Do do do do do do do do.

Dumb.

If you had told me back in 2012 that I'd be sitting here on a podcast, talking about the sweatshirt

I received in the mail from Byard Winthrop over to American Giant 13 years later, I'd have said,

well, that's impossible.

And if you told me I'd still be wearing that same

sweatshirt after hundreds of washings and God only knows how many different dirty jobs, I'd have

said, well, that's also impossible. And yet, here I sit, wrapped comfortably in that same indestructible

sweatshirt, reflecting on the unlikely story of American Giant and the many obstacles faced by entrepreneurs

like Byard, who insist on making high-quality goods in these United States, and thank God they do.

Here's what I can tell you. American Giant does not skimp on quality. They do not take shortcuts.

What they do is control their own supply chain and grow their own cotton and hire their own people in factory towns all over this country.

That really matters because when you buy from American giant, you're not only getting great quality, you're creating jobs for people in those factory towns all over this country.

No pressure, no pressure, but if you give a damn

about the business of making things in America, you got to support the companies who are doing it
