We've been knitting a long time and are just getting onto socials. For America's 250th we knit a Made in America throw with 13 stars and 13 stripes in the cloth (yarn, not print) in New Jersey. Happy to answer how flat knitting / Made in USA textile labeling works.

I'm working with a new women's boardshort brand.

We're launching after an initial super small market test of about 100 pairs.

This (admittedly small) test was fantastic with near instant sellout and fabulous feedback from our buyers. So, we're gearing up for a larger run and a bigger test.

Our original small manufacturer in LA won't be able to handle this next one so we need a new manufacturer. Obviously, looking to do everything in the US.

Grateful for any recs (including self promotion if you're good).

I know of a handful of companies like Schott and Cockpit USA that make much of their leather jackets in the US unless specified otherwise.

I waited too long to post this cause they’re all sold out except for the XXLs but still wanted to share it. This was a batch of oddly thick deerskin (guessing the hides plumped a bit at the tannery or they split it too thick and didn’t realize it) either way it also came out greenish in color. The suede side though was incredible looking, super even tone, and soft as butter.

American whitetail deerskin btw

Any everyday (non-froofy, sexy, or see-through) women’s underwear recommendations that won’t break the bank? I can’t stomach paying $30+ for a single pair.

Apparently they got a leather batch that was slightly out of spec for their intended use, so they made these. There is a Labor Day code too for other stuff but these are the best deal. Made in Bend, OR.

I got this black 1" width Nohma leather belt for my daughter. It looks great, and it is Made in the USA. They also sell Mens belts, wallets, leather bags, and rifle slings. Here's the website: https://nohmaleather.com

I noticed while checking something while replying to another Reddit thread that Philips Sonicare Toothbrush Replacement heads are made in the USA. I'm not sure about the actual Philips Sonicare toothbrush (I assume made in Indonesia, if their electric razors are any indication), but the replacement heads are definitely made in america. If anyone's in the market for an electric toothbrush, this is an option to go Made in USA in the long-term.

I run a heritage clothing brand called Dust & Loom. Every jacket is made from 100% natural fabrics and is hand-cut and sewn by me in Florida.

The Barn Jacket is 14oz duck canvas with a brushed flannel lining and leather trim at the collar and cuff.

The Denim jacket is 13.5oz selvedge with corduroy trim at the collar and pocket edges.

Every jacket gets a production number sewn onto a veg-tan leather patch, and a handwritten care tag.

I have detailed breakdowns of each of my jackets on my website that highlight the materials and their origin, the construction details, as well as the inspiration for each jacket. I'd be happy to answer any questions on these jackets!

I am looking for a stainless steel hand sieve, around 3 or less inches. I have been searching and most sites say imported. Any help is appreciated!

So I see lot of manufacturing in usa but all I see is clothing or sports and the manufacturer itself sells the product under their brand name.

I am trying to figure out manufacturing which allows wholesale sourcing without their brand logo so the product can be used or sold without brand name of manufacturer

What industries are there which usa has upper hand ?

Howdy folks, I am a woman in my 40s, living in Vermont with four kids, and lately I’ve gone down a rabbit hole wondering just how much of the stuff around us comes from Chinese wholesale marketplaces.

I mean this may sound weird but I actually starting digging and I was wondering if like almost everything we purchase really does come from some online chinese wholesale marketplace. We all know about Amazon, Alibaba, 1688, AliExpress, etc., but I’m curious about the things we don’t realize are being sourced from them. Especially a lot of the kitchen gadgets or even items that are being sold by third party distributors here in the US and therefore we actually might not really know that it is made in China.

My whole perspective is that there are certain things like kitchen gadgets or items that we use to prepare food that I am quite paranoid about and just want to make sure it is safe for the kids.
For those of you who source products, work in retail, or have gone digging into this stuff, what surprised you most? Are there entire product categories that are basically dominated by Chinese wholesale suppliers without consumers realizing it?

Would love to hear your discoveries!

Being a adult is stupid, on one in my office has asked how fast I can run in my new shoes. But in all reality these look good and are comfortable.

I have recently invented what I believe to be a new ideology. Please come offer any thoughts. I will answer everything I can, to my best ability. Unlike politicians..

I know this probably isn’t norm for this sub, but I’d still like to put it out there. All these thoughts were 100% American made.

Im trying to make 600 ABS clips for field testing before a larger hardened tool makes sense. Quickparts, Protolabs and Xometry are the rapid Injection molding providers I keep seeomg in Google. Which company is the most consistent if a few months go by between orders?

Thank you in advance
