    fair made as in fair trade, or equitable trade

    most clothing are made in china ..notwithstanding the union made labels in some of them ...most clothing ,the closest they will see the union is when they are packaged ............unless you make your own clothes there is no guarantee that any part of it wasn't made in a sweatshop

    No, I want to pay fair prices. You can get sweat free clothes without paying 200 dollars for an outfit.

    Roach-o-Rama in the Market sells Hemp Clothing, which I believe is Sweatshop free, but I could be wrong.

    You may also want to check out Carrot Common (a "mall" on the Danforth, west of Chester), I know they have a few clothing stores that at the very least promote eco-friendly fabrics. I have a feeling they're expensive though.

    I know Carrot Common, I thought it was just for food? I'll have to check it out, even though its on the opposite side of the city for me.

    They have 2 clothing stores I think, if not 2 at least 1 for sure.

    If hemp clothing is your thing, there are a couple places east of Queen and Broadview that sell hemp clothing.

    One Tribe Hemp Cafe - Some clothing, not a lot.
    Cladestine - Mostly clothing
