I was on the hunt for patriotic clothing for this summer and stumbled upon green 3. Not only do they have some sweet Americana apparel, it is all made in the USA! Needless to say, I was pretty excited to see that. I cannot wait to show you what they sent me to review! [*]
About
green 3 is a company that creates stylish and sustainable apparel, accessories, and home goods. You will find that everything green 3 offers is made from organic cotton, reclaimed/upcycled materials, or recycled cotton – truly minimizing impact on the environment and resources. In 2011, 90% of the United States’ cotton crop was genetically modified, according to the USDA. [1] Organic cotton, however, is not genetically modified, nor is it grown using toxic fertilizers and pesticides.
Organic Cotton Shirts with Water-based Inks
The dyes and inks used on green 3 garments are water-based – no plastisol inks are used {which contain phthalates & PVC’s}. Only biodegradable detergents are used, no chlorine bleach or brighteners. The artwork featured on green 3 clothing is hand drawn or hand painted and exclusive to green 3. The result is a breathable, soft, and unique garment!
I was sent two items to show my American pride this summer {and knowing me, year round}.
Souvenir Map
This organic cotton shirt features a water based, earth friendly screen print. The shirt itself is pre-shrunk and fitted through the bust and shoulder with a more relaxed fit in the mid section. I always find that organic cotton feels *so* soft, too! Love it!
It is such a fun shirt! I love looking at all the icons for each state. So does Luv, she will spend time looking at each state and asks questions about the souvenirs. She immediately recognized The Space Needle and the apple representing our state. It is proving to be quite the conversation piece for us! Retail: $38
Flag Handwarmers
Even though the weather has warmed up, my hands are cold in the morning. These flag handwarmers are the perfect solution! They allow me to keep warm, but still have full use of my fingers {say, for typing or eating} without the awkwardness of gloves. They feature a generous sized thumb hole and easily slide on.
These patriotic handwarmers are made from 75% pre-consumer recycled cotton and 25% acrylic. These will definitely be coming with us on camping trips this summer and they’ll get plenty of use in autumn. Retail: $22

I do not know why but when I wear organic clothing it feels really good to my skin. I guess the chemicals affect me although I am not aware of having allergies.
Sandy VanHoey
Was just thinking along the lines of what Mary (above) said. I would love those handwarmers for my daughter in Michigan for the cold winters.
Amber
Very cute and fun – like something we could use in winter for sure.

i just bought a t-shirt made from organic cotton and it is the softest thing ever. i’m all for natural everything, not fond of what all those chemicals are doing to us in ways we don’t even know (and may not know for years). i like to support organic growers and companies, so thanks for the info.

I love the handwarmers! I need to get a pair because I am always suffering from what I call “mouse hand”… when my hand freezes because it’s exposed to the cold Maine air when I’m on my computer!

I love those hand warmers they are so cute
Kimberly
I love the hand warmers. My daughter has Raynaud’s Disease and her hands get so cold they turn pure white. She could use something like that which will keep her hands warm and allow her to use her fingers for texting.
Thanks for the post. 🙂
