Muji has new "eco" shirts, and is making zero web progress

By Rain Noe - October 29, 2008

It ain't exactly dog hair, but retailer Muji has found a way to make shirts out of castoff material: Ochiwata, "short fibers that are removed during the weaving process. With an earthy feeling and simple design for multi layering, the shirts are more comfortable to wear and more eco-friendly."

Called Rescue Cotton Shirts, the new garments are currently for sale at a Muji near you. Which means if you live in Ohio, you're S.O.L. We'd hoped Muji would have an online store by now, but their U.S. website, which was only meant for publicity, still has pages saying "Under Construction" that are dated from 2007.
