AG jeans were always made in America but now I'm seeing some that are made in Mexico from American fabric and those never fit me!

Good luck finding anything made here. Such a shame.

It's going to take a lot of people jumping on the 'buy American' bandwagon for this to happen. Call centers, billing centers and manufacturing centers can be done in other countries for pennies on the dollar what they can be done in America. Until Americans realize this and quit buying from companies that manufacture or do business elsewhere, it's not going to change.

We need to make sure our representatives know how we feel also - they are the ones that cut the deals so that manufacturing goes off shore because of tax breaks and incentatives. Manufacturing needs not to be demonized...

If we don't have manufacturing on thiese shores - then who will have the money to buy this import stuff?

Really there is more than you think...just Google or Bing women's clothing in USA....lots still there, and the selection on Etsy for children is really awesome.

It is hard to find in a regular store...but online...quite easy!

I forgot to add that Susan Graver has talked about several of her pieces being made in USA...Chico's and Talbots..also but it is hit/miss.

Yes, I agree but, then they would not be going "GLOBAL"

It is a hit or miss. And it really should not be.

I do buy from American Apparel...made in downtown LA, USA!! There are still a few companies producing American-made goods, you just have to research them.

Most of the garment factories are closed in the US! There are many designers who would LOVE to use US made/grown/manufactured goods, but the infrastructure does not exist any longer. I recently searched high and low for a pair of American made winter boots. As a result, i have been on "backorder" for three months while LL Bean reduces their backlog. Yes, i am temporarily inconvenienced, but I know I will have those boots for a very long time. Unfortunately, not all of their products are produced in the US any more.
