Not only do I not really understand why people are paying $20-$30 for plain colored t-shirts, but the company’s whole premise of being a sweatshop free company that respects workers is totally bunk. Here’s a great article dealing with business practices of American Apparel and its owner, Dov Charney.

Not to be confused with Dave Charney.

Sheesh, this guy is some sort of crazed freak, and the first 1/3rd of the article on the mob running the main clothing union, and extorting huge sums of money in “damages” when jobs went away, is just crazy. Makes me not want to buy any clothes…

You know what’s interesting though? American Apparel posted that knowmore article on its Web site. What does that tell you about the company? The company does respect its workers, pays them well - go visit the factory - they have an open door policy. At least they manufacture in the US - in this day and age, you gotta be crazy to do that and pay your workers well!! Finally, their product is sublime. But I can’t expect everyone to understand that.
