Made in America’ Push Spurs U.S. Clothing Production, but Challenges Remain

President Donald Trump’s ‘Made in America’ initiative is encouraging some U.S. clothing retailers to expand domestic production of items ranging from T-shirts to suits. However, industry experts warn that limited manufacturing capacity and higher costs make a large-scale shift to U.S.-based production unlikely.

While some brands are embracing American-made fashion, many still rely on overseas suppliers to remain competitive in pricing and scale. The push highlights the challenges of revitalizing the domestic textile industry amid global supply chain realities.
