        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 🤷‍♂️

              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.
