Summary

China hates us, but we let them manufacture all our stuff — much of it done by forced labor.  The exceptional Bayard Winthrop, CEO and Founder of American Giant, is betting on America.  He has moral, ethical, patriotic, and economic reasons for making all his company’s clothing in America.  By the end of this podcast, you’ll wish Mr. Winthrop was running for President.  One of my favorite episodes EVER.

Well, it goes back a number of decades to some decision making that we're going to explain here later.

But one of the companies I have found while I've been digging in

0:23.1

and looking for American Made is a company called American Giant. They are located in San Francisco,

1:52.6

degrees in just three minutes, even in the dead of winter. True. And that heat locks in juices and

flavor and grills your food faster. It's a veteran-owned company,
