Must Watch: NPR and Planet Money Make a T-Shirt

You may know our designer, Russ Gossett works for NPR in Boston. A few months back there was a ton of buzz in the office around this Planet Money story. The idea was simple: Make a T-Shirt.  The outcome: An amazing journey told only the way NPR and Planet Money can.

NPR and Planet money produced this short 5-part series about what truly goes into making a t-shirt from start to finish. And that doesn't just mean taking a blank t-shirt and printing it, that means every aspect from growing and harvesting cotton to running it through various machines to make yarn then fabric, followed by constructing the shirts by hand and shipping to the US.

While the construction of the shirts in impoverished countries is a reality that is hard to watch, there are upsides to the entire venture. We recommend watching all of them because in the end we're all responsible for a small part of the process. In the end, it is eye-opening to see the process to get to the point where we can finally put our touches to the fabric.

AllCanes & Bubucheek: Exclusive Hurricanes Big b.

The only place you can get a Miami Big b. Tee is at the AllCanes store in Coral Gables, FL or click here to buy directly from their online shop!

What an incredible feeling to have something I've worked hard establishing being featured in a store I grew up running around in looking through the coolest Canes gear around.  I have fond memories looking through all the UM apparel as my family and I stopped by the store before checking out a Canes baseball game.  If you're familiar with the south Florida area, then you know how iconic this store is and to be showcased in it is truly an honor.
