I tried multiple times to pay more for textiles. I wanted to have some T shirts made at very good American wages, preferably in America. No one was able or interested in accommodating me. Admittedly it would have made their work much more complicated for a small order.
- tsunamifury 4y agoPlenty of brands do it. I assume you’re just unwilling to pay $300 for a t shirt.
- tomcam 4y agoNot in the early 90s when I was looking.
- greedo 4y agoThere are some companies that make textiles in the US. American Giant makes hoodies and sweatshirts that are MIUSA, and their quality is excellent. Flint and Tinder makes shirts, coats, hoodies/sweatshirts MIUSA and their 10-year pullover hoodie is the best hoodie I've ever owned.

Here a translation from the German wiki article: “ Grupp [ the owner] is publicly committed to Germany as a production location and advertises that all raw materials for the clothing are purchased in EU countries, that all production takes place in Germany, that there has been no short-time work or layoffs for over 30 years, and that Trigema guarantees employees' children a job or apprenticeship.” Quality is pretty good.
- tomcam 4y agoLove that, thanks!
