As everyone, I wore the same clothes that everyone else did — the ones available in the market.
But those clothes weren’t made for us. Not for humans, but humans are still wearing them. They were controlled by the polyester mafia and cheap dealers who, for a bit of profit, decided to play with people’s lives.
At first, I didn’t see it (I was a child back then, can you believe that?). Nobody did (Most still do not.). We just wore what was sold to us (Most still do). But slowly, the truth became impossible to ignore. The fabrics didn’t breathe. They trapped heat, caused skin problems, and spread discomfort like a silent disease. People complained of rashes, constant sweating in summer (all seasons actually), bad odor, restlessness, itching — even in winter, a little movement would drench you in sweat.
And yet, they kept buying (still nothing is changed, for most), because there were no alternatives( Now people have become more aware).
But it wasn’t only about health. These clothes were erasing identity too. One design mass-produced for everyone, stamped as a “trend.” The cycle never stopped. Designs changed, but individuality was reduced & replaced by uniformity. As a result self-expression was replaced by mass consumption. In short, everyone forced to look the same (Still people choose on there own to do the same).
Now back to the main point, At first, I thought maybe it was just me. Maybe I sweat too much or was overthinking (at this point I am no longer a child and took admission in a college). But when I looked around — in villages, in cities, in gyms, schools, and offices — I saw the same thing everywhere (Polyester Clothing). I was researching and get to know this substance at this stage and the truth about this material.
The problem wasn’t mine. The problem was everywhere. So I started asking people why.
Some said, “This is fashion now”.
One said, "This is the best stock that my favourite shopkeeper had".
Others said, “It’s cheaper… only this is available.”
But no one could answer the most important questions:
- Why was only this available, always ready to sell?
- Why should profit come at the cost of people’s health, comfort, and identity?
That’s where LAMAN began. It is mixture of words which roughly translates to "The General Human". So it crossed my mind and i wanted to have something dedicated to other fellow beings and provide an alternative to like minded people.
Not with an invention — because we didn’t invent the t-shirt.
But with a discovery: that we do have an option against all this. I was studying literature and that means the life in that period of a nation. I was well aware about the Dressings and textile culture of many countries and civilizations, all have one thing common, natural clothing fabrics. But in modern times we are wearing synthetic, pollutant and harmful clothing, which no one was addressing, so I did it, for myself, as well as for those who might need it.
This discovery of a problem so big, so deeply rooted, that ignoring it would mean accepting it.
And I couldn’t.
I could not see others suffering the same.
