Question about the merch

Question!

I was at the System of a Down concert in Düsseldorf two days ago, and something got me thinking afterward. I have a question about official System of a Down merchandise. I recently noticed that some of their clothing appears to be produced in Bangladesh. That surprised me a bit, since the band is well known for being politically engaged and often advocating for social justice and fair conditions. So I’m wondering: How does this align with production in a country that is often criticized for problematic working conditions in the textile industry? Are there any official statements from the band or information about the specific manufacturers (e.g., certifications, fair production standards, etc.)? I’m not trying to accuse or judge, I’d just like to better understand how this fits together. Does anyone have more information or sources on this?
