I’m doing research on Organic Clothing for an Ethics assignment and there are some stuff I need to find out. These are just introductory questions, though, for the history of the "green" product we’re assigned. There’s much more I’ll look for myself. I wanna cross-reference answers I get here with ones in other places. If possible, please state your sources.

My skin is irritated by non-organic fibers so even the sewing thread must be organic for it to be comfortable. I’ve had no luck finding anyone who does this.

‘Greenfibres’ are very good. All their clothes are made from organic material. I’ve tried to look at the stitching of some of mine, but it’s difficult to say if the sewing thread is organic, too. I would imagine it is because the garments are made of organic cotton. So I would think the cotton used to stitch them would be organic, too.

I’m thinking of designing my own organic/sustainable shirts and I want to know if there is a growing market for this company.

I would suggest you do a Porters 5-forces analysis or simply research the market. Retail is weak right now and the buying power of customers is weak. Specialty products like organic clothing have rarely been profitable because of the increased costs. This is the reason you don’t see many ethical leather stores.

I’ve been trying to go green, and I heard about clothes made from organic cotton.
What are some brands that make organic cotton clothing?

Try this: "…the five brands using the most organic cotton globally in 2005 are (in order by quantity): Nike (Oregon), Coop Switzerland and Patagonia (California), Otto (Germany), and Sam’s Club/Wal-mart (Arkansas).
