Most t-shirts are plastic. Check the tag on almost any "performance" tee and you'll find polyester—petroleum spun into fabric. One men's apparel brand decided that was unacceptable, burned its own product line down, and rebuilt from plants. We think that story deserves a spotlight.
From Plastic to Plants
Undrdog is a men's hemp apparel brand built around a single conviction: what touches your skin all day shouldn't be made of plastic. According to coverage in Bustle, founder Chuckie scrapped his entire existing apparel line after digging into the research on microplastics, PFAS "forever chemicals," and synthetic fibers—and invested $300,000 rebuilding the company around a blank tee made entirely from plants.
The DuraFlow™ Blend
Undrdog's signature fabric is a tri-blend of 51% hemp, 31% bamboo, and 18% organic cotton—zero polyester, zero PFAS, zero microplastic shedding. Industry skeptics reportedly said a blank tee with more than 30% hemp couldn't be made soft enough for everyday wear. They were wrong.
Why Hemp?
Hemp is one of the oldest textile fibers on earth, and it earns the comeback. Undrdog's hemp-dominant fabric is billed as roughly 4x stronger than cotton, naturally breathable, odor-resistant, hypoallergenic, and—unlike polyester—it sheds no microplastics in the wash. Bamboo adds airflow and softness; organic cotton rounds out the hand-feel.
The brand backs it with a lifetime warranty, and its "Projects" keep pushing the idea further—like Project 000: Clean Slate, an undyed, chemical-free version of the tee in the fiber's raw natural state.
Why We're Featuring Them
If you know Easyday, the philosophy will sound familiar. We both believe the best products start with what the plant already does well. Our gummies are built around clean, consistent formulations with lab-tested dosing—no shortcuts, no mystery ingredients. Undrdog applies the same standard to what you wear: if it goes on your body or in your body, the materials matter.
There's also a shared D.C.-friendly lifestyle overlap: the same person who reaches for a Tangerine Ginger Balanced gummy before a weekend hike, or a Lemon & Grape Rest & Relax after a long run, tends to care about breathable, natural gear too. If that sounds like you, our Easyday Sport section is full of ways to pair movement with mindful dosing.

The Takeaway
Wellness isn't one product—it's a pattern. What you eat, what you wear, how you recover. Brands like Undrdog are proof that consumers are done accepting plastic and mystery chemicals as the default, in their closets the same way they are in their edibles. We're happy to be on the same side of that shift.
