Organic Cotton Shirts for Nazi’s?
October 23rd, 2008 by Frans Prins Posted in Berlin & Germany, Blog, Fashion
Okay, more and more people are getting to know about organic cotton. But organic cotton Nazi shirts? I just read on a post on the german blog Korrekte Klamotten that some Nazi postorder company sells nice Nazi shirts made from organic cotton.
Would their customers have asked for this? Or are we soon being shocked by a brown-green movement of Hitler-ökos who live a Lifestyle of Heimat and Sustainability?
The shirts are by Continental Clothing and well, they have a dilemma. Off course, also Nazi’s should have the possiblity to shop ethically, or?
Update:
Continental Clothing has stated, that they did not deliver the clothing directly, butz that it was delivered over a printer. They responded: “Continental Clothing Company and EarthPositive do not knowingly supply nazi or hate based groups with garments. Our clients who in turn supply many of their customers with our products.”They also asked to warn them in the future, and track down the sales point. Meanwhile, the bloggers on Korrekte Klamotten tried to track back the printer, without success. The question stays, where lies the responsibility?It is a difficult matter for companies to controll this production as no one controlls the whole chain. But in a chain, all particles have a shared responsibility. While shared responsibilities are not easy to manage, they don’t give us a reason to stick with just the small part we are on. That counts for dealing with Nazism as much as for labor abuse in the textile industry. In this repsonsibility, it is up to Continental to take the right messurements, as it is for us bloggers to send out a warning when things seem to go wrong. That’s whewre we are at. To be continued…

Statement from Continental Clothing:
“Continental Clothing Company and EarthPositive do not knowingly supply nazi or hate based groups with garments. Our clients who in turn supply many of their customers with our products. Continental Clothing Company has no possibility of un-desirable groups and individuals purchasing our product to promote political views and aims completely at odds to Continental Clothing’s view point has increased. Today a various online/on demand merchandise companies have such vast accounts and automated systems that the posting of nazi and or hate based images/slogans has multiplied. This does not mean that they or Continental Clothing Company endorse such things and often have terms and conditions prohibiting it.
Continental Clothing Company as most of our customers and fans realise believes in a better world against the exploitation and abuse of fellow humans in all shapes and forms. This encompasses hoe we do business along with how we view our staff, customers and general public. Continental Clothing Company is an equal opportunities employer and does not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia etc. Our ethical stand on a variety of issues is available to be viewed by visiting our websites.
If people are concerned about textiles being used to promote hate based views they should track the garments back from the sales point. As pointed out many companies have terms and conditions forbidding such use and will react upon being informed.” /Continental Clothing Company
