Default Green Business Clothing?

Any ideas where I can get business clothing that's socially responsible in terms of production and made from organically grown materials?

For men or women?

I know that for designers Diane Von Furstenberg uses silk that is cruelty free in her clothing. Normally for silk they kill the moths and boil them alive or something...she gets her silk from some place where they let the moths hatch and they can build more cocoons afterwards...

Not sure where you get her clothing around here as I bought some in the US.

american apparel uses ethical labor standards

hemp clothing does not use as much pesticides as cotton ( and cotton uses a lot of pesticides)

Thanks for the replies!

I tried AA and they didn't really have what I was looking for. I probably should have specified in the first place. I'm looking for "green" men's business suits (pants, jackets) and dress shirts. Ones that I can wear to somewhat formal business functions.

Thumbs up GTA: Farley Chatto

Farley Chatto designs some pretty hot suits made of soy, bamboo, organic cottons and low-impact dye. I attended a function where one of his 4 piece suits sold at auction for $600 - retails $1500. You can go to his studio and find deals on things, or buy pieces there. 525 Adelaide Street West Suite 402. (416) 703 6503. http://www.farleychatto.com/

Also, Sandstone has a 100% hemp suit that looks alright. http://sandstonehemp.com/casual.html

If you're in Toronto and looking for hip local eco-fashion, check this out: http://greencarpetseries.com

The next eco-fashion show will take place in a month or two. Tickets were around $30 last time, I think, and included food and drinks. George Strombo was the host last time.
