cooler! And the internet doesn’t smell like grandma. -Another Apple

The moose shirt is so cute, and very comfortable. Thanks for coming up with such a great idea and actually doing something with it! -Trinity L., customer, East Bay, Californi

It’s pretty much a genius idea. How many new shirts do we really need out on the streets? I mean, really. Why do you need to spend $25 on a new shirt at (insert trendy store here) when you can wear this for $7? - Conversation with Myself

OK, seriously…That TEECYCLE blog is too funny. He’s a freakin genius!! And a cute one at that!! hubba hubba - RealRach

I loooove the shirt! -Katy W., customer, Dothan, AL

I have been getting email updates from the amazingly fantastic blog TeeCycle.org. These vintage t-shirts do a great job of communicating a message and it is a great place to check out some color combinations. They have really nice pictures and often funny commentary about the t-shirts. I highly recommend signing up for their daily email. - Spreadshirt

This is a genius idea for tee afficionados, enabling us to get our hands on an amazing variety of pre-loved tees at bargain prices. - Thunderfrogs

Jesus approves of the good work you’re doing and wanted to show his appreciation for your keeping awesome shirts out of not-so-awesome landfills. — Erin H., customer and cast member of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Absolutely brilliant, mate. I love the fact that I don’t have to go shopping anymore! - Ben H., London, England; teecycle’s biggest customer

Timmay, the Alaska shirt is awesome. — Kevin O., Chicago

I just received my second shirt from you guys today! (The first was the “This is my Fifth” Beethoven and the second is the “Spanglish” one) I just wanted to say keep up the good work, I think what you’re doing is really great. Also, I like the way your detergent smells! — Nichole B., Milwaukee

Who (sort of) loves us

I don’t see the connection between urban rivers and used T-shirts, Tim, and I think urban rivers are in serious trouble if we’re restoring them one-dollar-per-used-T-shirt-sold-via-website-at-a-time, but thanks for the donation and here’s your plug.
