Patagonia seems to be the best option among clothing manufacturers that are widely available. Plus their clothes are durable and look good. Hopefully they can leverage their weight to make positive changes at all levels of their supply chain.

In supply chains people lie all the time, hiding the Truth. They may be asking the right questions . They are doing a much better job than the rest of the industry. Still every company should know the product details. Sometimes you have to be a private eye to get to the truth .

It is unfortunate that FTUSA represents fair trade in many peoples minds. I can only imagine this is disasterous for the slaves in the cocoa industry and many others too. Sad after all the work by so many to connect people to products they are happy to pay for, sorry for slaves!
