Two Blind Brothers clothing line (self.Blind)
submitted by reachexceedgrasp
I just learned about https://twoblindbrothers.com/ a men's and women's clothing line started by two brothers with Stargardt's. They do tshirts, henleys, and hoodies, with a focus on ultra-soft materials. The clothing looks very comfy and minimalistically designed. They donate 100% of profits, and apparently employ many vision impaired folk in the manufacturing of the items.

First post here. I hope this is on topic, and of interest to some of you.

As a blind person myself, I find it ironic that they don't describe the colors of their hoodies on the site... Am I missing something?

Oh, that's no good! I've glanced at the source code and I think you're right that there isn't anything. I've used their contact form to send a note, asking them to both fix their site, and perhaps reply here.
Briefly, I'll describe. The Cape Cod is darkish navy blue exterior, with a very light grey and off-white striped interior only visible on the inside of the hood. The Roxanne is medium grey exterior, with a medium gray and dark grey striped interior. The Alice May is a dark purple (plum?), with a very light grey and off-white striped interior. The Kalamazoo is a darkish green exterior, with dark green and dark grey striped interior.
All the colors are not solid single hues, but are what I think is called a "heather" pattern, with subtle hue variations that makes it look more organic (it's a standard tshirt style). Ah, yes, here the wikipedia stub article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_(fabric) I hope that helps!
