Have you ever wondered about where your t-shirt comes from or where your shirt was made? Then check out Anvil&#8217;s site trackmyt.com. This site allows you to type in the lot number that is found on the back of the tag and explore the journey your shirt takes from the farm to your hands. You can track your own shirt or choose a random shirt. You will see the whole process from the farm to the yarn spinner then the textile mill, cut and sew, the distribution center and then finally to you. Videos and pictures at each stop personalize the process and go into further detail. Along the way you will learn about who some of the cotton farmers are and about Eli Whitney- who invented the cotton gin in 1792. From the cotton gin you are transported to Central America where the yarn spinning and cut and sew operations take place. From there you are introduced to Bob who manages a 16 acre distribution building back in South Carolina. Finally the shirt back to you. <a href=\"http:\/\/trackmyt.com\/\">http:\/\/trackmyt.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is your shirt&#8217;s story?
