Half-Formal Business Apparel

Formalitees Tie T-Shirts Are Organic Tees with Attached Ties

Tie T-shirts are short-sleeved tees with free-swinging ties that are permanently attached at the neck.

Business suits are no longer the symbol of idolatry that they once were, primarily due to the corrupt politicians and greedy Wall Street bankers who wear them; however, the suit and tie remain the sole representation of professionalism. The Tie T-shirts present a blend of business fashion and street style.

Sewn in Los Angeles from 100 percent organic cotton grown by family farmers in Texas, the Tie T-shirts redefine business casual to be as comfortable as it is responsible. Tie T-shirts take an aggressive stance against business suits and the evils of "business as usual," standing instead for real leaders who value social and environmental justice.

Dress up without selling out with Formalitees' Tie T-shirts and fight back against the greed and exploitation represented by suits.
