Shop: Made In USA
The majority of clothing companies manufacture overseas for a number of reasons — including lower production costs, access to more manpower and resources and larger infrastructure. But more and more denim brands are moving their supply chains stateside.
Check out these brands if buying American-made denim is important to you — whether it’s to bolster the US economy, ensure high-quality goods or foster sustainable manufacturing processes.
- Not every product available on these websites is necessarily made in the USA. Some brands may only offer a small selection of American-made products. Check the product description before buying to be sure.

Imogene + Willie
Handmade denim with a charming story.
This brand’s name is inspired from the cofounder’s maternal grandparents — honoring an American tradition of hard work, integrity and community building. The jeans are patterned, cut and sewn in the USA, and come in a surprisingly broad range of styles for women and men.
Expect to pay more than you might find at a department store, considering the time that goes into making each pair.

Frame will elevate your off-duty look with its casual, yet chic denim — and it’s all made in Los Angeles. The brand is known for its American craftsmanship and European aesthetic. Shop high-quality jeans and clothing for women and men here.
Rag & Bone
Minimalist picks from skinny jeans to on-trend wide-leg.
The urban-chic brand known for its clean, simple designs manufactures select 5-pocket styles in the US. Shipping and returns are free, or buy from a department store like Bloomingdale’s or Nordstrom. Although Rag & Bone also sells other clothing and footwear, only its jeans are made in America.
Crawford Denim
True blues handmade in California.
Shop denim created in small batches for men and women here. If you’re looking to stand out in a sea of blue-jeans, you can also find a one-of-a-kind vintage pairs rebuilt by the Crawford Denim team. Its pieces include classic fits and rises, plus on-trend styles — and other clothing like vintage button-downs and dresses.

How do I know if jeans are made in the USA?
Check the product description of the pair of jeans you’re interested in. Most brands will list “Made in USA” or include a “Made in USA” logo on each product. If you can’t find this information on the brand’s website, contact the company directly to inquire about a specific item.
Popular brands that are NOT made in the USA
You may be surprised to learn that jeans from these brands are actually produced overseas:
- Levi’s. Although Levi’s uses cone denim from a supplier based in Greensboro, North Carolina, most of its jeans are produced overseas. Cone Denim notes on its website that it manufactures in China and Mexico. Our editor checked a pair of Levi’s made with white cone denim, and the tag on the jean notes it’s made in China. Another pair was made in Pakistan without cone denim. Though a Levi’s live chat agent on May 29 claimed all inventory is made in the US, this is simply untrue.
- Good American. Despite its name, not all Good American jeans are made in the USA. Khloe Kardashian’s size-inclusive denim brand used to manufacture in Los Angeles, but the majority of its jeans are now imported. You’ll still find some styles made in LA with imported materials.
- Duluth. Most items currently available from Duluth are imported. However, the company has expressed interest in bringing more of its manufacturing back to America in the future. It also offers other merchandise like packs, belts, socks and boots that are made in the USA.
- True Religion. Although many of its jeans used to be made in the US, most styles available online are imported.
