Product Description
Take my Kid Rock Allen Iverson The Answer shirt the relic of a messy teenage relationship that quickly soured. It first slipped into my ownership circa 2003, in the heady summer after A-levels. I would borrow it to wear after a night out, high on strawberry daiquiris and the knowledge that I would never again be questioned on 19th-century history. I have never knowingly listened to a Kid Rock song. And, until today, had no idea about his politics, which seem to veer to the right of Donald Trump’s. Although now that I do (the absolute horror!) I don’t think I will ever be able to wear said T-shirt again. For this week’s newsletter, we asked Guardian writers to give us a sniff of the clothes they kept from an ex. Unsurprisingly, most are off the record. I was young and immature and his clothes were a constant point of contention between us. He left his Champion jumper, the only nice item of clothing he really wore, at my house, and I deliberately never gave it back because I wanted a reminder of him. But also because I was bitter and I wanted to deprive him of his one cool look. And I couldn’t bear the idea of him pulling in it.

I’m excited for Allen Iverson The Answer shirt new legislation. France, as ever, is leading the way with money-back schemes for those who repair clothes and punchy proposals to tax fast fashion brands. I’m also excited for more conscious consumerism: there has been a groundswell of understanding in recent years that fashion should not be an all-you-can-eat buffet, that consumption has consequences and there is such a thing as too much. The Rule of Five campaign [which Darke pioneered], along with no-buy and 30-wear challenges are attracting increasingly large audiences. Although there is still so much work to be done around workers’ pay and conditions, as well as the biggest issue of how to tackle overproduction, I’m excited about the work on regenerative textile production. Brands like Ōshadi, in India, are leading the way with new supply chains that work in harmony with nature. Their latest Seed-to-Sew collection is made with cotton grown in rotation with other crops to promote biodiversity and draw carbon into the soil. The fact that there are brands successfully reworking the way our clothes are grown and made gives me hope.
