Last Friday I posted some thoughts on Kickstarter Math. Since then, Kickstarter shared (via email) a link to an NPR discussion on the cost of a t-shirt. How timely.

It’s a wonderful break down on estimated costs of getting a t-shirt created. Listen to NPR’s Episode 503: Adding Up the Cost of the Planet Money T-Shirt. Enjoy.

    That was an interesting discussion – it seems silly to send cotton from the US all around the world to get the T-Shirt back here….

      Pretty wild, eh? I’ve been looking at t-shirt companies that are local / use local materials. Some of the fabrics are crazy soft. Plenty of research left to be done!
