American Apparel was doing it in LA and the prices were competitive. They eventually went bankrupt and got acquired by Gildan but it was working well for a time πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

They can't have been working that well if they went bankrupt.

there were... management issues.

I remember reading an interview with the founder in...I think VICE? Print magazine form. Like 20 years ago or so?

It talked some about the economics of making clothing in the US and all, but mostly I remember the guy having his secretary suck him off during the interview. So yeah...management issues.

So true and a damn shame. It's such an unfortunate blight

It was 2017 in LA. Despacito was rocking hard at #2 on the Billboards. Of course drugs were involved.

Maybe, but who fucking cares about the capitalists? We got nice and reasonably priced tshirts and other clothing that were MaDe In ThE UsA.

American Apparel was relaunched as Los Angeles Apparel and is very successful and working out of the same location as the original.
