The Bite:

Good. Next up: Examine your tag - it'll tell you what your clothes are made of. We've hand-selected casual sustainable duds that'll keep you lookin' fly, since just remembering to XYZ isn't cutting it anymore.

The Benefits:

Giving 'em an eyeful. The best kind of eyeful: your fashionable self.
No panic since it's organic. Nonorganic cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop. (It takes 1/3 lb of chems to make one T-shirt.)

Personally Speaking:

In addition to the options below, we've spied great used men's apparel options at Buffalo Exchange, where Toshio swaps his unwanted clothes for credit (sadly, the buyers usually turn Jenifer's away).

Wanna Try:

Gilded Age Greenwich Henley - deconstructed organic-cotton long-sleeve shirt from a company that makes all of its clothes on antique looms in the United States ($298).
Edun Brando Shirt - organic-cotton, fitted, military-style button-up with epaulettes and two front pockets ($140).
Sameunderneath Five Pocket Pant - bamboo and cotton blend makes for some supercomfy, superwearable bottoms ($120).
Triko Lares Top - one of the first eco-conscious streetwear companies offers this stylee shirt with sustainable tagua buttons ($85).
Turk + Taylor T-Shirts - hipster designs on organic cotton ($46).
Levi Strauss Signature Slim Jeans - classic and affordable organic-cotton jeans ($35).
Etsy - one-of-a-kind pieces direct from designers, some made using organic and reclaimed materials.

Cocktail Fact

When a Member of Parliament informed Winston Churchill that his fly was down at a public event, Churchill responded, "Do not concern yourself too much about that, dead birds never fly from their nest."

Bang For The Bite

You might go broke stocking your wardrobe...but if 10,000 Biters choose an organic pair of jeans instead of a nonorganic pair, we'll avert the weight of 67 Biter boys in pesticides.
