Allmade – Feel your impact
Barrel Maker has helped develop Allmade Apparel, a company wholly committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and child abandonment in Haiti. Not only does Allmade pay their workers five times the usual wage to create dignified work that helps keep families together, but they also partner with the Global Orphan project to fight generational poverty.
These shirts aren’t just great for the people that make them, they’re great for the environment too. Today, two billion t-shirts are made annually, using fibers like industrial cotton which are often grown in regions with minimal regulations, directly exposing workers and the environment to deadly pesticides and herbicides that are outlawed in the United States. These materials are transported across the globe using bunker fuel, a heavy oil residue so toxic most countries won’t let ships using it within 200 miles of shore.
BREAK THE CYCLE
An Allmade t-shirt starts with better raw materials, meaning organic, US grown cotton. The triblends also contain recycled polyester from used plastic bottles, and modal, which is the secret to a luxuriously soft shirt that uses a low-impact process to break wood pulp down into fiber.
If you’d like to be a part of this apparel revolution, just request a quote for your next project with Allmade Apparel shirts. And also, keep in mind, though Allmade is committing to helping others, they also hold their employees up to high-standards in order to produce quality products for an international market. In other words, your shirts will always be great, and the way they were made is great for others too.

Sustainability #2 – Upping our Recycling Game
As suspected, we’re already running into some issues. For example, sometimes it’s really hard to get everyone in the same room for longer than 5 minutes.
Our First Sustainability Meeting
We decided to start having sustainability meetings every two weeks, observe our habits, and really start to ask ourselves how we can be better.
