You already know why leather sucks. This "Kama" Brogue and "Apis" oxford were named after the Hindu god of love, and the Egyptian god of fertility. I wouldn't mind walking in their shoes.

There's nothing we like better than slim organic jeans, eco-bandits, waxed-cotton spring peacoats, and vegan, canvas oxfords! Well, maybe total animal liberation.

There's nothing we like better than slim organic jeans, eco-bandits, waxed-cotton spring peacoats, and vegan, canvas oxfords! Well, maybe total animal liberation. In the meantime, get the organic Nudie 'Long John' at OAK NYC, the Rachel Comey 'Spiller' shoe at Gimme Shoes, the organic SDN collection at sarahdixonsnova.com or if you're in NYC, Treehouse, and the Spiewak bad-ass waxed peacoat at Alter. (Thanks to reader, Troy (A Kindness of Ravens) for the shoe tip!)
NOTE: I do believe there may be a leather belt-loop-label on the Nudie's. Find out why you won't like leather here.

Better World Shopping Guide1. The Better World Shopping Guide. Wouldn't it be great to have a resource that graded (A+ through F) companies on their practices affecting ecosystems, people, and animals? My sister recently pointed out a great resource: "The Better World Shopping Guide" by Ellis Jones. Dr Jones has 2 books out. The Better World Handbook is a big book that catalogues the many ways one human being can make a difference in the world around a wide range of social and environmental problems. You can read nearly the whole book RIGHT HERE. 2. Pureology Styling Products PureologyPureology is a biodegradable, vegan, cruelty-free haircare product line used by top salons and stylists. I got my hair cut at Beehive in Williamsburg, and my stylist Kay made me fall in love with their nano-wax! Smells really good too. Pompadour heaven. 3.

Bergmans Organic Pima Cotton Collection Bergman's I've had a lot of people ask me where they can get nice organic dress shirts, khakis and such.
