Just in time for you to buy me for Valentine's Day!

A classic all the way, the Gaskell from Theory is a traditional two-button cotton Henley that’s become a staple in every modern man’s wardrobe. What’s not so traditional, though, is the color, and the philanthropic goals of this humble Henley. For every Gaskell Shirt sold, (THEORY)RED provides 57 days-worth of life-saving medication to women in sub-Saharan Africa. And—nope, we’re not done yet—25-percent of the sale of all (THEORY)RED products will go directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.
-----------------
The shirt is now only $50, marked down from $115.

I admire the company's social responsibility, but something about paying $50 (not to mention $115!) for what is basically a red undershirt leaves me ... cold? On the other hand, if you plan to spend that kind of money, it is good to know that some of it will go to help people in need.

Just thinking out loud here ... But you could just contribute $50 or $115 directly to respected and responsible charities and keep your wardrobe and  spirit uncluttered.
