It’s no secret that our country ’tis of thee is turning 250 years old this July 4. You’re probably stocking up on fireworks; figuring out your grilling plan; ordering red, white, and blue roses (these ones are our faves!); and sending out pool party invites as we speak, but it’s also a good idea to honor the Land of the Free by shopping the best “made in the USA” fashion brands — a lineup that’s smaller, and thus more exclusive, than you think.

Why Brooks' New Ghost Max 4 Sneaker Is a Godsend for Casual Runners

To qualify for the designation, a given product has to be “all or virtually all” manufactured in the United States, per the Federal Trade Commission, which weeds out many labels vying for that “American-made” title to distinguish themselves from the pack.

In the sartorial world, brands like Buck Mason, American Giant, Todd Shelton, New Balance (but only its specific “Made in USA” collection), Red Wing Shoes, Filson, Shinola, Save Khaki, and Imogene + Willie are giving buyers a chance to circumnavigate the effects of import tariffs while placing well-deserved attention on the United States’ native manufacturing narrative.

Other benefits of buying made-in-America fashions include knowing that your button-up or pair of retro sneakers was crafted according to ethical labor practices, stringent environmental regulations, and demanding manufacturing guidelines that will ensure your purchase truly lasts a lifetime. The fact that the pieces don’t require a commercial freighter or cargo vessel to get them stateside also means they have a reduced carbon footprint.

Good for you, good for the planet — a standard that you should apply to your closet overhauls more frequently.

Below, the nine best fashion brands that base their production in the U.S. and the top picks we recommend shopping from them ahead of the national birthday bash.

American Giant

“When you buy American Giant, you create jobs for seamsters, cutters, and factory workers in towns and cities across the U.S.,” the born-in-2012 brand shares on its website. Re-opening once-shuttered factories and thus breathing new purpose into previously vibrant communities, American Giant is seeking to reverse the impacts of offshoring while letting customers experience the made-local difference firsthand.

Straightforward, versatile, and, best of all, built for years and years of devoted wear, American Giant’s bestsellers encompass its “Greatest Hoodie Ever Made,” Rib Tank for women, straight-leg men’s denim, and beyond.

Dive right in to curate your dream ‘fit for the Fourth.

Buck Mason

Menswear mecca Buck Mason prides itself on “manufactur[ing] entirely domestic, American-made products,” at Buck Mason Knitting Mills, located in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. The premise is simple: Buck Mason has given new life to a circa-1873 textile millinery that once produced the majority of American clothing.

Now, the brand uses the space to make its “grown and sewn in the USA” slub, pima, and toughknit shirts — sourcing the cotton from farms across California, Texas, and Georgia, only to let its knitting mill professionals handle the rest.

“The T-shirt is not just a uniquely American classic; it’s our first love,” Buck Mason says. Go ahead and fall head over heels for these styles.

Todd Shelton

The only three things Todd Shelton sells? Blue jeans, button-ups, and crewneck tees, because there’s beauty in taking it back to the basics. The brand’s manifesto is as follows: “The collection is small by design. The products do not change. The purpose is to simplify the customer’s relationship with his clothing.”

Refreshing? Certainly, considering just how saturated the market is with fashion houses that lack a streamlined set of values and so spread themselves too thin (buying caviar from the same place you get your cashmere cardis, anyone?), failing to specialize in and perfect any one category.

Prices here are higher than average, but think of each buy as a one-and-done investment. After all, you won’t be needing another pair of jeans after trying out Todd Shelton’s.

Imogene + Willie

Small-batch clothing maker Imogene + Willie might’ve had its origins in Nashville, but it quickly made inroads into the homes of shoppers nationwide (and then worldwide) — now beloved for T-shirts composed of regeneratively farmed cotton and classic denim that only gets better with each wash.

“We still believe in making garments with substance that transcend simple trends, and more importantly, we remain steadfastly committed to making everything here in United States,” Imogene + Willie proclaims in its mission statement.

A tight-knit team of 12 sewers is responsible for all the thoughtful designs you’ll discover at Imogene + Willie, with some styles, like the canvas totes, even coming from a special place called the Sewing Training Academy: created by the brand to equip Nashville residents with valuable sewing skills.

Red Wing Shoes

Founded over a century ago in Red Wing, Minnesota, Red Wing Shoes remains a go-to destination — still family-owned and operating inside the same town — for heavy-duty footwear that never compromises on true craftsmanship. The detail-obsessed brand’s Heritage line is 100-percent USA-made and ideal for either technical wear (read: toe protection and insulation) or everyday pursuits.

Women will also find a lot to enjoy as part of Red Wing’s collection, such as moc oxfords, heeled boots, and short boots formed from Minnesota-sourced leather.

Dupes? Red Wing’s not familiar with the concept.

New Balance

To continue the footwear streak, here’s New Balance’s “Made in USA” capsule for the taking, “constructed with authentic American craftsmanship for over 75 years.” Each item has a domestic value of 70 percent or more, making the cut based on the FTC’s parameters and garnering an impressive fan club of New Balance loyalists who prefer shopping local.

The selections, made in multiple New England factories, are updated like clockwork with seasonal colorways and feature the occasional apparel sighting, too, like woven jackets, sweatpants, and sporty-casual tops for pairing with your new, patriotic kicks.

Go support one of the last remaining athletic footwear manufacturers that maintains U.S. production — a win for New Balance and a win for your shoe rack.

Save Khaki

Meet Save Khaki United, a contemporary lifestyle brand whose silhouettes are understated, minimalist, and just what you need for building out a timeless capsule wardrobe.

Everything on offer at Save Khaki comes from its vertically integrated Los Angeles factory, which utilizes domestic textiles (though the brand is very transparent about this not being the case in select instances). One thing to be certain of: Save Khaki dyes and finishes every last piece out of California, where environmental codes of conduct are strict and unyielding.

Of particular note is Save Khaki’s heavy emphasis on Supima cotton, grown only in the southwestern United States. Vivid, durable, and pill-proof, it’s something you’ll rush to put on every morning.

That’s a promise.

Filson

Premier American fashion label Filson was established in 1897, with the intention of outfitting Gold Rush prospectors. Filson’s present-day one-liner? “Unfailing Goods,” made for backcountry exploration, hunting, logging, or simply savoring time outdoors while staying protected from whatever curveball nature might throw your way.

Filson promises that “high standards of quality and human welfare are maintained” in its Seattle factory, which extends to the animals involved in constructing its top-rated wool and down wares.

Meant to be passed down from one generation of outdoorsmen to the next, Filson’s finest will do everything but disappoint.

Shinola

Detroit-based luxury design brand Shinola can be credited with resuscitating American watchmaking and helping bring dignity back to Detroit manufacturing. Its artisanal timepieces are all hand-assembled from Swiss and other imported parts; in recent years, the company has also ventured into jewelry, pet accessories, leather-forward tote bags, and other beacons of artistic excellence.

The Shinola Runabout Watch remains our editors’ top choice for women’s gold watches, but we encourage you to deck out your jewelry box and closet with more crowd favorites from the Shinola headquarters.

(It’s the first U.S. watch factory of its size in over 50 years, we’ll have you know.)
