Using American Giant's Bayard Winthrop as a case study, the book 'American Flannel' by Steven Kurutz asks the larger question about the impact of overseas production.
It’s a sobering statistic: in 1980, around 70 percent of the clothing worn by Americans was made domestically. Today, that figure is 2 percent., to write a book chronicling a few of the last remaining companies producing apparel in the U.S. In the prologue of the book, “American Flannel: How a Band of Entrepreneurs Are Bringing the Art and Business of Making Clothes Back Home,” Kurutz said even though he wrote for the Styles section, he only covered the apparel industry “glancingly.
These and other companies profiled offer a rosier view of the future of American manufacturing. “Once you start shaking the trees, you find more of them,” Kurutz said of the companies who still produce in the U.S. “The book is a rollicking, fun read,” Winthrop said. “But there’s a deeper thread running through it about what kind of country we want to be 20 or 30 years down the road. It should get us all to ask that question. But I’m very much an optimist and the things that we’ve lost over the last 35 years are now re-emerging in the public consciousness.”
Kurutz added: “The book is not a diatribe or an editorial, but the questions are woven in for the reader to ponder.”Jaden Smith Dons Louis Vuitton to Celebrate Tyler, the Creator's….
