American Eagle vs. Common Threadz

Because if you're going to be a billboard, you might as well advertise something worthwhile.

So here is the first of several comparisons between the big name label t-shirts everyone wears, and the cause t-shirts I encourage more people to try!

I understand that these shirts are a bit more expensive than the AE ones, but read on to find out where that money is going! 100% of the proceeds are given to the cause.
The Cause:

Common Threadz is a non-profit organization geared towards helping orphans and other vulnerable children in third world nations. For this organization the t-shirts are not just a small contributor to the mission, they are the mission!

The Proceeds:

Common Threadz has three different t-shirt collections.

The Signature Collection: Designed by leading artists around the world, each purchase gives an orphan a new school uniform.

The Orphan Collection: Designed by orphans in South Africa, the proceeds from each purchase feeds a child for 1 month.

The CelebriTee Collection: Designed by celebrities such as Laura Prepon, you are able to give a school uniform to an orphan and have $5 donated to the charity of the celebrities choice by purchasing a shirt.

The Shirts:

The men's shirt 'Birdland' is a part of the Signature Collection. Go here to purchase.

The women's shirt is from the CelebriTee Collection and is entitled 'Cherish'. Go here to purchase.

The Extra Perks:

For a limited time shipping is free if you order 2 or more shirts!

The designs come in a variety of options, from women's, men's, and children's sizes to different types of shirts. You, your hubby, and you baby can all match!

Customer's names are painted on a "Thank You" wall in Africa every quarter, and they send you a picture!

They were featured in Lucky Magazine!

They are high quality shirts!

They are super stylish and will totally spark up a conversation!
