Looking to discover some clothing brands to buy from that actually make their clothes in the USA?

You’re in the right place. We’re going to show you our favorite brands, making both women’s and men’s clothing.

In 1960, about 95 percent of clothes purchased in the USA were made here. 

Now, only around 2% of clothing purchased in America is actually Made in the USA.

There has been a massive shift away from Made in the USA clothing, for a variety of reasons. Cost is a driving factor – it’s cheaper to produce clothes abroad. Another big factor is the growth of fast fashion. We consume more clothes per year than ever before, and Made in the USA brands aren’t able to produce at the capacity needed for this as they can’t produce clothes as cheaply as you could abroad.

Luckily, there are a host of brands popping up all over the USA to bring things back to basics, sustainably making clothes in the USA to help us reduce waste and support local artisans and designers.

Shopping from these local, Made in the USA clothing brands is an excellent way to support local businesses, without compromising on style.

We’ve curated this list of very the best made in the USA clothing brands. 

We’ll include both menswear and womenswear.

Let’s jump in.

1. Vetta

Vetta has been making their clothes in the USA for over 30 years. Their woven clothes are made in NYC, and sweaters knitted by a partner factory in Los Angeles.

One of the most interesting parts of Vetta’s approach to fashion is how they curate their clothes into capsules of 5 items each.

With these 5 items, you can build a month’s worth of outfits. You can purchase the capsule as a whole, or individually.

Either way, the goal is to help you spend less time choosing an outfit in the morning, and more time enjoying your day.
