2 Comments The Woolworths Organic Cotton White T-Shirt

Article written by the awesome Sean Lloyd on the 18 Nov 2008

I must be quite honest here because I’d never lie to you. Unless I was cheating on you and also writing for another website in addition to SLXS, then I would lie. I know you only want me to write for YOU, you are quite possessive over this relationship! To be honest I have written for other websites, but I only banged the secretaries of those websites, so it doesn’t count.

What the hell am I saying? I’m sorry, but this Cafe Culture is just so good!

So I have been meaning to tell you guys (Yeah this is a guys article) about my favourite t-shirt in the whole wide world. It’s a widely known fact in Cape Town that I pretty much exclusively wear white t-shirts all year round. Some people think I am dirty because I appear (You like that word? Feel free to use it, I just came up with it now) to wear the same t-shirt every day. In all honesty, all I own is white t-shirts. I’ve tried black, but it just doesn’t suit me as well.

The reason I wear white t-shirts every day is that I never have to choose a shirt, I just thrown on white and it goes with anything. I know it may seem boring, but white t-shirts are classics. James Dean wore it and everyone who is cool wears a white t-shirt. Like me! Cough…cough…splutter…

I stumbled into Woolworths a few months ago, drunk out of my mind looking for a roast chicken and I happened to spot, in the corner of my peripheral field (Shit I’m a good writer), a whole HOST (No, I’m an amazing writer) of white t-shirts, with a price tag of a mere R50. I thought this must surely be a joke, because on further inspection the t-shirts were made of 100% Organic Cotton.

Woolworth Organic Cotton T-shirt

I always thought organic was more expensive, but these weren’t, they weren’t! Anyway, I only weigh 70kg’s (But I’m ripped like a bee-atch) so I take the small and it fits…like a glove!

Anyway a white t-shirt paired with jeans and boots always makes you look like a rockstar and chicks dig rockstars.

Even more astonishing is the fact that it’s organic cotton so you get the rockstar vibe without killing the planet. Chicks dig guys who can save the planet but still give them a good rogering in the back seat of the limo on the way home.

What? Nothing to see here.

But seriously, according to this link, in India, home to over one third of the worlds cotton farmers, cotton accounts for 54% of all pesticides used annually despite occupying just 5% of land under crops.

So going organic makes sense!

The Woolworths organic cotton t-shirts are available in a whole host of colours, but white is the colour to go for.

So I went out and bought one or two white t-shirts. Because when you can find a t-shirt that fits you properly, just buy loads of them, you never know when a good fitting t-shirt will come around again.

I think the price is about R60 now, but it’s still very cheap. I’ve been wearing the Woolworths organic cotton t-shirts for a few months now and they haven’t shrunk or lost their shape at all.

Crisis I’m hungover this morningĀ 

It’s also the perfect length, as I normally find t-shirts to be way to long.

Another top quality product from Woolworths!

I like the shirts too, but dude, seriously, do some research on “organic” farming before going on about how it saves the planet. It actually doesn’t. All you’re doing is buying into marketing hype and spreading it, without knowing the facts.

I’m a “chick” and I dig guys that save the planet, but going organic is a money-making scheme. It does the same amount of damage as (and sometimes more than) “non-organic” farming.

Chicks dig informed guys more.

Hi Ibis

Look, we all know that nothing saves the planet because everything relies on unsustainable methods of farming, namely machinery that runs on fuels such as diesel. Then the manufacturing that uses electricity probably derived from coal, and the shipping of these products.

I know as well as anyone else does that the world is a bit trashed, but if I can buy organic then I will. It’s not going to make much of a difference, but at R50 for a white to shirt, it’s hardly a money making scheme. It’s just a t shirt, made with organic cotton instead of cotton sprayed with pesticides.

Unless I’m seriously mistaken on organic farming, this can’t be the worst choice I’ve made in my life.
