When cold weather hits, there’s nothing quite like wool clothing to keep you warm and comfortable (I practically live in my wool sweaters during the wintertime). If you’re looking for wool garments that support American manufacturing, check out the list. This is the page for all things wool clothing I find that are made here.
Duckworth
Duckworth is the world’s only source-verified Merino wool clothing company overseeing the entire “Sheep to Shelf™” process. Their Merino sheep graze in the Montana Rockies and adjacent prairie lands, producing fine wool that’s processed and manufactured entirely in the USA. Their product line includes baselayers, midlayers, and outer layers suitable for outdoor activities and daily wear.
Faribault Mill
Faribault Mill was founded in 1865 by Carl Henry Klemer in Faribault, Minnesota, is a historic textile manufacturer known for high-quality wool products. The company still operates from its original location and maintains a fully integrated process including selecting premium fleeces, washing, carding, spinning, and weaving. Beyond their renowned blankets and throws, they offer woolen shawls.
Ramblers Way
Ramblers Way creates sustainable, American-made apparel from premium Merino wool and Pima cotton. The company emphasizes ethical sourcing and domestic manufacturing. Please note that they do source their organic wool fiber from Argentina.
Mountain Meadow Wool
Mountain Meadow Wool produces eco-friendly, 100% American-made wool products by collaborating with local ranchers to source premium Wyoming-grown wool. They manage the entire production process—from washing and dyeing to spinning and knitting—on-site, ensuring quality control and traceability. They are the largest full service mill in the West, currently processing over 60,000 lbs of wool a year.
WeatherWool
WeatherWool was started in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo, and is a family-owned business creating premium, pure-American wool garments. They oversee the entire production process, selecting fine wool from specific ranchers and crafting their own specialized fabric to meet exacting performance standards. Their manufacturing occurs entirely in the USA, with weaving done by Material Technology and Logistics in Pennsylvania.
Hardwick
Hardwick Clothes was founded in 1880, by C.L. Hardwick in Cleveland, Tennessee, and is one of America’s oldest continuously operating tailored clothing manufacturers. Beginning as Cleveland Woolen Mills and producing “jean cloth” for their popular “Dollar Pants,” they rebranded in 1925 to Hardwick Woolen Mills as a vertically integrated operation with the motto “From the sheep’s back to the clothing rack.” Since 1974, they’ve operated from a 175,000-square-foot facility in Cleveland where they craft American wool clothing including men’s suits, blazers, and sport coats.
Hertling
Hertling has a longstanding tradition of crafting premium, handcrafted trousers in America. After Justin Christensen acquired the company in 2016 to preserve its legacy of fine tailoring, they relocated in March 2021 to the Tower Mill building in Fall River, Massachusetts, doubling their space while reducing costs. Their diverse product range includes wool dress trousers, sport chinos, and limited edition collections featuring premium fabrics like wool flannel and corduroy.
Johnson Woolen Mills
Johnson Woolen Mills has been making clothing in Vermont since 1842. The company started by weaving wool for local farmers and gradually shifted to producing durable work clothes. They still use traditional hand-cutting and sewing methods to create their signature items like the Jac Shirt and sturdy wool pants, maintaining a connection to their longstanding crafting heritage. Please note that some materials are sourced overseas.
NWKC
Northwestern Knitting Company (NWKC) began in 1888 when George Munsing started the business in Minneapolis. After a long hiatus, the brand was revived in the 21st century. NWKC creates knitwear using its proprietary Merino Dual Cloth, with their knitting mill partner located in New Jersey (where they construct their MDC fabrics). When knitting is complete, the raw fabric is sent to Pennsylvania for washing/finishing, then to New York City’s Garment District to be cut and sewn.
