An American T Shirt? We Say Yes.

Want to know a startling, but very true statistic?

Eighty-two percent of the world's apparel factories are located in China, India and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Which means more than 90% of all apparel sold in the United States is imported.

That’s the reason every time you walk into a store, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything that’s made in the USA.

The reason for all these imports is easy–it's just much, much cheaper to run a factory in these other countries. Fact is, most companies actually save 50-60% if they make their tees outside of the United States.

We obviously think there’s a better, greener way.

So everyday we try to be the exception, not the rule.

That means all of our t-shirts, scarves, undies, umbrellas and totes are made in the U.S.A. Every single one of our A Lot To Say t-shirts is created, dyed, sewed, manufactured and shipped right here in California.

By keeping it in the U.S. A., we not only keep Americans employed, but take a stand against the conditions of sweatshop labor.

So if you like our stuff, do your part by ordering an item or two. Our motto: Buy American. Buy Sustainable. Buy A Lot To Say.
