January 2012 Spotlight: Good and Fair Clothing

Shelton Green is turning his passion into a reality - right here in Austin.

In 2007, Shelton became interested in the issue of slavery and human trafficking. The thought that marginalized people across the world were being forced into labor and abusive work-conditions to make a single pair of his jeans disturbed him deeply. In 2008, Shelton spent an entire year without shopping for clothes. He was determined not to support an industry that often pays unfair wages to maximize its own profit. Soon, Shelton decided to create a platform that provides easy access to clothing that was both good to the earth and fair to people. This led to the creation of Good and Fair Clothing an Austin based wholesaler of clothes to big retail stores.
