Kim Gee-Yang, Korea’s first “plus size” model?

In addition to LA, Kim has done runway shows in Miami and the Caribbean. She’s also been a finalist in photo contests for Benetton and American Apparel, but she says no Korean fashion shows or magazines will hire her.

So, she started her own magazine that features plus size models.

It’s called 66100 (66 and 100 are the maximum sizes in centimeters, respectively, for women and men’s clothing sold in Korean retail stores. Kim takes a size 88 (she says she wears an American size 8).

On the cover of the latest issue, Kim is clutching a chunk of fried pig’s feet with her manicured fingertips. The picture goes with the feature article, “Innocent Pleasure” — Kim writes that you shouldn’t feel guilty for eating what you like.

At Wendy's recently I heard a guy ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)

This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50. The list is evolving and many chains are independently operated so discounts may vary at participating locations only.

This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too.

In 1971, they incorporated the booming business under the name "Plain Jane" which later became ESPRIT, one of the hottest and most successful clothing companies of the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's.From the early days running out of the Tompkins' apartment in San Francisco, Douglas Tompkins titled himself "image director", overseeing all aspects of the company's image, from store design to catalog layout, while his wife served as design director. In 1984 the role of art director was taken up by Japanese designer Tamotsu Yagi. All facets of design were of primary importance to ESPRIT. From the iconic logo design by John Casado (who aslo designed the first Apple Macintosh Computer logo and album covers for the Doobie Brothers) to the ESPRIT store and office interiors by Ettore Sottsass (of Memphis Design Group and Sottsass Associates) to the fashion campaign photography of Oliviero Toscani (also well-known for his controversial campaigns for Benetton, work with Fiorucci, and co-founder of Colors magazine), ESPRIT was a total design vision of the 1980's .

in 2011 i came so close to being an american apparel employee but god intervened in order to save  me from myself lol. basically i did the whole hiring process, they took my photo to send to head office (fucking insane they cld ever get away w this), i went in for my first shift. my town was rly small n the AA was like the central hub of our hipster clique. so i get there n everyones all tight w eachother, theres this girl i knew from highschool training me. it was the middle of july so she asked the manager if we cld run to the store to get popsicles for everyone. im just kinda following her lead since she’s training me. so we go the store briefly then carry on working. the next day i get a call from the manager saying this job isnt going to work out for me cus i was “goofing off” too much. i was DEVASTATED. i apologized and like,begged the manager to give me another chance cus i was just following the trainer girl around. & it was the same manager who permitted us to get the popsicles in th first place?. but she was acting as if i committed this irredeemable offense. still dont kno what was the actual petty reason she decided to fire me but im sooo glad she did lol. cus over the course of the next few years everyone who worked there developed the worst coke habits to the point that i cldnt even casually hang w any of them anymore. it was DARK, it was like some line cook shit, and for what ??? a minimalism retail store? only in retrospect can i see that if i worked there  , shit coulda gone so far south for me. idk if i wouldA developed a coke habit necessarily cus i never understood the point of cocaine but. at the very least i wldve absorbed so much psychic damage by proxy

Checks this out senoirs .

I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently,I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)

Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too.

this incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and howsome of them start at the young age of 50 .

This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.

Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55 .

If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it for FREE.

Not only are Leicestershire police focusing on this when that area is dealing with actual hate crimes but they are using photos of a model in the advertising might not be getting paid.

Leicestershire Police are under fire for a Twitter post in which they appear to suggest that using an incorrect name for a trans-identified individual could be reported as a “hate crime.”

On October 8, Leicestershire Police’s Stay Safe Twitter account launched a social media campaign advertising Stamp It Out, an anti-hate resource website which provides information on the laws surrounding hate crimes in the area.

Stay Safe, a combined account for the force’s Crime Reduction Officers and Hate Crime Officer, was encouraging social media users to utilize Stamp It Out’s online reporting system in the event they experienced a hate crime.

The campaign’s Twitter posts, of which there were 7 in total, all include a black-and-white graphic with a photo of a person, and a quote in which they described an experience being targeted on the basis of their identity or appearance.

But one of the posts in particular has gone viral for appearing to suggest that calling a transgender person by a non-preferred name would be considered a reportable hate crime.

The graphic featured a photo of a man with long, blond hair, and a quote which read: “I get called by my previous male name on purpose, but that’s not who I am. it can be really hurtful, especially when it’s just seen as a joke.” The quote and photo were attributed to “Jane, 57” of Hinckley. 

Despite purporting to depict a real member of the community, “Jane” is in fact a stock image model who has appeared in dozens of licensable photos across popular stock image websites.

The model was also featured in a “body positive” lingerie campaign in 2015 for Lane Bryant, an American women’s apparel and intimates specialty retailer focusing on plus-size clothing. 

The photos used by Leicestershire Police were taken from a series shot by Arizona-based photographer Anna Griessel. It is unlikely that the model was aware of their likeness being utilized by Leicestershire Police for the campaign, as the rights to stock photos are usually purchased through third-parties.

As of this article’s writing, Leicestershire Police’s post featuring “Jane” has wracked up over 3,000 overwhelmingly negative replies, compared to just 267 ‘likes,’ many of which were ironic. 

Many users in the United Kingdom pointed out that Leicester has seen a massive surge in crime recently, and that the force’s campaign appears to demonstrate misplaced priorities. 

“Leicester has just seen unprecedented unrest and violence, including rioting and looting, on its streets, and there have been numerous reports of sexual assault in the county this year. Fortunately, the police are on the case,” popular UK-based information service @ripx4nutmeg wrote sarcastically.

“You will not compel my speech. Do your real job. 3 women a week in the UK are murdered by men not to mention countless rapes and attacks. Where’s your publicity campaign for them and their children?” User@joolzdenby wrote, referencing femicide statistics which show one woman dies by domestic violence every three days in the United Kingdom.

Responding directly to Leicestershire Police, police watchdog We Are Fair Cop asked: “where is the hate crime here, please?”

Speaking to Reduxx, Dr. Kate Coleman of Keep Prisons Single Sex pointed out that what Leicestershire Police were suggesting was a criminal offense — “deadnaming” a transgender person — was in fact not a legal matter at all.

“A hate crime is a normal crime plus an aggregator. In this case, it would be hostility on the basis of transgender identity,” Dr. Coleman said. “But where is the crime in the example Leicestershire gives There is no crime. So this cannot be a hate crime.”

Coleman is the director of Keep Prisons Single Sex(KPSS), a campaign group focused on advocating for prisons to be segregated by sex, not self-declared gender identity. KPSS is vocal about the rights of women in the UK legal system, and has recently launched a crowdfunder to assist with their activism efforts.

Coleman slammed Leicestershire Police for their apparent lack of insight into the laws they were purporting to enforce, noting that it was a widespread issue in the United Kingdom. She speculated the cause may be that the police have become “institutionally captured” by gender ideology or its proponents.

“Police forces appear to be consistently unaware that in order for a hate crime to be reported, an actual crime must have been committed,” she said. “Hurting someone’s feelings, offending them, upsetting them or making them cry are not crimes. Yet the police are stating that they appear to be willing to act as if they are.”

Despite “misgendering” and “deadnaming” not being crimes in the United Kingdom, multiple women have been arrested or threatened with arrest on those grounds.

In 2019, a mother in Hertfordshire was arrested in front of her children and held for over 7 hours after being reported for “misgendering” a man who identified as a woman on Twitter. Kate Scottow’s conviction was ultimately overturned on appeal the next year, but was just one of many similar cases that would emerge. 

Coleman expresses cautious optimism for the state of free speech rights in the United Kingdom, but stresses that many women are still concerned about being arrested and possibly charged for expressing factually accurate statements related to biology or gender ideology.

“I firmly believe that our determination to fight on will continue. Each day more people, men as well as women, realize the extent of this threat to freedom of speech. I am optimistic, but it would not surprise me if police forces double-down before things improve.”

The backlash against Leicestershire Police comes just weeks after a similar incident in Sussex. 

The Sussex Police force came under fire after a series of posts cautioning Twitter users who were “misgendering” a serial pedophile named in one of their case updates. Taken by many to be a thinly-veiled threat of criminalization, some users asked if they could be charged if they continued to refer to the predator as a “man.” Sussex Police replied to those users with a link to their website outlining the nature of a hate crime, and encouraging people to ensure their “gender critical views” were “not targeted at an individual.”

Sussex Police ultimately retracted the tweets and apologized after widespread outrage.

This what the cops should be focusing on

Gibson Garage London -The Ultimate Guitar Experience- To Open in Historic London, Early 2024

Gibson, the iconic and leading American instrument brand, has shaped sound across generations and genres of music, becoming one of the most relevant, played, and loved guitar brands around the world. Gibson is proud to announce it will officially open a new Gibson Garage in London. The Gibson Garage is the ultimate guitar experience and destination for music lovers across the globe, and the place to explore Gibson’s 130-year music history. The Gibson Garage London marks the first-ever Gibson flagship store outside of the U.S. and follows the wildly successful opening of the Gibson Garage Nashville.

Cesar Gueikian, Gibson President and CEO, states, “When we first began designing the Gibson Garage, our global flagship, we asked ourselves, ‘What do we want our fans to experience when walking into Gibson?’ We imagined an immersive dream space where fans walk in and say, ‘Wow, this is the place that Gibson should have always had!’ The Garage we built in Nashville is an exciting place to experience Gibson music and lifestyle through instruments, sound, media, and apparel. The Garage is designed to be a part of the local music community with a live stage featuring performances and events from icons and emerging artists on any given day of the week. The Gibson Garage in Nashville has had an extraordinary impact on the music scene in addition to becoming a global music destination and we are thrilled to bring the Garage to London. As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London has always been an influential musical ecosystem and became an obvious choice of where to open our next Gibson Garage.”

Opening in early 2024, and located in Historic London just off Oxford Street, the Gibson Garage London will feature 4,500 square feet of retail space. Inside the Gibson Garage, visitors can plug-in and play more than 300 electric and acoustic guitars from Gibson Custom Shop to Epiphone, explore the entire collection of MESA/Boogie amplifiers, Maestro pedals, and more.

At the Gibson Garage, music lovers will experience live performances, can design a dream Made-to-Measure guitar in the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab, catch a live taping of one of the award-winning Gibson TV series, and enjoy captivating, interactive storytelling and memorabilia inside the historic space. Fans can play all things Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, MESA/Boogie, and Maestro, try out the full line of electric and acoustic guitars, and take a piece of history home with one-of-a-kind limited edition guitars, gear and accessories, as well as exclusive apparel collaborations. Whether a seasoned professional musician, a casual guitar player, a beginner, or simply a music fan, the Gibson Garage is open to all, and will be a must-see destination in central London.

Expect an announcement in the coming months regarding the opening of the new Gibson Garage London.

From its humble beginnings as a rubber shoe company to its meteoric rise as a global fashion icon, Converse has consistently delivered sneakers that transcend mere footwear, becoming cultural symbols that embody the spirit of individuality and self-expression.The Genesis of Converse: A Journey of Innovation and AdaptabilityConverse’s story began in Malden, Massachusetts, where Marquis Mills Converse founded the Converse Rubber Shoe Company. Initially producing rubber galoshes and other utilitarian footwear, Converse soon recognized the potential for a more versatile and stylish sneaker. In 1917, the company introduced the Converse All-Star, a high-top canvas sneaker with a vulcanized rubber sole, forever changing the landscape of footwear.Marquis Mills Converse- Founder, ConverseThe All-Star, later renamed the Chuck Taylor All-Star, quickly gained popularity among basketball players, including the iconic player Chuck Taylor himself, who became an advocate for the brand and helped popularize it among athletes and non-athletes alike.A Sneaker for the Masses: A Symbol of CountercultureThe Converse All-Star transcended its athletic roots to become a cultural phenomenon, embraced by generations of individuals who valued its simplicity, comfort, and enduring style. The sneaker’s clean lines, unassuming design, and versatility made it a blank canvas for self-expression, allowing individuals to customize and personalize their shoes to reflect their unique identities.From rebellious youth subcultures to mainstream fashion trends, the Converse All-Star has been adopted by individuals from all walks of life, becoming a symbol of individuality, self-expression, and a defiant spirit. Its timeless design and adaptability have made it a staple in wardrobes worldwide, transcending cultural boundaries and generations.Acquired by Nike, Maintained by FansConverse is currently a subsidiary of Nike, Inc.

Marketing Strategies of ConverseIn the ever-evolving landscape of global fashion and footwear, Converse stands as a timeless icon with a legacy dating back to 1917. Renowned for its emblematic Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, the brand has not only survived but thrived through the decades by consistently adapting its marketing strategies to resonate with a diverse and dynamic consumer base. From strategic collaborations with influencers and artists to a robust social media presence, Converse’s marketing playbook is a fascinating study in brand evolution and staying power. In this piece, we delve into the intricacies of Converse’s marketing strategies, exploring how the brand continues to capture hearts and minds while navigating the ever-shifting currents of contemporary culture.

1. Brand Positioning

Brand positioning is a crucial marketing strategy for Converse, as it helps the brand to differentiate itself from competitors and establish a unique identity in the minds of its target audience. Converse positions itself as a brand that celebrates individuality, creativity, and self-expression. The brand’s mission is to inspire people to embrace their uniqueness and express themselves authentically through its products.To achieve this positioning, Converse focuses on creating products that stand out from the crowd. Its iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, for instance, have remained largely unchanged since their introduction in 1917. 

The brand’s decision to retain the classic design is deliberate, as it allows consumers to customize the shoes with their own personal touches, such as colorful laces or patches. This customization option enables individuals to express their distinctiveness and creativity, which aligns with Converse’s brand values.Converse also communicates its brand positioning through its marketing campaigns. The brand often partners with influential figures in music, art, and fashion to showcase how its products can be incorporated into diverse lifestyles and cultures. For example, Converse has collaborated with hip-hop artist Tyler, the Creator and fashion designer Virgil Abloh to create limited-edition sneakers that blend streetwear with high-fashion. These collaborations not only generate buzz around the brand but also illustrate how Converse supports creativity and individuality. By leveraging user-generated content and partnering with influential figures, Converse reinforces its brand positioning and establishes a strong connection with its target audience.Tyler the Creator and Converse Collab On A Sneaker CollectionVirgil Abloh and Converse Collaborate on Limited Edition Sneaker

2. Target Audience

Target audience is a crucial aspect of Converse’s marketing strategy. The brand identified its primary target audience as teenagers and young adults aged between 15 and 30 who are interested in fashion, music, art, and culture. This age group is particularly drawn to Converse’s iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, which have become a staple in youth culture.To effectively target this audience, Converse employs a variety of marketing tactics. The brand recognizes that young people are heavily influenced by social media, so it invests significantly in digital marketing efforts. Converse creates engaging content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, featuring young influencers and ambassadors who embody the brand’s spirit of individuality and self-expression. This helps to increase brand awareness and credibility among the target audience.Converse Social Media PostAdditionally, Converse partners with popular music and arts festivals, such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, to reach its target audience. At these events, the brand sets up interactive installations and offers limited-edition sneakers, allowing attendees to experience the brand firsthand. Converse also collaborates with influential artists, musicians, and designers to create co-branded products that appeal to its target audience’s interest in fashion and creativity. By implementing these targeted marketing strategies, Converse successfully connects with its desired audience and solidifies its position as a beloved youth culture brand.

3. Product Innovation

Product innovation is a vital component of Converse’s marketing strategy. The brand continuously introduces new and updated versions of its iconic Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers to keep up with the evolving tastes and preferences of its target audience. Converse understands that its customers crave novelty and exclusivity, so it regularly releases limited-edition collections and collaborations with renowned artists, musicians, and fashion designers. These collaborations not only generate buzz around the brand but also allow Converse to tap into new markets and demographics.Customized Air Jordan ConverseOne of the ways Converse drives product innovation is by experimenting with new materials and technologies. The brand has introduced sneakers made from sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic, and has also incorporated advanced technology, like Nike Flyknit, into its designs. This approach not only appeals to environmentally conscious consumers but also caters to those seeking performance-oriented footwear. Moreover, Converse’s willingness to take risks with bold, eye-catching designs has helped the brand maintain its relevance in the ever-changing landscape of youth culture.Another significant aspect of Converse’s product innovation strategy is its commitment to customization. The brand offers a wide range of colors, patterns, and materials for customers to choose from, allowing them to personalize their sneakers according to their individual style. Furthermore, Converse has launched initiatives like the “Design Your own Custom Shoes” platform, which enables customers to design their own sneakers from scratch. By providing consumers with the tools to express their creativity, Converse fosters a deep emotional connection between its customers and the brand, leading to increased brand loyalty and advocacy.Converse Customization Platform

4. Influencer Collaboration

sInfluencer collaborations play a significant role in Converse’s marketing strategy. The brand partners with influential individuals in various fields, such as music, art, fashion, and sports, to showcase its products and reach a wider audience. These collaborations help Converse tap into new markets and demographics, while also increasing brand awareness and credibility.Converse’s influencer collaborations are carefully curated to ensure that they align with the brand’s values and target audience. For instance, the brand has worked with popular musicians like  Metalicca band, who have a large following among young people and are known for their unique style and creativity. Similarly, Converse has partnered with fashion designers like Virgil Abloh and Rick Owens, who have a strong reputation in the fashion world and can help the brand reach a more stylish and trendy audience.The brand has also collaborated with Sacai which has been recognized and respected for its influence on luxury fashion since the brand’s 1999 inception. Created by Chitose Abe, Sacai has also collaborated with Nike over the years experimenting a bit with Nike’s low-top and high-top sneakers (The Blazer 77s are similar to Converse’ in terms of design.) Sacai and Converse dropped a progressive silhouette that reflected Japanese luxury streetwear beautifully, while still staying true to Converse’s simple casual style.AC/DC & Metallica x Converse Chuck TaylorThe collaborations are often structured around limited-edition product releases, with the influencer partner helping to design and promote the product. This creates a sense of exclusivity and hype around the product, driving demand and encouraging customers to buy the product before it sells out. Additionally, the influencer collaborations help Converse tell stories about its brand and products, highlighting the quality, craftsmanship, and history behind the sneakers. By working with influencers who share the brand’s values and aesthetic, Converse can amplify its message and reach a larger audience, ultimately driving sales and strengthening its position in the market.

5. Content Marketing

Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach that Converse utilizes to attract and engage its target audience. The brand focuses on creating valuable, relevant, and consistent content that resonates with its audience and aligns with its brand messaging. Converse’s content marketing efforts include blog posts, videos, social media posts, and influencer collaborations.The brand’s content marketing strategy is built around its brand pillars of creativity, self-expression, and youth culture. Converse creates content that inspires and educates its audience, while also showcasing its products in a subtle yet effective manner. For example, the brand might create a video series that features up-and-coming artists sharing their creative processes, or a blog post that highlights the best ways to customize Converse sneakers. By doing so, Converse is able to establish a strong emotional connection with its audience and position itself as a thought leader in the youth culture space.Converse’s content marketing efforts also help to drive traffic to its website, increase brand awareness, and ultimately drive sales. The brand’s content is designed to be shareable and easily accessible across multiple platforms, which helps to extend its reach and engagement. Additionally, Converse’s content marketing strategy is closely tied to its SEO efforts, ensuring that the brand’s content is optimized for search engines and can be easily discovered by its target audience. Overall, Converse’s content marketing strategy is a critical component of its overall marketing plan, helping the brand to build a strong relationship with its audience and stay top of mind in the competitive footwear industry.

6. Retail Experience

Retail experience is a key marketing strategy for Converse, as the brand aims to create an immersive and engaging environment for its customers. Converse stores are designed to reflect the brand’s heritage and personality, with features such as exposed brick walls, vintage advertisements, and iconic Converse imagery. The stores also offer a unique retail experience, with interactive displays and installations that encourage customers to explore and interact with the products. For example, customers can try on shoes in a specially designed “Shoe Salon,” where they can see themselves in a mirror surrounded by Converse’s latest styles.In addition to its physical stores, Converse also creates pop-up shops and temporary retail experiences that bring the brand’s personality and style to life in unexpected ways. These pop-ups often feature exclusive products, live performances, and other surprises that create a memorable experience for customers. For example, Converse recently opened a pop-up shop in New York City that featured a customization station where customers could design their own shoes, as well as a photo booth and a live DJ set. This type of experiential retail helps to create a strong bond between the customer and the brand, and reinforces Converse’s position as a leader in the youth culture and streetwear spaces.Converse Pop up Store in New York Customization Desk at the Pop-Up ShopCustomization Desk at the Pop-Up ShopFinally, Converse also uses its retail experience to communicate its brand values and storytelling. The stores feature visual merchandising and display elements that highlight the brand’s history, cultural connections, and commitment to creativity and self-expression. For example, Converse may display vintage advertisements or photographs that showcase the brand’s rich heritage, or create window displays that feature local artists or musicians who embody the Converse spirit. By immersing customers in the brand’s world and values, Converse creates a deeper emotional connection that goes beyond simply selling shoes. This approach helps to build brand loyalty and advocacy, and reinforces Converse’s status as a cultural icon.

7. Global Reach

Global reach is a marketing strategy that Converse employs to expand its presence and reach a broader audience worldwide. The brand has a strong global presence, with products available in over 120 countries and a network of distributors and retailers that spans across six continents. Converse’s global reach strategy involves adapting its marketing messages and campaigns to resonate with local cultures and communities, while still maintaining a consistent brand voice and image.To execute this strategy, Converse works with local influencers, celebrities, and artists to create culturally relevant content and experiences that resonate with the brand’s target audience. For example, the brand has collaborated with Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons to create limited-edition sneakers that blend traditional Japanese design with Converse’s signature style. Converse has also partnered with Indian actress and singer Priyanka Chopra Jonas to launch a line of sneakers inspired by Indian culture. By tailoring its marketing efforts to local markets, Converse is able to build a strong brand identity that transcends borders and connects with consumers from different backgrounds and cultures.Comme des Garcons Play x Converse Chuck Taylor 1970sAs we wrap up our exploration of Converse’s marketing strategies, it becomes evident that the brand’s enduring success lies in its ability to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation.

OK so ive told this story before but im going to go into more detail… the only time ive ever been to an American Apparel store was when i was 14 and in Las Vegas and they had a clearance section and me and this middle aged mom reached for a pair of booty athletic shorts at the same time and she snatched them away and had all of her children try the pair on in front of me when i was waiting in line at the dressing room than turned to me and went “they don’t look good on any of my kids here u go” and i went into the dressing room and tried them on and came out to show my mom and she was standing outside like waiting for me as well and goes “they look great on you! :)” in a weird condescending way and IDK man that was one of the strangest retail store encounters ive ever had fr fr like i almost got into a fight with a mom when i was barely a teenager over a pair of clearance AA athletic shorts…. I still have them by the way and she was definitely lying to me bc they look awful on me but i use them for pjs

[aeide-thea]

i did not engage with black friday but the absolutely relentless barrage of emails from various retailers about their sales! sales! sales! has had me thinking a bunch abt Shopping nonetheless

and like. there are a lot of things to be said on that front but specifically at the moment i'm frustrated with the way in which my own human failings (ADHD mainly) and also reqs/prefs make it difficult to be as good about things i care abt as i'd like—which frankly is a statement that's true far beyond the scope of this post, lol, but specifically i'm thinking abt like [cut for length]:

i've been contemplating microplastics with dread/frustration/shame and wanting to move towards natural fibers, which also just feel and perform better—but the reality afaict from my reading of reviews is that with actual t-shirt-thin 100% merino,¹ even if it says it's machine-washable, people find that it develops holes within, like, one season of wear, if not significantly sooner? which is obviously not even a little bit sustainable financially, never mind the other costs (shipping emissions, etc) of reordering clothing that often. so basically you either have to accept some percentage of reinforcing nylon in the garment, which means you're still creating microplastics when you go to wash it, or you have to handwash all your shirts, which—i've met myself. that just isn't realistically possible for me. i'm like multiple weeks overdue for doing a Big Wash but i keep ADHD-ing my way past the point in the day that i'd want to have started the process by, so it keeps getting put off, and that's with in-house washer/dryer access—imagine upping the level of difficulty by adding in handwashing! could Not be me.

so ultimately where i end up is that like, in buying corespun merino i'm improving my textural/wicking/temp reg/etc experience, so i do benefit, but the environment isn't benefiting nearly as much as i'd like, although i suppose washing a garment that's like 13% plastic is probably still not-insignificantly better than washing one that's 100% plastic, especially if the anti-stink/anti-wrinkle properties of merino pan out enough that i can actually wash the garment less often? but like. not nearly as gratifying as achieving 100% natural fiber, 0% microplastics. :/

(it's possible merino-tencel blends are hardier? so that might be worth looking into. but also i have very particular size/style/gender prefs/needs that really narrow the field of possibilities, is the thing—wanting to wear a smaller-than-standard men's size rather than a more common women's size, basically—and idk how many merino-tencel blends (if any) fit within the narrow band that leaves for me. [it's maybe possible a men's S could be dryer-shrunk enough to function as an XS, but that sounds (a) more possible with 100% merino than with a blend and (b) like an experiment too expensive to risk having fail.])

⸻ ¹ i do have one (1) fancy merino hoodie i bought years ago as an Investment Piece that's like, 100% merino machine-knit that's fleecy inside—sort of like american apparel california fleece except wool?—and is ime entirely machine-wash friendly: practical attractive impeccable garment‚ after years of amortization price almost reasonable‚ no notes. but i think it's the thickness of the fabric that makes that possible—t-shirts you want to be much thinner‚ and thinness → tearing.
