We still have Carhartt made in America (close out as Carhartt is not made in the USA any longer)



We, at All USA Clothing.com have been big fans of Carhartt's quality clothing since we first opened for business. We know many of you have grown up feeling pride in this American company. We are disappointed that they have ceased production of their American Union made clothing.

In an effort to make sure that we could provide you with Carhartt for as long as possible, we have bought almost all of their remaining inventory. Stock up now on jeans and jackets before they are all gone.

You can click on the Carhartt logo to go directly to our selection of products available.

Thank you for being a loyal customer of All USA Clothing.com. We will continue to provide you quality apparel ALWAYS made in America.

Sincerely,
--The Team at All USA Clothing.com

About Us
All USA Clothing began operating over 25 years ago. Our goal is to provide the finest American and Union Made Clothing. We carry brands such as Carhartt (American/Union made only), King Louie America, Union Line, AKWA/Sun Moda (American made only), Wigwam, Cactus Fashions and others. From those companies we carry Jeans, T-Shirts, Shirts, Polo Shirts, Coats, Jackets and socks. We are proud to also carry an extensive selection of Ladies American made clothing. We not only want to support the American Worker but also anyone who wants to wear clothing made in the US.

In addition, we are a Union Embroidery, Embossing, Screen Printing and Heat Pressing facility. We can replicate and/or produce any design logo to satisfy your needs. Our facility is set up to handle projects from single to tens of thousands of piece orders.

You can check us out on many important websites that help support American products such as:

* Devvy.com
* Made in USA.org
* Still Made in USA.com
* American Made Yes.com
* Find US Made.com
* Made Here In America.com
* An American Footprint
* Union News

Please find below a letter written by Rick at Viking Tool and Engineering in Whitehall, MI. We felt that is was very relevant to our economy:

BUY AMERICAN?
...Please consider the power that you have when spending your dollars. Know that recycling your dollars when buying American Made products has a compounding effect on the US economy and the American worker. When you send your dollar overseas that dollar leaves our economy and supports another countries economy.

Spending American dollars on American products creates and saves American jobs.
America needs to keep jobs for goods here in the USA for many reasons. One obvious reason is employment. But maybe you already have a job and don't really care? Well, with the volatility in today’s economy, it brings new meaning to “the job you save might be your own”. Statistics show that for every one manufacturing job there are 6 to 10 other jobs tied to it. Wages for working Americans have plummeted 19% since 1972, in relation to the cost of living - about the same time we entered into a so-called "global economy."

America needs more than "Service Jobs". Those jobs are great, but how many of us can work service jobs and still support a good lifestyle? Most service jobs and retail sales jobs do not pay as much as a skilled labor job.

Have you thought about how other countries are developing now? They are riding the wave of our appetite for cheap goods. Our money is going to places that often times do not like us, our money is building their infrastructure, our money is building their military, our money is raising their quality of life and education. Of course, some of this is good. But what about us? We need to bring some balance back on our side.

When you buy American, the materials and labor are provided by American suppliers and American workers, who use the latest technologies and are paid a fair wage for their labor. When you buy American, you help to keep our economy strong, and you show your support for American workers (like yourself).

Take the time and research what you are buying. Many times an American made product does not cost much more but the quality is far superior. We only vote for our representatives every two or four years, but we vote with our wallets and checkbooks every day!

Thank you Rick!

1. We need to look beyond MADE IN USA label
and pay attention to union labor or prison labor too.

4. Wow.
Carharrt is the only clothing I buy new, ever, just because of the quality and its made in USA by Union workers.
I have a few pair of double fronts that are 20 years old plus and still going.
Damn.
