Re: T-Shirts for sale

not really for now... i hope after sending a mass-mail to the members it will help. Best would be to pay a contract for 1 year, it would cost a lot less than a monthly contract

for now i have found a temporary solution.... out database is on a temporary dedicated server but we can't stay here for a long time... i have also desactivated all the features of one of the most popular website of our network so it dropped the server load a little... but we still have to move at least 2 websites of our network to a new server very soon.

i'm still working on optimizing the scripts of all our website so it consume less server ressources or else we will have the same problem once moving to a new server.

Re: T-Shirts for sale

Just wondering...
A while ago, I found a shirt at a local Valu-Village that said "Vos Lois N'est Pas Notre Regles" (I apologies, my French is nowhere near as good as it used to be), with a picture of a riot cop on it. I was wondering if you had a print for that shirt, I didn't see it on the website.

Re: T-Shirts for sale

sounds like a Charge 69 album, "vos lois ne sont pas nos règles" ... we can't steal their image, the singer and guitarist is a good friend of mine, i don't want to piss them off Sorry

this is probably the image you are talking about

Mike Generic · Jun 12, 2010

Re: T-Shirts for sale

It was close to that, but not quite. It was a more traditional "riot cop" image, with the text in red beside the top half of his body.

Re: T-Shirts for sale

New section, after a lot of work all designs are now available on t-shirts made by american apparel

Nobody ↑ :

12) Information on our t-shirts produced locally

All of our locally produced t-shirts are produced by American Apparel.
American Apparel bases its manufacturing in a factory in downtown Los Angeles, California. The company also owns and operates its own fabric dye house, garment dye house, and knitting facility, all based in Los Angeles. American Apparel has decided not to outsource its labor, paying factory workers an average of over twelve dollars an hour. Garment workers for similar American companies in China earn approximately 40 cents per hour. It claims to have the 'highest earning apparel workers in the world'.
The company also promotes a number of progressive policies including immigrant rights and labor policies the company dubs "sweatshop free."

The company uses "team manufacturing" which pools the strongest workers towards priority orders. Each team functions autonomously and determines its own daily production schedule, giving them control over their own hourly wages. After its implementation, garment production tripled and required a less than 20% staff increase. The factory claims to have the capacity to produce 1 million shirts per week and manufacture 275,000 pieces a day. According to The New York Times it is the largest single garment factory in the United States and employs over 4,000 people across two buildings.

Involvment in immigrant rights
A banner on top of the downtown factory states "American Apparel is an Industrial Revolution." As of December 2008, banners on top of the factories state "Legalize LA" and "Immigration Reform Now!"

In addition to participating in a variety of immigration protests, the company launched an advertising and advocacy campaign called "Legalize LA". The campaign featured advertisements in national papers like The New York Times as well as billboards, t-shirts, bus ads and posters. The company also maintains a Legalize LA portion of their website that features news articles relating to immigration reform, the brand and information on the history of the issue.

Legalize Gay
In November 2008 after the passing of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages in California, American Apparel created "Legalize Gay" (a play on Legalize LA) t-shirts to hand out to protesters at rallies. It is similar to the Legalize LA campaign, and shirts with "Legalize Gay" and "Repeal Prop 8" printed on them in the same style as the shirts of Legalize LA are sold by the company. The reaction was so strong, American Apparel began selling the same shirts at stores and online. On July 20, 2009 the window of an American Apparel store was broken by vandal in response to the campaign. In the next two days, employees at the Silver Spring location as well as the Georgetown store received threatening phone calls, with the perpetrators demanding the t-shirts be taken down. American Apparel asserted the company would not take the t-shirts down and instead, insisted every store in the Washington DC area display a "Legalize Gay" shirt. The company also offered to give the shirts to any gay rights group in DC who wanted one.

The company has also been criticized for carrying BUTT Magazine, a gay culture publication, though American Apparel refuses to discontinue carrying it citing it as an "important gay culture publication" and freedom of expression.

Labor:
As of 2008 the company employs over 10,000 people and operates over 200 retail locations in 18 countries. The company pays its manufacturing employees an average of US$12 per hour. According to the San Francisco Chronicle the average factory worker at the company makes $80–120 per day, or roughly $500 per week compared to the $30–40 made daily at most other Los Angeles-based garment factories. Employees also receive benefits such as paid time off, health care, company-subsidized lunches, bus passes, free English as an additional language classes, on-site massage therapists, free bicycles and on-site bike mechanics, free parking in addition to the proper lighting and ventilation. Every floor of the factory includes free telephones where workers can take and receive long distance phone calls. The company's employees in foreign countries do not receive the same hourly wages as their Los Angeles counterparts. However, employees in China will earn US Federal minimum wage. After going public, the company offered employees as much as $40 million in stock shares. The plan grants employees roughly 1 share of stock for every workday they'd spent at the company. Approximately 4,000 of the company's employees are eligible for the program. In previous years the waiting list for employment at American Apparel has had over 2,000 names on it. The company now however is actively looking for staff following an investigation by US immigration found that 1,500 of its workers lacked the legal immigration documents and were subsequently dismissed.

Immigration issues
As early as 2001, American Apparel has been a vocal advocate for reform of U.S. immigration laws. On May 1, 2002 American Apparel shut down its factory to allow the company's workers, many of whom are immigrants, to participate in a pro-immigration rally in downtown Los Angeles. Dov Charney, a Canadian immigrant, also marched alongside the workers. American Apparel participates annually in the May 1st Immigration March and Rally in downtown Los Angeles. In 2008, they added a route from their factory that eventually connected with other supporters near the city hall. The company's politics were eventually spun off into the Legalize LA advertising campaign.

In 2009, an ICE audit of American Apparel's employment records uncovered discrepancies in the documentation of about 25% of the company's workers, implying mainly that they were illegal immigrants. About 1,500 workers were let go in September of that year as a result. American Apparel responded with questions of the effectiveness of such an action and said "[the firings] will not help the economy, will not make us safer. No matter how we choose to define or label them [illegal immigrants] are hard-working, taxpaying workers.” The ICE audit highlighted a new strategy from President Obama which announced they were shifting away from high profile raids. According to CEO Dov Charney, American Apparel will give priority in hiring to any worker who can get their papers in order.

Environmental policies
The company depends on environmentally friendly practices and is known for its innovations in sustainability due to vertical integration. American Apparel manufacturing system is designed around the concept of "Creative Reuse"—which converts excess fabric from one garment template into several additional garments such as bathing suit tops, belts, headbands, bows, bras, underwear and children's clothing. This otherwise wasted material reduces the amount of fabric the company needs to produce in addition to expanding its product line. According to estimates, it saves about 30,000 pounds of cotton per week.

American Apparel maintains a bicycle lending program for its employees and according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals it is a vegan-friendly clothing company. As of 2007 the company planned to increase its use of organic cotton within the next four years from over 20% to 80%. American Apparel also sells a line of shirts under the "Sustainable" label that are 100% USDA organic cotton. In 2008, American Apparel purchased over 30,000 pounds of organic cotton known as B.A.S.I.C cotton.

American Apparel installed a 146 kilowatt solar electric system on its factory roof, designed to reduce power costs by at least 20%. These panels power as much as 30% of the factory. The company also recycles its fabric scraps.

Philanthropy
In 2005, the company hosted a bikini car wash benefit with the American Red Cross to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, they packaged and delivered 80,000 shirts to the relief effort in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. As an underwriter of Farm Aid, American Apparel donates the blank shirts that the organization prints and sells as merchandise. They also donated more than $400,000 worth of garments to the victims of the Haitian earthquake through Fashion Delivers as well as over 5,000 pairs of socks to the shoe charity Soles4Souls.

Re: T-Shirts for sale

Yeah i thought about you

What size do you wear ? I'm not sure if i will have the time to do both sections, so i may just do one and do the other one later (i will have to add manually over 1000+ t-shirts and then sort them into categories, it will take me a couple of days of work)... You can PM me the answer if you prefer

Re: T-Shirts for sale

lol oh god american apparel is such a shitty company. too many personal stories and accounts to mention, but for one thing the CEO of the company is a pedophile. and they still utilize illegal labor, or at least really fucking cheap labor for 20 american dollars a plain shirt. fuck that company, and all other textile companies.

just remember this, American Apparel might have factories that pay 12 dollars an hour (plus benefits) to their workers, but they have a hundred other sweat shops all around LA/OC who have illegal immagrants who probably work for about 5 dollars an hour.

i suppose the company is a lesser of many evils.....just sayin' there's no good in capitalism, no matter how green or humanistic it is, there's only one green they care about in the end.

Did you read the text at least ? American apparel are paying their employees 12 dollars an hour, it is the highest wages in the textile industry

As of 2008 the company employs over 10,000 people and operates over 200 retail locations in 18 countries. The company pays its manufacturing employees an average of US$12 per hour. According to the San Francisco Chronicle the average factory worker at the company makes $80–120 per day, or roughly $500 per week compared to the $30–40 made daily at most other Los Angeles-based garment factories.

At least inform yourself before talking shit.

As for the pedophile accusations, you'd have to provide proofs of that. I searched on google, and i didn't find any serious articles, except some bullshit ranting without any serious source, just like the accusations of sexual harrassement.

And the most funny part - illegal workers ?!?!? What the fuck is this term coming from the mouth of an anarchist ??? Anarchists are supposed to believe that no one is illegal. This is probably the best thing Americal Apparel is going - fighting for the legalization of immigration and employing immigrants even if they don't have proper papers. It gives them the opportunity to get a good job with fair wages instead of being exploited working for low wages. Seriously, rethink your positions.

I saw American Apparel plain t-shirts for $10 each, fucking cheap for locally produced t-shirt.
