Discuss the wholesale blanks industry: Factory direct, custom labels. You can also use this forum to locate a wide variety of wholesale products including t-shirts, hoodies, mousepads, coffee mugs and other imprintable products.
I have had more and more customers lately asking me about creating my designs on toddler and youth blanks made in the USA. As a business based in the USA I want to be supported locally and want to support other local businesses as well.
I know that American Apparel is made in the USA, but I found found their sizing to be smaller than retail sizing and I have heard that they shrink A LOT.
Does anyone know of anyone else that is USA made that I should maybe check out?
I am not sure but you might want to look into union made, they are all made by union workers in the usa but I dont know if they carry toddler and youth, if you do a search at the top of the forum in the search bar for union made you should be able to find a link
