I'll bite. I do own, and climb in, clothes that could be considered "climbing clothes". The impetus for my decision to buy the clothes has as much do to with how I choose to spend my money as it does aesthetics. I would rather spend the money for organic cotton or some recycled wicking product than I would for traditional cotton products manufactured in a sweat shop. I would also rather support local gear shops than big box chains or online distributors. Kind of like my food choices. Local and organic is most desirable, then local foods, then the organic stuff shipped in from Cali. The way I see it how I spend my money has as big an effect on my ability to see change within our country as how I vote.
You might want to start reading the back of those (orgainic) food bags. You might not like what you see. Very few are from the USA and most other places have no laws to make sure they are what they say. ( just say'n )
