Shirts come with tags that tell their stories.
Hipsters with a need for irony are flocking to a non-profit group that's figured out how to get people to buy all those T-shirts nobody wants: Wait until they're sent overseas in charity shipments, buy them back, then sell them here and use the proceeds for non-profit work.
That's the goal of Project Repat, a new Boston-based effort trying to turn old T-shirts into money for non-profit work in the developing world.
