Abstract: A method of manufacturing and distributing a garment that commemorates a memorable place or tangible object. The method comprises the following steps: (a) converting at least a portion of the place or object to a particulate form, (b) mixing the particulate matter with a dye composition to form a dye mixture, (c) obtaining a quantity of dyeable garments, (d) dyeing at least a portion of each of said garments, using said dye mixture, and (e) distributing the dyed garments to members of the public, each one accompanied by a visually readable imprint that informs the reader that the garment has been colored in a formulation that contained at least a portion of the object and that identifies the nature of the portion that was used. A winning race car, for example, may be commemorated in this manner by mixing paint scraped from the car with a dye solutioln of approximately the same color and using the resultant slurry to dye t-shirts that are then tagged as to origin and distributed in commerce.
