lost most of its garment industry in the 90s when brands and retailers started sourcing more and more products overseas and paying other countries to make more and more clothes.
And when that happened, the U.S.
kind of stopped investing in the factories that were left, stopped innovating.
So walking into some of these factories today can feel like going back in time.
This is Aisha Barenblatt.
Her work running a nonprofit called Remake has taken her inside garment factories all over the U.S.
and abroad.
We have some.
Not many.
The governments in a lot of the countries where our clothes are made today actually subsidize those state-of-the-art fancy factories.
And unless the U.S.
were to do the same, Aisha says she cannot imagine that there would be the right incentives for anyone to invest in more U.S.
Yeah, the U.S.
outsourced a lot of its garment making expertise a long time ago.
Other countries got really good at making clothes, not just sewing clothes, but like the pattern making, fitting, making a bra.
Not a simple sports bra like our purple bra, but like a legit structured support bra with cups and the whole thing.
Aisha says the U.S.
Different countries have become experts at different things.
One country might be really great at making cheap pearl buttons for our clothes.
Another great at working with silk.
