Default Re: Fair Trade and Organic T-shirts in US?

Well, for me the important things are:
Organic & Fair Trade
At least 5 colors available
Long sleeve, Women's and kids sizes available too
Not too thin - at least something like 5.5 oz
Ability to order in small quantities (like 50 at a time)

The company I use now, www.econscious.net, is pretty good with everything, except the fair trade part. I'm trying to find out if they are working towards certification in any company (like Co-op America), but in the meantime I'm investigating other companies.

Looks like there may be other possibilities like:
www.maggiesorganics.com
www.haenow.com

I'm hoping econscious will be ok, they are a new company and may just not have joined any particular Fair Trade type company yet. I love the feel of their Ts.

Thanks for the help, Jasonda.

Michelle
