Much of what you see whit a "Made in the USA" label is manufactured by the
slave labor force of inmates.
Dig a little deeper.

I've been on the DU since 04. I have posted 100's of made in USA items over the years. Instead of being so negative, try reading the vast info about the company on their web pages. Go ahead and dig and report back here.
I've been buying from them for years. This is a great company.
And where are your current jeans made?

4) Are your products made in the USA? YES, our products are made in the USA. Our products are currently made in Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Texas and Wisconsin! We meet and exceed all requirements set by the FTC (click here to visit the FTC)
"All American Clothing Co. competes in an industry that is considered to be 97% foreign made. Thus we receive emails on a daily basis asking if we are truly in the top 3% of USA Made apparel manufactures. Patrons constantly question us about raw goods and labor. I certainly cannot fault buyers for asking.... but the truth is we are one of the few that can legally claim to be USA Made. We exceed the Federal Trade Commissions strictest of rules. The backing offered by Made in USA Certified consistently helps us to satisfy our patrons that we are being honest, compliant and well within the FTC Act's conditions/rules. USA Made products and jobs are important and Made in USA Certified helps us to give comfort to the patrons that they are getting a genuine USA Made product."

And the majority of what I buy comes from thrift store or local seamstresses.
I try to only buy local economy and support the many local talented people right here

Q) How do you accurately trace the process from beginning to end?
A) Bales of cotton are marked with a permanent bale identifier (PBI) as they are ginned and it relates back to the producer's farm number. This number is retained on the bale until the bale is consumed at the textile mill to produce yarn. The yarn produced at the mill carries the same identification number through the entire process that creates denim fabric. Use of PBI numbers allow us to trace the cotton all the way from the farm, to the gin, to the mill, to All American Clothing and finally into your closet!
Q) Why so many farm locations?
A) Cotton from several fields may be needed in order to consistently produce a specific type of denim. The quality attributes of cotton are affected by climate, soil, seed and producer growing options so each field will provide different quality attributes to the cotton blend. The exact quality of the multiple cottons and the percentage of a specific cotton used is extremely important to the development of various denims. Blending the cotton from many locations allows us to put out identical and consistent runs of the same denim formula. By using permanent bale identifiers to trace the cotton we know exactly how much cotton from each farm was used to produce each run of denim. Every location shown on the traceability map played a part in the denim used to produce the jeans you are wearing. And every location uses USA labor.
