This is an interesting op-ed piece. It provides food for thought about the clothing we buy and the human cost involved.

Considering how complicated modern supply chains are, who knows how many of pieces of clothing we wear labeled "Made in the USA" or "Made in the EU" actually involve using labor in places with few worker protections and dangerous work conditions.

Made in USA, Sourced in USA, and there are probably other terms like this but I always wonder is there anything that is 100% USA made in the clothing world all the way down to the fiber?
