American Giant resolves to “make things better” and “make better things.” This company makes better hoodies, jeans, t-shirts, and more, while valuing people over profit. This company provides military discounts, a lifetime warranty, and free shipping on orders of $100 or more. American Giant makes and sells basic pieces like hoodies, t-shirts (this brand is very popular with its t-shirt!), and sweatpants for men and women. The men’s Sawbuck Chino, made in El Paso, Texas, caught my eye. These are 98% cotton twill and 2% lycra for a little stretch. While looking online, I noticed American Giant currently has a great sale on both men’s and women’s t-shirts, indicating this company tries to provide lower price points. It also makes other non-cotton products in the USA. Finally, American Giant has exclusive brick-and-mortar stores across our country.

Luxe label Amour Vert cuts and sews many of its women’s garments in San Francisco, working exclusively with sustainable fabrics and nontoxic dyes to make its clothing in small batches.

Most of these offerings are made from fabric blends that include organic cotton. I like the special touches the Odilia Reverie Slub Tee reflects, with its sleeve pleats and strong crew stitching.
