Got Better Cotton?
Got Better Cotton?
Actual label text: “By choosing our cotton products, you’re supporting Walmart’s investment in Better Cotton’s mission. “This product is sourced via a system of mass balance and therefore may not contain Better Cotton.” I’m not surprised to discover a page about Better Cotton and greenwashing.

I hope that those who are planning to boycott Carhartt because of the company’s stand on vaccination will soon need to boycott all consumer goods.

Cargo-shorts debate
Cargo-shorts debate
From The Wall Street Journal: “Relationships around the country are being tested by cargo shorts, loosely cut shorts with large pockets sewn onto the sides. Men who love them say they’re comfortable and practical for summer. Detractors​ say they’ve been out of style for years, deriding them as bulky, uncool and just flat-out ugly.”

Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity
“The studio portrait gives way to what appears to be a moment of everyday life (titles often carry a year): someone is reading a newspaper, someone is trying on a hat.”
