Buying Fair Trade Clothing

I would like to purchase fair trade clothing over the Internet. Any good leads and recommendations would be greatly appreciated; I will let you know what I turn up.

The organization that certifies fair trade products in the US, Transfairusa, says the first fair trade certified apparel and home goods products are expected in stores in the United States this spring:

That is great news for the workers and consumers, and I am will be and supporting those products and companies. In the meantime, I am continuing the search for fair trade clothing, such as jeans, to make sure my money goes to companies that support and treat their workers with fairness and decency.

Lisa, my wife and I just got some clothing from Fair Indigo (fairindigo.com) and we really like the quality. Nice little tags that tell a little about the fair trade companies where they're made. But we got shirts, not pants, so I can't comment on their jeans (though they're on sale right now!)
