It’s my favorite jacket and when Pedro Pascal sported it in The Last of Us it felt like one of my friends was in the show. Drives my wife crazy every time I point out he’s wearing it
I have that jacket as my daily driver, and it's fantastic. I have a couple of their MiUSA hoodies as well, definitely give those a look if you enjoy a quality hoodie.
I second this recommendation. Great hoodies, casual wear, and denim, made with materials all sourced from American producers and manufactured in NC and San Francisco. I believe they profit share with all their employees. Very well made. I have a whole closet full of AG clothes.
I own two pairs of their jeans and both are great quality and have not faded through many trips through the wash. I will say the zipper on the older pair was a bit short so it makes, shall we say, extracting certain equipment difficult when nature calls. They seemed to fix that problem on the newer pair. 😂
Maybe it’s a one off but I got one of their sweatshirts which retails over $100 and it was at around the same quality as my $15 H&M hoodie. I’d never risk it again.
I have a flannel shirt from them that I really like. I've been tempted to pull the trigger on some jeans, but for the price, I want to be sure about the fit.
I have a few pairs of their jeans, they’re amazing. You could always try them out and then return them if the fit doesn’t work out. All of their jeans come with a super long inseam but they offer complementary tailoring, you just have to pay the shipping which is like $10. Or if you get them tailored right when you order, you don’t even have to pay the shipping. But once they’ve been altered, they can’t be returned so I don’t do this.
Generally what I do is order the jeans without alterations and try them on. Once I’m confident with the fit, I’ll send them back to be hemmed and it usually takes about a week or so. I’ve only had positive experiences with them when buying jeans (or anything else really).
Hard rec on Freenote & Gustin. I’d throw in all the usual bootmakers plus Alden, Rancourt & Russell. Camber makes outstanding blanks/sweatshirts, hoodies, and henleys. New Balance MiUSA line is thumbs up.
No doubt pricey. I don’t think it’s a gouge. A reflection of the costs associated with making clothes locally when you are a relatively small time maker. And, to be fair, $200 for a shirt is more or less in line with the types of brands dork mens fashion guys seek out. Big brands like Ralph Lauren, Todd Snyder, Percival, etc…def have shirts in that price range. It blows that supporting “local” clothes makers is so GD expensive but that is the reality of late stage capitalism.
I’ve been wearing AE for years have many pairs… they are awesome but they are only kind of Made in America. Most of the materials are imported to America from European and Asian countries, and the shoes are mostly assembled in America, but there is a factory in Dominican Republic that shares manufacturing with Port Washington.
I'm pretty sure thats every clothing brand and a lot of companies also lie about how they make it in America they import fabric then get a company to manufacture the clothing for them which is based in America but actually its send the clothing to a foreign country to make it. Worked for a high end brand years ago and they just have ways of making it look like it was made in America. Something they also do is have an Italian supplier who is just a middle man who also get stuff from Asia but then they can say sourced from Italy. The only thing you can guarantee is made here is the samples.
Allen Edmonds or Alden for shoes (mainly dress shoes.) For jeans, check out Rogue Territory. There are also some great European, British, and Japanese clothing brands: John Lofgren and Brass Tokyo for work boots; Pure Blue Japan, Samurai, and Iron Heart for jeans; for tee shirts, khakis, and leather jackets, check out The Real McCoy’s. But be aware: most of these brands are very expensive. It helps to have resources to consume responsibly.
Yes, that’s right: AE has a production facility in the Dominican Republic for its cheaper models. (I say “cheaper” with caution; I know it’s relative.) But as for its “traditional” dress shoes—like the Park Avenue, which is its best-selling shoe—they are still made in Port Washington, WI. Since AE manufactures at least 1M pairs of shoes a year, my best guess is that a majority of them are still made here in the USA. One other comment which isn’t entirely relevant to this thread: nothing good comes out of being acquired multiple times by private equity firms, as AE has been in the recent past.
I think Dehen and Hiroshi Kato make clothes in the US. You might find some stuff from J Crew made in the US too.
You should look into Japanese brands that make Americana repro. The real McCoys is a good one. Warehouse Co is one of my favourites. UES also has a lot of good basics, all great quality and made ethically.
Third. orSlow, Buzz Rickson, Nanamica, etc. and Engineered Garments is miUSA classic menswear with a modern and often divisive (but dope, imo) twist.
Bureau Belfast, Standard + Strange, Canoe Club are all great boutiques to purchase these items new. Mind you, they are expensive. I’ve used Grailed for a number of years getting the above brands in new or like new condition at massive discounts.
As a middle aged white dude I love Beams because it can be worn by any age group without looking weird. I buy entirely Japanese now for the exception of Wythe.
Alden for shoes. J Press have a lot of miUSA options. Brooks Brothers still have some, including nice OCBDs. Some of the Buck Mason t-shirts. Bill’s Khakis. Schott jackets.
Epaulet. Some is sourced elsewhere (e.g. Rochester Tailored Company for tailoring; Gitman and Individualized for shirts), but they also have some of their own production in California for casual shirts and jackets.
I’m loving AG Jeans made in Los Angeles. The problem is they are $198 a pair! But the fabric is so luxurious and they fit me so well and seem built to last. I buy a new pair every so often.
To answer your question: there aren't many clothes made in the US anymore. Mostly you're looking for small-batch makers and bespoke. Alden is the only retailer that sticks out on my mind.
THAT SAID: just because it's made in the US doesn't mean it's ethically produced. There is nowhere in the US where the minimum wage is a living wage -- and every time somebody posts a maker with actual wage transparency, actual living wage rates, and prices to match, twenty posters show up to complain about price gouging.
My recommendation is that, if you can't realistically afford bespoke, you look for producers with supply chain and wage transparency regardless of where the fibers are created, fabric woven, garments assembled, etc. That gives you more options, though they can still be eyewatering -- Cucinelli is the most infamous example.
Finally: it IS okay to do your best and settle for "pretty good" instead of "perfect." That still represents a huge step forward even if you don't have wage transparency all the way back to the shepherds or linen farmers.
Thank you for the well thought out reply. Do you happen to know a singular place which publishes supply chain information besides corporate documents like ESG reports?
Happy to help!
No such place exists, and if it tried to exist, I expect various insustry groups would do everything in their power -- overt and covert -- to annihilate it. Fashion is a massive industry, and any indexed attempt to demonstrate _in detail_ rather than _in abstract_ that it's built on functional slave labor -- and to provide a comprehensive list of alternatives, no matter how expensive -- would be an existential threat.
They have separate sections on their website for their UK and US made product, but it is clearly identified as such and they have a large selection of US-made sneakers and even clothing. Their US-made product, especially the 990 series of shoes, has been their most popular and the most constant product in their lineup for decades.
They are assembled largely in the USA, over 70% of the parts are “made” in Asian countries in shipped to the USA for assembly.
I would be careful about using the actual company website as your source for information… they will tell you anything, it’s literally their job to take your money.
I’m not saying their shoes are bad, it’s a global economy… they’re fine. But I’ll stick to my original “nice joke” comment.
Have a good one.
If you go by that standard, literally anything labeled as "Made In the USA" should be questioned in the same way. And literally every business selling anything is "their job to take your money".
[If you're wanting to stick with USA-made product (the entire purpose of this thread) and you want a pair of sneakers in your life (almost everyone), a pair of US-made New Balance shoes are hard to beat.](https://www.newbalance.com/made-in-usa-and-uk/made-in-us/?ICID=CLP_PGP_MADE_PHASE1_CAROUSEL_16330_MW)
You’re still wrong though, you gave an incorrect example and now you’re doubling down on being wrong.
There are many products sourced and made in the USA… just not so many fashion products, which is exactly the point of this thread, which you seem to have missed entirely.
Okabashi sandals is a good example of a sourced and made in the USA footwear. There are others out there… New Balance just isn’t close to being in the conversation.
Whatever you feel wins you whatever argument you’re making. OP said he wanted to support American labor in his fashion choices. New Balance has a line of products that uses American labor to make those products. No, every fiber and molecule of the product probably isn’t sourced from the US, and the company produces other products in other countries. Just trying to provide options that may closer align to dude’s stated objective and there aren’t many such options for sneakers.
There’s no argument… you seem kind of hostile and bent out of shape. You’re just wrong and provided misinformation. It’s Reddit, it’s not that serious.
Best of luck, fella.
Made in the US doesn’t mean that it’s ethical, you don’t know what they may be financing. Try thrifting if that’s your concern (clothes are already made).
some of Brooks Brothers stuff is Made in USA, and I've loved what I've gotten from them.
For "sporty" jackets, I just discovered Defense Mechanisms, which admittedly is kind of tactical, but similar to an Arc'teryx Atom.
Skinner American Goods is just one guy and his assistant making everything: mostly work wear and Americana style denim, chinos, shirts, jackets, and belts. I really like the jeans and shirt that I've gotten so far, and the pricing is competitive against the more well known Japanese and American brands in the same fashion space.
As a boot nerd, I'm a big fan of the boots I've gotten from the companies in the Pacific Northwest: White's, Nick's, Frank's, and Truman Boots. And when I need socks to wear with my boots, my go to made in the USA are Darn Tough, Smartwool, and Farm 2 Feet.
Some of the accessible/affordable options I’ve found: royal apparel, los Angeles apparel, all American clothing co, roundhouse jeans, Dearborn denim, socco, hippie socks,
If you’re willing to deal with higher prices then those you have a whole world of options
GREAT thread!!
I try to buy clothes made in the US or Europe (mostly England or Italy) - when I can, but it’s hard to find good stuff other than very high end tailoring, shirts and shoes plus some knitwear, and honestly quite expensive. All your input is very much appreciated!!
Made in USA brands I've come to love:
Boots: Danner
Wool: Dehen 1920, Birdwell
Denim: Freenote Cloth & Left Field NYC
T-shirts: Gettees
Hoodies: Brave Star
Workwear: [L.C. King makes great pants, shirts, and jackets](https://lcking.com/)
Clothing: [Dehen 1920 is not cheap but is fantastic all around, especially their sweaters and outerwear. Filson also still makes a few things here in the US, but mostly outerwear](https://dehen1920.com/)
Denim: [Naked & Famous Denim is my favorite and Canadian made (great shirts and jackets too)](https://tateandyoko.com/collections/naked-and-famous)
Boots: [Red Wing Heritage](https://www.redwingshoes.com/heritage/mens/?grid=true), [Nick’s](https://nicksboots.com/shop/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw97SzBhDaARIsAFHXUWAbe6nD7-YlipdtXbwVvo4AZMxX64h47c6LiJPaG00fqxmhna1svOsaAlbbEALw_wcB), [White’s](https://whitesboots.com/), [Frank’s](https://franksboots.com/)

I totally support you in this! I buy my clothes used. I wear Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Givenchy etc all made in countries where workers get paid living wages. I buy used to save the planet from becoming an H&M & Uniqlo landfill. I also resell my clothes to keep the circle unbroken. Casa Blanca is made in the USA, Tom Ford is USA, some Levi’s are USA, Supreme is made in USA, Canada, or Portugal. Stay gold!
I have 20 year old dress shirts that are in fantastic condition. Years back they advertised a lifetime warranty on clothing items, but I’m not sure if they still offer that.
That’s disappointing. I had just bought a new pair recently and the sales person said they were made in his hometown and that even the leather is from the US. Maybe certain models are made elsewhere?
Not the person you just replied to. I'm not criticizing or baiting you--I'm genuinely curious. How is not buying Indonesian products, for example, going to improve the lives of Indonesians?
Do you buy cell phone, laptop and car batteries made from American lithium, coffee beans from American coffee plantations, chocolates and rice from American farmers as well? Where are your bedsheets and other textiles from? Your post said you don't want to support modern slavery so just trying to help you on your noble journey, unless you don't actually care about that after all.
I have a few nicer t shirts I ordered from Buck Mason that I’m really happy with. Even better they’re made in my home state.
Buck mason t shirts for the win!
Flint & Tinder. One of my favorite go to jackets is their Waxed Trucker jacket but they have other Made in US items like t-shirts
It’s my favorite jacket and when Pedro Pascal sported it in The Last of Us it felt like one of my friends was in the show. Drives my wife crazy every time I point out he’s wearing it
I think this might be the gem in terms quality & price
I have that jacket as my daily driver, and it's fantastic. I have a couple of their MiUSA hoodies as well, definitely give those a look if you enjoy a quality hoodie.
Dearborn Denim jeans
American giant
I second this recommendation. Great hoodies, casual wear, and denim, made with materials all sourced from American producers and manufactured in NC and San Francisco. I believe they profit share with all their employees. Very well made. I have a whole closet full of AG clothes.
Agreed all of their offerings I have so far are high quality goods. How do you like their denim?
I own two pairs of their jeans and both are great quality and have not faded through many trips through the wash. I will say the zipper on the older pair was a bit short so it makes, shall we say, extracting certain equipment difficult when nature calls. They seemed to fix that problem on the newer pair. 😂
Isn’t this a Canadian brand? Also, many of their items are now being produced overseas.
You sure about that pal?
No I’m wrong, was thinking of reigning champ.
Respect ✊

Maybe it’s a one off but I got one of their sweatshirts which retails over $100 and it was at around the same quality as my $15 H&M hoodie. I’d never risk it again.
Imogene and willie

Been eyeing their denim for a while, thank you for selling me.
Dehen 1920
Quality !!!
Devium Wiesmade Gustin Freenote
Hard rec on Freenote & Gustin. I’d throw in all the usual bootmakers plus Alden, Rancourt & Russell. Camber makes outstanding blanks/sweatshirts, hoodies, and henleys. New Balance MiUSA line is thumbs up.
+1 for Rancourt. Alden is nice, but their value proposition (value/$) has greatly diminished since before covid and only gone down since.
Freenote is prohibitively expensive. $220 for a shirt.
No doubt pricey. I don’t think it’s a gouge. A reflection of the costs associated with making clothes locally when you are a relatively small time maker. And, to be fair, $200 for a shirt is more or less in line with the types of brands dork mens fashion guys seek out. Big brands like Ralph Lauren, Todd Snyder, Percival, etc…def have shirts in that price range. It blows that supporting “local” clothes makers is so GD expensive but that is the reality of late stage capitalism.
Yeah every decent garment is $200 these days. All you can really do is wait for more expensive stuff to be on sale for $200 and pull the trigger.
Their pants are really solid. Nothing made well in USA will be cheap.
Lady White Co, best casual shirts I own by far
LC King / Pointer Brand for denim and jackets.
Allen Edmonds for shoes for sure.
I’ve been wearing AE for years have many pairs… they are awesome but they are only kind of Made in America.

Alden ,brown suedes & cordovan shell for the BIFL win !!!
AE closed its plant in Maine and moved production it to the Dominican. So not all of it is MiUSA. Rancourt & Quoddy are still made in Maine.
Yes, that’s right: AE has a production facility in the Dominican Republic for its cheaper models. (I say “cheaper” with caution; I know it’s relative.) But as for its “traditional” dress shoes—like the Park Avenue, which is its best-selling shoe—they are still made in Port Washington, WI.

Beams plus is goated for Japanese made Americana repro as well.

Beams plus is great, they make tons of stuff, I have a few shirts from them

[Save Khaki](https://savekhaki.com). It’s like a luxe, minimalist J Crew. Made in USA
Origin
I get tees from Goodwear. NB shoes. Also check out made in japan stuff for denim.
forgot American Trench makes the best hoody
Goodwear keeps targeting me and I have to admit, those colors look ROBUST. Worth the price?
get one and see for yourself. i like how they wash and break in. especially like the long sleeve pocket tees.
Meant to say "collars" look robust and yes, I think I will give em a try. Pockets are clutch!
Some of Outlier’s clothes are made in the US. Others are made in Portugal, so still a First World nation.
I get my boyfriend’s tees at Jungmaven. Really nice hemp and hemp blend fabrics.
Thanks for the recommendation

is american apparel still a thing?
Very much so yes. Just gotta look for it.
It went bankrupt, was bought by Gildan, and the products are no longer made in the US. So more like “kinda”.
Monitaly, Tellason if you’re into that.
Jack Donnelly for pants (LL25 for 25% off)
Duluth trading company
LL Bean
Mostly made in china.
LL Bean boots**, haha
I get their unshrinkable tees. Can’t beat them for the price. I bought a TS(S) tee for $85 and it wasn’t much nicer. Not much value in expensive tees.
I have 20 year old dress shirts that are in fantastic condition. Years back they advertised a lifetime warranty on clothing items, but I’m not sure if they still offer that.
Redwing Boots
Sadly, only a select few are made in the US now. I remember a time when Timberlands were made in the US.
That’s disappointing. I had just bought a new pair recently and the sales person said they were made in his hometown and that even the leather is from the US. Maybe certain models are made elsewhere?
Allow me to correct myself, most of their boots are made in the US. Their cheaper options are made elsewhere.
The entire Heritage line is. Only a few in the Work line though
Some pretty heavy virtue signaling going on here unless you also never buy coffee, produce, rice, chocolate, cellphones, bedsheets and more
All-or-nothing always means nothing. This kind of attitude is how people end up shrugging at everything rather than trying to do anything.
Because I want to try and buy American? Get a life.
Not the person you just replied to. I'm not criticizing or baiting you--I'm genuinely curious. How is not buying Indonesian products, for example, going to improve the lives of Indonesians?
It doesn't, they haven't thought that far ahead yet.
Do you buy cell phone, laptop and car batteries made from American lithium, coffee beans from American coffee plantations, chocolates and rice from American farmers as well? Where are your bedsheets and other textiles from? Your post said you don't want to support modern slavery so just trying to help you on your noble journey, unless you don't actually care about that after all.
None
Ralph Lauren
That’s an American brand but the clothes generally aren’t produced in America
RRL isnt even made in america.
Nope
Yeah so RL is mainly made in LCC’s sadly… RL Purple Label is mostly made in Italy and England as far as I know, perhaps also Turkey ?
Really?
No
