T-shirts are a great way to promote your company or spread awareness about an idea you’re passionate about. While there are a lot of companies out there that make t-shirts, not many of them are sustainable or ethical. That’s where we come in.
Are you looking to order t-shirts for your business, club, or organization that align with your values? We’ve done the hard work and thoroughly researched four brands that make custom t-shirts that not only look great but that you can also wear proudly.

If you’re looking for blanks or you already have a printing solution in mind, then the Good Tee is the option for you. The Good Tee sells blank t-shirts in men’s, women’s, unisex, children’s, and babies options.

GOEX – Printed Custom Sustainable Shirts
Whether you’re looking for blank t-shirts or custom apparel, Kansas City based brand GOEX is a good place to look. If you buy from GOEX, you’ll be supporting workers in Haiti and Kansas City.
Fair pay is important to GOEX and anyone who works for them makes, on average, enough to support a family of six. GOEX is also one of the few companies to pass the Fair Trade Federation’s (FTF) rigorous screening and their blog details how they’re following the FTF’s nine principles.
Most GOEX t-shirts are made with eco-triblend, a fabric made up of cotton, recycled polyester, and rayon. GOEX repurposes approximately five plastic water bottles to make each shirt.
Takeaway: If you buy t-shirts from GOEX you’re helping workers in Haiti and Kansas City earn a livable wage, all while keeping production close to the US to minimize shipping.
Known Supply – Fair Trade Organic Merch
