Your Fast Fashion Hoodie is a Fossil Fuel Fever Dream

The Verdict: If you’re still buying $20 hoodies from massive retailers, you’re not wearing clothes; you’re wearing refined petroleum. The Punchlist Zero Organic Hoodie — Built Clean is the adult upgrade for people who have graduated from disposable culture.

The Itch of the Status Quo

We’ve all been there. You buy a sweatshirt that looks decent on a screen. Three washes later, the sleeves have retreated to your elbows, the fabric feels like sandpaper, and it smells faintly of a chemical spill. That’s the fast-fashion tax. It’s cheap because it’s meant to be replaced. It’s thin because profit margins demand it. Most "standard" merch is a blend of low-grade cotton and virgin polyester that sheds microplastics every time you hit ‘rinse’.

The Punchlist Zero Organic Hoodie — Built Clean exists because we’re tired of the cycle. Part of our Blue-Collar Pride Hoodies collection, it’s built for the person who respects the process—whether that’s a code deploy or a literal punchlist on a job site.

The Punchlist Zero

80% GOTS Organic Cotton: Ridiculously soft. No pesticides.
20% GRS Recycled Polyester: Keeps the shape without the virgin plastic guilt.
Water-Based Inks: Breathable graphics that don't crack.
Zero Waste: Printed when you order.

Standard Merch

Virgin Poly Blend: Pills after two wears.
Chemical Heavy: Vague sourcing and questionable dyes.
Plastisol Prints: Like wearing a plastic sticker on your chest.
Mass Produced: Thousands sit in warehouses until they hit a landfill.

Why it Costs More (And Why That’s Good)

Let’s be real. $54.99 isn’t impulse-buy territory. But here’s the math: a cheap hoodie lasts six months. The Punchlist Zero Organic Hoodie — Built Clean is designed for a ten-year lifespan. It’s mid-weight, ring-spun, and finished with a half-moon detail on the back for structural integrity. When you factor in the Certifications we hold—from GOTS to GRS—you aren't just buying a layer; you're buying a verified supply chain.
