FAQ
What qualifies a t-shirt to be “Made in the USA?”
If a t-shirt was made in the USA, it means it was manufactured right here in the United States. This process can begin with the gathering or cutting of materials, and continue through stitching and final assembly. When you're looking for USA-made t-shirts, we have several options available for you. Many of our best-selling wholesale brands are proud to manufacture their garments in the United States, using American labor and often American materials, like cotton! If you're looking for locally (within the States) made t-shirts for your nonprofit, print shop, or brand merchandise, this is what to look for.
Are American-made t-shirts better than imported garments?
A lot depends on the manufacturer itself. While there are some American-made products that are superior quality when compared to others, the same is true for imported t-shirts. Quality can vary greatly between products in both American-made and imported options. The quality of materials, manufacturing standards, and product testing principles can all impact the overall quality of the garment.
That's why we have chosen to partner with the brands we offer. We know you can rely on each one of these labels for top-notch quality, durability, and overall garment experience.
Do wholesale American made t-shirts cost more than imports?
Not necessarily. Much depends on the quality of materials, labor, and manufacturing practices. Of course, it varies with every brand, but it's not too difficult to find American-made or sourced brands that won't break the bank.
