“The most responsible way for a consumer and a good citizen to buy clothes is to buy used.”
–Patagonia clothing company founder Yvon Chouinard
Teecycle believes that your T-shirt says a lot about you, whether you know it or not.
When you buy off a rack in a retail chain, it says you have limited imagination, support giant corporate profits and have thousands of replicas. Who wants that?
When you own a Teecycle shirt, it says you have a unique one-of-a-kind item of clothing. It also says you care about the environment by keeping a perfectly usable item out of the landfill.
Each Teecycle shirt is hand-selected from rummage sales, thrift stores or friend’s closets. Just not a rack in a nondescript department store.
Your purchase also supports the River Revitalization Foundation. $1 of each sale is donated to restore urban river trails and waterways in the Milwaukee area.

I like the smiley faces that you have in the upper right of the screen.

How can I get daily updates on teeshirts being offered?

Well, I’m glad you asked that, Rob. You can sign up for daily email updates that sends you the latest new (used) shirt. You can sign up here: http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1888804&loc=en_US

I think it would be great to screen the tcycle logo on bottem edge or maybe at the nape of the neck of your stuff before you ship out! I am on the look out for “the one…” can’t wait.

Maybe you do tag your stuff already… like I said I haven’t found ‘the one’ to know!
