One of the biggest complaints people have about buying ‘Made in USA’ products is that it typically costs more. While there are some exceptions, as a general trend it is a fair complaint. But that doesn’t mean you just have to write-off buying American-made goods altogether. You just need to get creative and find ways to save on these products, and one of the best ways I’ve found over the years is to spend a lot of time in the clearance sections of brands that I know manufacture their goods in the USA.
I’m not going to lie, if you don’t know where to look this can be extremely time-consuming. But that’s not going to be an issue for you, as you have me.
I’ve made a directory of sorts of all of the companies I’ve found that sell USA-made goods and have a permanent clearance section on their website. You can save up to 80% by spending some time browsing these clearance sections. I’ve bought lots of USA-made clothing for just a few dollars over the years!
Clothing
Royal Apparel
Royal Apparel is one of the bigger players in the space, claiming to offer “the largest collection of US Made apparel available in the industry.” Please be aware that the clothing they sell is made with domestic and imported yarns, based on yarn availability and current market status.
There are some seriously good deals to be had in their clearance section, with some items discounted by as much as 80%. Some items only cost a few dollars.
Blue Canoe
Blue Canoe refer to themselves as “eco-conscious fashion made in the USA”. Since the company was founded in 1994, they’ve always operated that way. Today everything is made in San Francisco, and fabrics are carefully selected to ensure the lowest environmental impact possible.
I regularly see deals in their clearance section discounted by 80%. You can pick up high-quality clothing for reasonable prices.
Round House Jeans
Round House is the oldest and largest manufacturer of ‘made in USA’ denim. They only use cotton from US farms and they produce their products in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
On their website, they have a section for ‘Closeouts and Irregulars’. Most of the time you’ll see them selling irregulars or seconds here, which are items that have slight defects. If you can look past those imperfections, you can really pick up a great deal with these items typically 50% cheaper.
