Crowdfunding since 2010

We bring hemp into the merch market! Hemp is extremely robust, but very skin-friendly - and pesticide-free by nature. The coolest stuff on Earth!

Our goal: To establish hemp in the merch market. Hemp is extremely robust, but very comfortable to wear. At the same time, it needs no pesticides and little water. This makes it the perfect alternative to the dirty and thirsty cotton. We love metal and punk music, so we're starting there! We bring you exclusive shirts, girlies and tank tops from fair and eco-friendly production. Made from the coolest stuff on Earth!

Warum wir Ärzte ohne Grenzen unterstützen

Thomas Winter

Liebe Unterstützer und Fans,

einen Teil unserer Überschüsse werden wir den "'Ärzten ohne Grenzen" in Usbekistan zukommen lassen. Der seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts intensiv betriebene Baumwollanbau hat dort zu einer massiven Gesundheitskrise geführt. Während natürlich nicht alle Probleme auf den Baumwollanbau zurückzuführen sind, ist es unbestritten, dass die Baumwollproduktion für die Allgegenwart giftiger Chemikalien und das Austrocknen des Aralsees verantwortlich ist, was viele Gesundheitsprobleme in der Region verschlimmert oder überhaupt erst verursacht.

Ärzte ohne Grenzen sind eine von nur noch sehr wenigen Organisationen, die vor Ort helfen. Die Aktivitäten konzentrieren sich auf die südliche Aralseeregion, wo die NGO sich Menschen gegen Tuberkulose behandelt.

Weitere Details erfahrt Ihr im aktuellen Beitrag unseres Blogs "Fact of the Weed".

Dear backers and fans,

a part of our profits will be given to the NGO "Doctors Without Borders" in Uzbekistan. Since the mid-20th century, the intensified cotton cultivation has led to a rampant health crisis in this part of the word. Of course not all problems are caused by cotton, but it is clear that cotton production is responsible for the ubiquity of toxic chemicals as well as the dry-up of the Aral Sea, which has aggravated or caused many of the health problems in the region.

Doctors Without Borders is one of only very few organisations that help the people in this corner of the world. Their activities focus on the southern Aral Sea region, where they help treat people against tuberculosis.

For further details, please see the current post in our blog "Fact of the Weed".

Dear crowd,

in the past two weeks, we have got a lot of feedback at our promo stalls on festivals and fairs. Many women - though not all - told us that in their opinion our women's shirts/girlies tend to be a bit large for their sizes. So it might be a good idea to order your women's shirts/girlies one size smaller!

If you have already backed us, that's no problem! If our funding is successful, we will send all who have backed us so far an email to clear things up.

Liebe Crowd,

in den letzten zwei Wochen haben wir sehr viel wertvolles Feedback an unseren Festival- und Messeständen bekommen. Viele Frauen haben uns mitgeteilt, dass in ihren Augen die Damenshirts/Girlies eher etwas groß ausfallen. Im Zweifel wählt also lieber eine Größe kleiner!

Wenn Ihr schon ein Shirt gebucht habt - kein Problem! Wir werden bei einem erfolgreichen Funding alle bisherigen Unterstützer*innen hierzu nochmal anschreiben.
