This is amazeballs for purposes not originally intended. It tends to be all about money. Apply the above rule to all types of threads, labor, and yes, you guessed it, food and its awful trajectory from the source to the palm of your hands. We really should learn more about why things are the way they are instead of blindly accepting it.
Oh my, it looks like we’ve stirred some controversy with our recent Making Of A Designer T-shirt infographic. At Well Spent, there’s an interesting debate underway among a group of respected retailers. This graphic was never intended as an attack on retailers (we love beautiful stores too), but an illustration of the costs behind making our T-shirts and how — when you’re online only — you can cut the markup expense associated with having locations.
For those interested: Our T-shirts are cut, sewn, and dyed in Los Angeles, and the infographic reflects those made-in-LA numbers. We would have loved to weigh in, and are always happy to answer questions.
