Ban T-Shirts {Review and Giveaway}

I have a most opinionated son. Quietly opinionated. But really opinionated.

Ban T-shirts is the perfect store for him. They sell message t-shirts with political statements on them, a lot of them very controversial. All of them US made and sweatshop free.

Duncan Carson, the brain child of Ban T-shirts, is someone with whom I was impressed immediately. He has heart and compassion, and many of the t-shirts in his web store reflect his own personal beliefs and causes.

One common concern for both Duncan and my son is the extremely wasteful and barbaric practice of shark finning, so my son selected the Stop Shark Finning t-shirt for review.

He doesn’t have to say a word because his t-shirt does the talking. Brilliant!

And from a wash and wear perspective, this t-shirt rocks. It looks as good as it did when it arrived, has maintained its size without shrinking, and the color hasn’t faded a bit. Love it!

There are t-shirts for men and women, from environmental to political. It’s pretty much all here!

Ban-T shirts also plants one tree for every t-shirt sold. It’s a company that puts its money where its mouth is, something we all should be doing.
