Jon Marro, Founder, Owner and all around Blend Apparel Guru, creates T-shirts from organic cotton and bamboo fibers using environmentally friendly inks/dyes and printing methods. Did I mention the company’s servers are also run using wind power? Did I also mention I have had the pleasure of interviewing Jon before? He shares a passion for art and how “iconography” can bring the world together. And it is all done with enormous love.
The average cost online for a plain old bamboo fiber or organic cotton T-shirt falls in the range of about $20, so considering there is a conceptual graphic design, applied using an eco-friendly processes on each shirt, the average price point of about $25 is well within reasonable. Never mind the fact I have spent more than that on a shirt from a concert which lasted half as long and was less than half as comfortable.
In all honesty I have read through their entire website (a few times actually, go ahead, call me a groupie) and attempted to find something wrong but Jon has such a big heart for the Earth it spills out all over his designs and I have no choice but to grant the company the very honorable Five Leaf Rating!
Keep up the amazing work Jon and we will keep spreading the word.

What a great post and fabulous feature. Your passion and adoration for his work were truly oozing out all over the place! :)
I think he should send you a t-shirt for that one! ;)
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I will second the fanaticism over Jon's tees. I own more than my fair share, and have plans to buy more in the very near future. They are the most-worn shirts in my wardrobe for sure! Totally comfortable, and eco-minded so no guilt in wearing them. What's NOT to love?
