The Birth of Onetruepants
Onetruepants is at the same time both a movement and a product.
At one level Onetruepants is a vision for a sustainable textile future in which the textile industry is no longer enslaved to destructive ecological practices and products or enslaving the global poor in the name of economic development.
More concretely, One True Pants is an actual pair of pants. 100% hemp, these male dungarees have been hand-crafted in the U.S. by Kish Carter in a collaborative effort with David Mark Brown using organic Romanian hemp obtained through fair labor practices. They have been designed to function truly and perfectly in both form and function. They are pure and holy. They are indeed, One True Pants.
Our short-term goal is to raise awareness of hemp as a sustainable, durable and versatile fabric by having David Mark Brown wear a single pair of one true pants continuously until they wear out by being rendered no longer acceptable and/or effective as clothing according to North American standards. The one true pants will be removed from David’s body once a week in order to be machine washed and gently tumbled dry before being put immediately back onto David’s fit and sleek physique. As the days, weeks and years roll by, it will be revealed to the world through a massive social networking structure that Onetruepants is indeed a force of global salvation.
Our long-term goal is to develop farming/textile, cooperative franchises around the world through grass roots efforts in order to assist in bringing fair trade, fair labor and ecologically sustainable practices into the mainstream of the global textile industry. This will be accomplished by developing a pair of one true pants for each cultural region in witch a new franchise sets up, by selling lifelong memberships to share holders of Onetruepants rather than selling shoddy products to consumers, and by reflecting the values taught by Jesus of Nazareth in his sermon on the mount through our cooperative hemp farming and textile operations.
