American Apparel

A good idea. I mean, here we have a company in which everyone knows what is going on. They make the clothing they sell in one building (which is not a sweatshop). There are no logos on anything, they employ a wide range of bright colors, and everything looks remarkablely hip and well made. Supposedly, they don't let their workers unionize. This doesn't seem to be a large disaster because of all the benefits and services provided to employees, but they should at least have the choice. Yet, my real problem with them is that everything is so expensive. Hoodie—$50. T-shirt (keep in mind, everything is blank)—$16. Socks—$8. Ultimatley the products and store are very cool, but I'm not rich enough to buy into the idea of them yet.
