Wigwam: Great Socks for All Seasons
:: Great company :: Wide selection + hats :: Reasonable prices :: Since 1908 ::
After discovering Wigwam socks at our local Costco, we were amazed by the build quality as well as the value! Additionally, Wigwam also makes warm knit hats, beanies, wool caps, glove liners and more (some hats may be imported). Wigwam covers all the bases in their sock lines, from Merino Wool comfort hiking socks, to triathlon performance, to snow sport, to work boot crew and foot health comfort socks. They feature comfort without sacrificing style, and source their wool almost exclusively from American wool growers. Our feature image only scratches the surface of what they have available.
We are very impressed by their corporate policy and beliefs, as well as their continuing push towards greener operations (solar heated water, motion sensor lights, recycling, etc). Wigwam is active in Washington DC, lobbying for fair trade and reasonable import limitations.
From their “About” page:
“We care that thousands of manufacturers in this country sacrifice quality for less-expensive labor in other areas of the world, to increase the bottom line. We continue to lobby in Washington D.C. for programs that responsibly limit the quantity of imported products coming into this country while still pursuing a policy of fair trade with our many global neighbors. We care about the environmental, sociological, and financial implications of this policy.”

Artex: Winter Caps, Beanies, Scarves, Hats and More
:: Great prices :: Many styles :: Many colors :: Optional embroidery ::
Artex makes a huge selection of warm winter hats and scarves for the whole family, all at fantastic prices. Designs include stretch beanies, headbands, caps, face masks, classic cuffs, jeep caps, bandanas, watch caps, ribbed cuffs, waffle stitch, military beanies, lumberjack jeep beanies, plain cuffs, military/ service hats, high-visibility, and more. Materials include American mohair, wool, acrylic, fleece, Thinsulate, and polyester. Most items made in USA!
Prices are fantastic -they range from $7 for the beanies, to $20-$30 for the scarves! That is what stores are charging for imports, so we have to give Artex a round of applause for providing such a great value, with styles and options for everyone, including babies!
Avoid their imported toddler beanies with the ear flaps, the toddler bucket hats, and the fancier looking Peruvian caps- we can only hope they will try to produce those here, as $15 is unnecessarily low price for these hats and we think they will sell at a higher price.
Artex corporate site: mixed domestic and import, but kudos for great labeling:

Hundreds of Artex Items at Amazon (Careful for Rogue Imports)
Pendleton: Woolen Clothing, Blankets, Pillows and More
:: Mixed domestic and imports :: Native American and modern mix ::
Pendleton offers a huge range of products – quite a few made in USA with wool from their American Northwest Mills, and more-than-quite-a-few that are imported. We are not here to scold companies that import, but rather encourage them to re-shore their production.
So without further ado, I would like to compliment Pendleton on their sense of design and quality, and simply provide a link directly to a big tall page that only includes their “Made in USA” products (369 at this time), that offer a great list of blankets (and BABY BLANKETS for a reasonable price!), throws, skirts, scarves, shirts and clothing, furniture, pillows, hats, jewelry, bags and accessories, ceramic plates, mugs and bowls, glassware, and even a few cute items for the holidays!
Made in USA Selection on Pendleton.com
Ordinarily we would also link to their products on Amazon, but there are just too many imports there. Let’s applaud their efforts to maintain jobs here, but also encourage them to consider more re-shoring!

Who says American clothing isn’t competitive?!?! A quick trip to All Seasons Work Uniforms proves that all the staples can be found at near-import prices! Although their website could use better thumbnail images for the casual shopper, their dedicated page to Made in USA clothing is organized, stocked, and clearly labeled if you know what you’re looking for.

Bullet Blues: Quality Stylish Apparel, American to the Core
:: Fabric, buttons et al made in America :: Design-centric clothing :: More than jeans ::
Bullet Blues centers their clothing lines on quality design and American sourcing. The very name Bullet Blues originates from a feeling that the French-American founder had while visiting Normandy, in honor of the American soldiers who died in Europe during WWII… in this case the perfect embodiment of “Let Freedom Ring”.
Still a relatively new company, Bullet Blues lines of clothing for women and men are continually expanding, with offerings in jeans, belts, tops and dresses. Jeans for women are offered in day (Jour) and night designs (Nuit), which fit like a glove over the curves with a touch of elasticity in the mix. Men’s jeans also are available in Jour or Nuit flavors. Women’s tops and dresses are sleek and sophisticated, yet remarkably affordable! We can’t wait to see how their product lines evolve. Made in USA!
Bullet Blues offers very handy sizing charts that compare with other jean brands, so you know what you’ll be getting into before purchase.
