So, the wall was selling shirts for insanely cheap prices and I do not understand where they are making a profit.

I got a shirt which should cost 8 dollars for 2.5 and I don’t know if I can just wear them without concern.

Are cheap shirts safe to wear? Idk do they use chemicals which are bad for me? They made this insanely cheap and I don’t know what gives! It all says 100% cotton and its from a trusted brand but the mystery of the price still remains. I need to know before loading up on these things.

Also, bonus question, is white coloring agent more or less harmful than other colors? (Assume the most frequently used coloring agents)

    Depends on your budget, really. Is it worth you to get basically ‘disposable’ shirts?

    I have had some organic cotton Tshirts last me 13+ years now and they still look great/color, etc. They cost at the time 15$ or: a little over 1$ per year.

    I just loaded up on some shirts from Uniqlo because of a comment a friend made on their clothing that they last a long time (10+ yrs)-and she has way better judgement in clothing than I do…for sure. So there basic T is 10€, but I got a deal on the first order through their website & got 10 for 6.50€each.

    That being said, I would load up on these and have them in stock at home and get a much use out of them as I could (and when they wear down they’re hobby/work/outdoor etc.)…

    Edit: wash in cold water, do not use fabric softeners, and only 1-2 T of detergent, line dry if you can
