Why can’t we make a t-shirt in the USA for $10? Here’s why!
Can we make a t-shirt in America for $10? I've been posing these types of questions to our audience on Instagram lately with a content series I like to call Slow Fashion Math. Exposing the real costs of making clothes in America, specifically at our new small factory we call The Youniverse (in Missoula Montana) has become a passion of mine. Maybe I'm a 'made in usa' martyr, it remains to be seen. In an era when it seems like USA-Made brands and factories are closing everywhere we turn, I thought some insight into the extraordinary costs and challenges associated with domestic manufacturing would strike up conversation with our audience. And it has! If you want to see what kind of content I'm talking about, here's a 60 second explanation of why we can't make a $10 t-shirt. https://lnkd.in/gusyPDz5
