Every listing

What you get on each factory

  • Name, city and state
  • Direct email, not a contact form
  • What they make, by category
  • MOQ tier per product
  • Certifications on file
  • Verified flag where audits are current
Standards we flag

See which factories hold the certificate your buyers ask for

A listing shows a certification only when the factory has a current certificate on file. Expiry dates are tracked at each quarterly refresh.

  • GOTS
  • OEKO-TEX 100
  • GRS
  • bluesign
  • SA8000
  • ISO 9001
  • ISO 14001
  • Cradle to Cradle
  • PETA-Approved Vegan

Not every US factory holds a certificate. When a factory has none on file, the listing says so.

What the 80 factories cover

Three hubs, one directory

The Directory lists 80 documented US factories with direct contacts, filterable by hub.

Methodology

How the directory is built. Not a scrape.

Every listing is documented from public records, checked for current certificates and revalidated every quarter. We take no commission from any factory, so no factory pays to be listed.

    Allowed when all or virtually all of the garment is made here. With imported fabric: “Made in USA of imported fabric”.

  • Boxes full of cut fabric pieces sorted on the floor of a garment factory
    02

    1–5 days by ground

    Stock moves by truck to the lower 48. No ocean freight.

  • Stack of dark denim with chain-stitched hems in a factory
