Mortex Apparel was founded in 1984 by Ed Morrell, Brian’s father. It caters largely to the college market, delivering a quality product quickly and efficiently.
In 2005, Ed and Brian took a leap of faith and began working with TS Designs on its then-experimental organic cotton project, what has now become TSD’s flagship product: the TSD Organic t-shirt line.
Since then, TSD and Mortex have become partners in their sustainable mission, including Cotton of the Carolinas.

TS Designs is a screen printing business founded in 1977 by Tom Sineath.
Once catering to the big apparel brands (Nike, Tommy, Polo, GAP, etc.), TS Designs changed its business model and mission after seeing the destructive effects of NAFTA and globalization on its industry.
TSD now provides unique, American-made printed t-shirts, including Cotton of the Carolinas, a shirt grown and made entirely in North and South Carolina.
