Hoping to add one of their Tensaw jackets to the collection this year.



Sadly, many Filson products no longer make the cut. (Tho I still like them)

My most recent pair of jeans came from them. Not super expensive (compared to other US brands), if you wait for a sale. They are pretty nice. One unique thing about them is the front pockets are denim.

Diamond Gusset jeans, Snap-On and Redback socks are really nice USA made products. USA made leather belts are all I have, luckily there are still lots of choices for belts.

BTT…

After several months of searching around, my patience was rewarded and I scored the Tensaw at a heavily discounted price. It wasn’t my first color choice, but at the price and basically ‘tried on once’- like condition, the Rye Brown will do just fine thank you very much. It’s actually better in person…more of a warm milk chocolate brown and kinda versatile.

Couple other American made brands I’ve snagged an item or two from: Kitanica, Flint & Tinder and Bradley Mountain.

Tin Duck and Ship John are on the bucket list.

Anyhow, Tensaw….the opening example is Rye Brown.



Life is short…at least one top drawer quality jacket is probably something every man should have in the closet. Quality watch and maybe boots as well.

$.02 worth.

I have a couple of Filson coats that will last multiple life times. Much of their stuff now is not USA made.

A horrible story but when I was a young man about 18. I rented a converted woodshed from an old man who was a great man in his 80's. He lived in a mobile right across the drive from me.
He died and his family came and a nasty women threw his old hat and Filson coat on a fire they had to destroy some of his stuff. When she did that it instantly horrified and angered me in such a way I really wanted to hurt them. He wore those two items every day. I will never forget that.

This is a link to a website that has many categories of made in usa items.

Just a question. Have the tariffs put a dent in imported clothing?
My grandfather was an immigrant tailor and he taught me how to look for quality in clothing.

camelcity mill socks made in the Carolinas.

Ruddock shirts made in El Paso. They often use US textiles, but sometimes foreign fabric. They're definitely more Western in design, but they often have stuff like aloha shirts. Fairly easy to find on-sale via website.LINK

Short answer is probably no. It takes time to evaluate what capital is available to invest, make a decision, plan either or both a labor or facility expansion, maybe run utilities, find workers, train them, retain them, issue RFPs for machinery, sign contracts, wait for delivery, get machinery delivered, set up, test run, oh and sell the coming products. And by comparison to MegaChine, the American companies doing textile’s and clothing are very small.

A longer answer is that completely separate from wages and regulatory costs, the specialized industrial cities that China has constructed have a locale and expertise advantage that is hard for Americans to contemplate or understand.

North Carolina has textile mills. But they may have to get fabric from California. And machinery from Ohio. Except the belt that drives that important machine is made in Michigan. And nuts and bolts are from …

Everything needed in a Chinese clothing city is in that city. From nuts and bolts to the machinery maker to the cloth mill and even that belt maker that runs the machine is literally right down the street. And the city has a deep water port.

And the entire industrial city can run 24 hours a day if wanted.

Birdwell Beach Britches makes boardshorts and some jackets in the USA, bought the retro light blue windbreaker with racing stripes and it's one of my favorites.

Not affiliated with this company at all. I learned about them watching Rogan with Jacko. Check out Originusa. I'm hooked. Watch Pete Roberts' VLOGS on youtube. He's a great American. He's trying to bring back more and more American made products. I own boots,pants,jeans and T's from them.

I don't have any items, but Dearborn Denim is interesting:

<rant on> I have checked on all of the above posts that interest me. NONE of them have the TALL sizes that I need. None. <rant off>

While I don't personally know, I can guess the V-Tail, like me, is tall enough that though exhausting experience we need Tall sizes.

I guess the shirts more-or-less stop getting longer at a certain point?

I can sort of relate, as I am 6'2" and ~165LBS. I wear an XL shirt, and they're perhaps a little baggier than might be ideal, but I have grown accustomed to it.

Is the "tall sizes" dilemma more problematic in shirts than in pants?

I need 36" inseam for pants. Same (36") sleeve length for shirts. Looking for a light or medium weight unlined denim jacket, but no joy on the sleeve length.
