Quote:I realise the whole "hypocricy" about it, but since I have to contribute to capitalism in order to stay clothed, I figure my clothes may as well express my beliefs.
the laundry basket my wife has designated as "my clothes" (vs the 4 baskets, and 2 closets that are her clothes :P) are basically made up of those solid color t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and sweaters you can get at target for $5 - $8 - $15 in a bunch of different colors.
Also, to everyone out there first week of Oct every year you can buy jeans for 10-15 a pair at sears and JCPenny because they're trying like hell to get them off the shelf for the season. So Stock up then... and forget about it for awhile.
I do need to cloth myself, and I have little choice but to shop in big box stores, but I don't have to give them a lot of money, and I don't have to become a billboard for their brand while doing so.

There is a really cheap way to screen-print your shirts using nylons, glue, and fabric ink. Works well for simple one color designs... here is a tutorial with step by step photos and finished results.
