Thinking about the use of 2nd hand clothing, and it was suggested that by using it it would cancel out the fact that thay were made in a sweat shop. I do not believe this to be a fact, let me use an example. To skin a tiger for its fur would be considered unethical but buying it second hand doesn't change the way in which it was created. If a 11 year old girl is beaten after a 12 hour shift for not producing enough or not meeting her quota, and is in tear and pain to create your garment, buying it 2nd hand is not going to change that fact.
