For those who don’t remember, Woodstock was a concert held in the 1960s that celebrated the “Flower Power” generation of peace and love. It was held in a farm field in Woodstock, New York in the United States, and attendance was “half a million strong” as one of the songs sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young at the concert claimed. It was a musical event that has never been repeated and never truly can be.During this era in American history many icons and logos were created that are seen to this day on t-shirts and jewellery. Who doesn’t recognize the enduring peace symbol for example? Recently there has been a resurgence in the use of the 1960s logos and symbols as the 40th anniversary of Woodstock approaches.
If you want to remember this time of free love, flowers, and calls for world peace, there is no better way than to wear retro-clothing. You can order printed t-shirts containing your favourite symbol of those long ago times. You can also find companies such as nopooh offering pre-printed shirts that are also eco-friendly.
To be true to the spirit of Woodstock, it only makes sense to buy organic or eco-friendly tees or sweatshirts. The shirts sold to distributors by Eternal Apparel are made from bamboo fibre for example. Bamboo is a renewable resource that can be used to make a fibre ideal for summer clothing. But any eco-friendly clothing that relies on sustainable resources will meet the spirit of Woodstock. The spirit of the 1960s embraced music and friendship and wearing a t-shirt with one of the easily recognized era symbols lets others know you have not forgotten. So go ahead and order printed t-shirt with your favourite design. It’s time to remember a musical event heard around the world.
