Manufacturer Pure Waste Textiles

These are manufactured by Pure Waste Textiles, a company based in Helsinki, Finland. The factory that makes these shirts is located in Tiruppur, India. They are fully made from recycled materials, which saves, for example, 99% of the water that would be required to grow new cotton. Additionally, carbon dioxide emissions are about 50% lower when using recycled materials.

Description

Lauri Törni, Mannerheim Cross Knight number 144, fought bravely in Finland’s wars, later briefly served with German forces, and eventually continued his military career in the United States, bringing his guerrilla warfare expertise to the newly established Special Forces – where he was known as Larry Allan Thorne.

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons has made a two-part video series about Lauri Törni on YouTube, accompanied by the release of a related T-shirt and morale patch commemorating this military historical connection between Finland and the US.

Everything has been done with the permission of the family estate – also learn some Finnish and check out the activities of the Detatchment Lauri Törni Heritage Guild here!
