+1 for Tollef here. I have tens of t-shirts from conferences, and that's basically my usual weekend attire. I have very few long-sleeved shirts — I guess that's partly because they are more expensive to produce, and that's partly because they are way less popular. Of course, vicious circle. But when I printed T-shirts in Mexico, the price difference was really big — Even two-color shirts (such as DC6 and DC7's)¹ are quite cheaper than long-sleeves. ¹ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Debconfshirts12.jpg > > There are different Material options: > > a) Hemp and Organic Cotton - super soft and comfortable > > b) Plastic Bottles and Cotton - Yep, you'd be surprised at how soft Plastic > > Bottles can be!

I also avoid anything plastic in contact with my body for hours. Organic sounds best from an ethical PoV, but we don't yet have here the pricing difference. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
