Made in the U.S.A.

http://www.citythreads.com/ is made in the U.S.A. Everything is made in downtown Los Angeles. It is hard to make everything in Los Angeles and still be competitive in price, but it is important to us. We like having our product made close by so that we can see it in every step of the process. We have more control over it that way. We are also able to have pieces that are more creative than if we had to mass produce in larger quantity over seas. One example of that it our double layer tees with the different art on the sleeves. We are able to come out with many different sleeves every fall season.
We feel that making things locally is also a good environmental choice as we don't have the large carbon foot print that comes with the shipping of goods from over seas. Our products are produced within a few mile radius of our office and then shipped. There is not a lot of miles that each piece travels in the production process. That is something that we feel really good about.
