“Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.” — Marc Jacobs
Not only is a T-shirt the foundation of so many wardrobes, but it is a foundation of Alabama Chanin. Nearly two decades ago Natalie cut up her first T-shirt, sewed it back together, and set herself on the path towards Alabama Chanin. This summer we are celebrating the T-shirt with Summer of Love —highlighting our favorite Love Tee, in all its iterations. Look for our Summer of Love Collection tomorrow on AlabamaChanin.com including new styles and additional color options for our beloved Love Tee. Explore the many facets of the T-shirt with wardrobe-ready classics, patterns, DIY Kits, and learn a bit of history, all below.

@ Alabama Chanin
Customization is among the many benefits of lean-method manufacturing. Because our garments are made to order, we offer the complimentary service of adjusting hemlines along the sleeve and body up to 3”. Note hemline adjustments at checkout, or connect with our team to learn more about opportunities to further customize fit.
Our Summer of Color Collection features vibrant, organic styles for a sustainable life.
@ The School of Making
July’s Swatch of the Month incorporates beaded Satin Stitching alongside The School of Making’s iconic Stars stencil.
Paired with embroidery techniques from our studio book, Alabama Studio Sewing + Design, July’s swatch revitalizes an embellishment that is, at once, impactful and simple. Our featured partner for this month is Lady Farmer, a slow living community that celebrates beauty and simplicity in creating a sustainable life.
