At Black Cards Of History LLC, we don’t just speak truth — we wear it.
And now, we're proud to launch our official eco-friendly collection at the end of the month: a curated line of clothing and merch free of polyester in any form. That means no recycled polyester, no blends, and no greenwashed taglines. Just honest, breathable, plant-based fabric — exactly as it should be.
❌ Why No Polyester?
In today’s fashion world, “eco” and “sustainable” are words tossed around like confetti. But when you take a closer look, a lot of so-called "sustainable" options are still full of plastic — especially polyester.
You’ve probably seen labels like:
- “Made with Recycled Polyester”
- “80% Organic Cotton, 20% Recycled Polyester”
- “Eco-conscious Blend”
It always felt like a contradiction to us — kind of like a vegan hugging a jar of honey.
Polyester, recycled or not, is still plastic. It sheds microplastics in the wash, takes centuries to degrade, and often compromises the softness and breathability of what should be an eco-friendly garment. That’s why we went the extra mile (or three) to create an apparel section that’s entirely polyester-free. Not a trace. Not even in the thread count.
🌱 What You’ll Find in Our Eco-Friendly Section
Every item in our new eco-friendly collection is made with natural fibers only, primarily high-grade cotton. We’ve selected a range of responsibly sourced, ethically produced cotton garments that offer both comfort and conscience — without the synthetic shortcuts.
So let’s break it down. Here’s what the labels on our shirts actually mean:
🧵 Cotton
Regular cotton is the most common natural fiber used in apparel. It’s breathable, durable, and biodegradable. However, conventional cotton farming can be resource-intensive and often involves chemical pesticides and fertilizers. While still better than synthetic fabrics, traditional cotton doesn't always meet environmental benchmarks — which is why we go further.
🌿 Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds. It supports healthier soil, cleaner water, and safer farming practices for workers.
In our eco-friendly line, you’ll find 100% certified organic cotton apparel — the kind that’s soft on your skin and lighter on the planet.
🔄 Combed Ringspun Cotton
This is a cotton upgrade — both in feel and performance. Ringspun cotton is made by continuously twisting and thinning the cotton strands, making them longer, stronger, and softer than regular cotton.
Combed ringspun cotton takes it a step further by removing the shorter fibers, leaving a smooth, uniform texture. This process ensures:
- Fewer impurities
- A stronger fabric
- A noticeably softer hand feel
This is a go-to for premium tees and hoodies in our eco line.
💨 Airlume Cotton
Airlume cotton is one of the highest quality cotton options available — and you’ll find it in select pieces in our shop. It’s similar to combed ringspun cotton but refined even further.
What makes airlume special:
- 2.5x more impurities removed than standard cotton
- Sourced from long-staple cotton fibers for superior durability
- Responsibly dyed and cut in eco-conscious facilities
The result? A luxurious feel, clean surface for printing, and an environmentally responsible garment from thread to tag.
