Another Retailer Tries Green

While I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Zellers now has a line of eco-clothing consisting of men’s shirts and shorts made from materials such as bamboo and organic cotton, I was thrilled to discover that the bamboo/cotton golf shirts are both reasonably priced and incredibly comfortable!

The golf shirt that I purchased for $17.97 is made from 70% bamboo and 30% cotton . Due primarily to the bamboo, the fabric is super soft, almost like cashmere without the maintenance hassles or allergy concerns. Furthermore, apparently bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial helping to keep the garment ‘fresh’ all day long.

The only reason why I am not stocking up on these shirts is because they only have two colours – a wonderful deep green and a rather bland khaki. It would also be nice if they had this clothing for women, but then the price would be twice as much!

If you have a chance, I would encourage you to check out this new Eco-Choice product line. Even though purchasing products from major retailers flies in the face of supporting your neighbourhood merchants, the more that retailers realize there is a market for such items the more likely it is that they will become increasingly available.
