I cannot find any biker shorts that are mid-rise that aren’t 80% nylon and/or have a super inseam.
Any recommendations?

I’ve been turning thrift throwaways, like tablecloths, cloth shower curtains. etc. into new items- mostly pants and aprons so far. I think it’s really fun and the pieces are so unique. A lot of the fabrics are high-quality, 100% cotton. I can make all sorts of other items but have been having fun with these for now.
Is this something people might be interested in? I’m amassing a big collection of salvaged fabric and completed items and I’ve thought to start selling them. If you would be interested- where would you buy this kind of thing?
Etsy feels like pay to play platform now, and I worry if I just open a website/shopify I won’t be able to get traffic.
Help me validate this idea I’ve carried for months. Need the guidance of all my baddies across aesthetics to hit me with their blunt fashion truths and preferences. If you’re down for a chat I’ll be happy to interview you and make a friend
In return if I can help you in any way would love to connect and stay connected. I’m a Tier 1 MBA non technical background in a tech role with a (only very slightly impressive) creative past.
I’m working on multiple projects including one to help out in the Nepal floods. Hit me up if you want to join forces for that as well.
Peace out friendos
Get on up that soapbox and let us have it. Be civil and mind the rules.
A recurring thread for talking about things related to sustainable fashion. Be nice.
I ordered Rapanui’s Organic Cotton T-shirt for a long-term experiment I’m running comparing white T-shirts through wash and wear. What arrived was a T-shirt labelled Earth Positive.
At first, I assumed it was a warehouse mix-up. I mentioned the unexpected Earth Positive delivery in my first email to Rapanui, but they treated my order as missing and arranged a replacement.
The replacement was… another Earth Positive T-shirt. This time, the shipping label clearly identified Teemill, the company behind Rapanui, as the sender.
When I asked directly about this, they explained that their factory sometimes uses alternatives from approved suppliers when a particular product is out of stock. They said these have the same quality, fit and durability, and that using available stock avoids express airfreight.
In a later email, however, they said their European factory in Prague had gradually transitioned away from Rapanui products and was stocking Earth Positive and Stanley/Stella items. They apologised that this hadn’t been communicated properly on the website.
I received a refund, so the financial side is resolved. But I’m still puzzled by the idea of supplying another brand’s product - and especially doing so without telling the customer.
Has anyone else received an Earth Positive or Stanley/Stella T-shirt when ordering from Rapanui? Or had a similar experience with another clothing brand? I’d be interested to hear whether you were told about the substitution beforehand.
