Duck Scrubs: Uniforms for Health Care and More
Uniforms, health care uniforms and scrubs, made in NC! Low prices are comparable or even better than import prices. Pick up a luxurious Judge’s Robe while you’re at it! Low rise womens pants for $10?! Just amazing. Their full clothing line also includes tops, polo shirts, beauty smocks, choir robes, vests, pans, shorts and skirts, dresses, and aprons. Would be fun to have some scrubs customized for your office or business – they make great loungewear too.
City Threads: Comfort and Fun Fashion for Kids
*Award-winning *Great Prices *Huge Selection *Head-to-toe options
I am truly amazed by the quality and variety of designs for kids. I could only wish they made polo shirts for adults, they look fantastic! Designs include many fun options for both girls and boys, and the online store is broken into categories of themes, or you can search by size. Clothing types include hats, polos, jeans, pants, short and long sleeve shirts, underwears, shorts, swimwear and lounge wear, and even onesies for babies.
Thanks to Andrea in SF for the suggestion!
Voted “Best Boy’s Clothing Line”

Spiritex: Organic Clothes for the Whole Family
*Organic, local, sustainable *Very reasonable prices *Unique designs
Of special note, this clothing line is sewn in Asheville, NC. Some of the classic staples with multiple color options, as well as some unique pieces that might start a conversation. Surprisingly, they even make a huge variety of onesies for babies, and youth tee-shirts. The men’s Hunter Jacket is under $100, is unique and classy, and they can still make a profit on it. This makes you wonder why the retail stores are selling imports at an even higher price than this! American clothing is COMPETITIVE!!!
Select handbags and accessories round off the collections.
Clipa: Instant Handbag Hanger
*Many beautiful finishes *Versatile hanging modes *Low price *Great gift idea
Without knowing that this awesome purse hook is made in the USA, we bought an imported model. Had we known, this would be the line to choose from! Mary swears by hers and all I know is that next year a few of our friends might get one for Christmas ;). Form and function are pretty clear when seeing this in action: it is a portable hinged hook that is used as a hook to keep your purse up off the ground and close to hand, and the no-slip pads add a touch of friction. Great for café cruising, and there are likely many untapped creative uses for it.
American Giant: Crafted Sweatshirts and Tees
*Thick material *Well-crafted *Nice Details *Reasonable prices
Super thick and high-quality sweatshirts, zippered and pullover with hoods or no hoods. Short zippers, long zippers, v-neck sweatshirts and t-shirts. SF-based clothing company gives great details about the clothes you are about to buy: weight of material, details of various components, and *my favorite*, the size and weight of the model actually wearing the clothing in the product photos.
American Giant puts as much love into their craft as most Beer-makers. They claim this is the last hooded sweatshirt you’ll ever need. Look out, Zuckerberg!
Thanks for the pointer, Steve W.

Jasper Wren: Modern Play Clothes for Kids
Cute hoodies and tees for your little ones. Most sport basic iconic and simplistic felt-cutout artwork, but I must say the girls dresses are fabulously retro and simple with a timeless design and fantastic patterns, reminiscent of the 50s and 60s and 70s with bold and crisp lines. Great selection of onesies too.
