The American Apparel Organic T-Shirt







The American Apparel t-shirt set the standard for stylish, sustainable clothing. Proudly promoting their "sweatshop-free, made in the USA" mission when they opened their doors nearly ten years ago, they showed their country that high quality, fashion-driven apparel could be manufactured on our shores and sold at competitive prices.




Using a vertical integration business model, everything that goes into selling a piece of clothing -- from knitting the yard into fabric, to dyeing, designing, sewing, marketing, shipping -- all happens under one roof.




Every garment is created at an American Apparel site in Southern California within a 30-mile radius of each other.




When you put on an American Apparel product, you're not just putting on a t-shirt or sweatshirt: you're letting the world know that sustainable clothing is important to you. And you look great delivering the message.
