It's World Shoemakers Day, and I couldn't shake off the memory of the man who once told me to abandon the idea of making shoes because it is dirty work. A path he saw fit to question as if the craft that brought me joy and purpose was somehow a mark against me. As much as I have been praised for doing this work, I have been put down much more for it. I chuckled at the audacity of those who believed they could strip away my wow factor as if my identity could be bartered. If only they knew that shoemaking isn't just a skill; it is a symbol of resilience, a reminder of the problem-solving teenager who dipped her toes into the world of shoes to address a need at her secondary school. Shoemaking isn't just a craft; it is my response to a problem, my initiative to make a difference. In those moments of creativity, I discovered the power of my hands—the power to shape my destiny and the destiny of those around me. Shoemaking isn't just a profession; it is a silent rebellion against the notion that a woman's aspirations could be boxed into societal expectations. It is the essence of who I am—a woman with the skill and passion to craft, create, and leave an indelible mark on the world. As World Shoemakers Day is commemorated today, I am reminded that it's not just about making shoes; it's about owning my narrative, defying expectations, and leaving an imprint that transcends societal norms. #FeyisayomiJ

Steven Kurutz, author of the book “American Flannel,” talks about the story today during the National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) 20th anniversary Annual Meeting at The Watergate Hotel in #Washington, D.C. He has been a features reporter for The New York Times for more than a decade.  “American Flannel” is described as “the little-engine-that-could story of how a band of scrappy entrepreneurs are reviving the enterprise of manufacturing clothing in the United States.” For decades, textile and apparel manufacturing was a pillar of U.S. industry. But beginning in the 1980s, Americans went from wearing 70 percent domestic-made apparel to almost none. Even the very symbol of American freedom and style – blue jeans – got outsourced. With offshoring, the nation lost not only millions of jobs but also crucial expertise and artistry.   Dismayed by shoddy imported “fast fashion” – and unable to stop dreaming of re-creating a favorite shirt from his youth – Bayard Winthrop set out to build a new company, American Giant, that would swim against this trend. Kurutz, in turn, began to follow Winthrop’s journey. James W. McKinnon of NCTO member Cotswold Industries Inc. was also a source for the story. Kurutz discovered other trailblazers as well, from the “Sock Queen of Alabama” to a pair of father-son shoemakers and a men’s style blogger who almost single-handedly drove a campaign to make “Made in the USA” cool. “American Flannel” is the story of how a band of visionaries and makers are building a new supply chain on the skeleton of the old and wedding old-fashioned craftsmanship to cutting-edge technology and design to revive an essential American dream. #AmericanTextiles #WeMakeAmazing #Yarns #Fibers #Textiles #Weaving #Knitting #Fabrics #MadeInAmerica #MadeInUSA #Nearshoring #Reshoring
