Its pretty easy to print tshirts inside the US… its not like semiconductor manufacturing.
T-shirts made in the US are going to be much more expensive than Chinese T-shirts.
American Apparel was doing it in LA and the prices were competitive. They eventually went bankrupt and got acquired by Gildan but it was working well for a time 🤷♂️
They can't have been working that well if they went bankrupt.
there were... management issues.
I remember reading an interview with the founder in...I think VICE? Print magazine form. Like 20 years ago or so?
It talked some about the economics of making clothing in the US and all, but mostly I remember the guy having his secretary suck him off during the interview. So yeah...management issues.
