    I’ve had a couple of t shirts through the years where the fabric itself seems to have been dyed into an image instead of just being screen printed on. I get it obviously must be more expensive, but it holds up amazingly and I wish more places out there did this.

      I once bought some cheap-ass knockoff merch shirt that was printed like that. And shit cost, like, five bucks.

      (In retrospect, I’m not proud of buying products of likely slave labor, but what’s done is done.)

        There is slave labor at aome point in pretty much every product you use. The cotton used for your shirt, the cocoa in your chocolate bar, the strawberry you had in your salad today, all likely had forced labor to some degree. Even the cartoon you watched last night might have been animated bu some korean child.
