October 19, 2022
American Made Patriotic Clothing

The last few years have been tumultuous in the United States. Things have changed in many ways, from how we communicate to how we live and the fashion we wear. However, one thing that has never changed is our love for our great nation, and through thick and thin, good times and bad, Americans have rallied around the flag to move forward as a people.

The fashion world is constantly changing, but over the past few decades, there has been a steady uptick in American-made patriotic clothing. More Americans are choosing to express their feelings about our nation and its values through the clothes and accessories they wear.

Patriotic clothing is always in style, and wearing high-quality American-made patriotic apparel will set you apart from those who play at patriotism with foreign-made clothing.

Supply Chain Problems

The initial days and months of the pandemic were a time of chaos. Supermarket shelves were empty, and many essential consumer goods were difficult to find. These issues were caused by lockdowns in factories abroad, tight quarantine procedures at international borders worldwide, and shortages in everything from truck drivers to shipping containers.

Supply chain problems were a rough awakening for many Americans who had become accustomed to the easy availability of goods and caused a change in beliefs about how our economy should work. Americans began to see small, local, family-owned businesses that worked hard to provide quality goods and services at reasonable prices as superior to cheap, low-quality, foreign counterparts.

Many patriotic clothing brands proudly source their goods exclusively from domestic suppliers. Freedom Fatigues is proud to use American-produced goods, including American-grown cotton and American-tanned leather made with traditional techniques.

Flag Patch Trucker Hat

Freedom Fatigues’ Betsy Ross Flag Patch Trucker Hat features a traditional Besty Ross style hand-stitched flag patch hand made by a veteran-owned company. Freedom Fatigues partners with a small, family-run business to design, test and build their hats here in America.

These patriotic brands were some of the only clothing companies that resisted the temptation to outsource their production. Americans turned to them for their clothing during the pandemic. The quality and principles of these companies won many converts, and millions of American consumers won’t be returning to non-American-made clothes.

Surging Patriotism

Americans are a proud people. 85% of U.S. citizens consider themselves very patriotic, and 63.9% own an American Flag they proudly display. Despite recent divisive national discourse, patriotism levels have remained mostly steady over the last decade, and a growing number of Americans want to show pride for the country they love.

As our nation has confronted several problems over the last two years since the pandemic, Americans realized that the values and freedoms our nation was founded on were the solution, not the problem. The country has seen a recent uptick in patriotism, and the number of proud Americans is surging.

Bracelet

Proud Americans are not quiet about their country. We love to show off and express our profound feelings about this land, and patriotic apparel is a popular outward expression of our feelings toward our nation. Whether it’s a USA shirt from Freedom Fatigues’ line of comfortable, American-made patriotic shirts or one of Freedom Fatigues’ flag paracord bracelets that show our colors and honor our troops, Americans want to show their national pride outwardly.

Flag clothing has a meaning that speaks to something more profound than the issues of the day and is popular across the entire political spectrum. Our patriotic symbols stand for all Americans, and each and every one of us is proud of our country. This pride is causing patriotic apparel to take over the fashion world.

All-American Cool

The fashion industry is all about what’s cool and what looks great. Style-makers want to take whatever is popular, package it, and sell it to the consumer. The fashion process can be challenging as tastes constantly change, but some styles have remained cool over the decades.

American style has become the definition of cool worldwide, from jeans to t-shirts to Air Force-influenced bomber jackets. People far beyond our shores see clothing with patriotic American symbols as powerful, hip, and trendy. Our nation represents freedom and prosperity, and our symbols support our values.

The look, the meaning, and the way All-American-made patriotic gear has come to represent all that is good in our country have tied it to our notion of what is in style, and the fashion industry has responded by spreading the trend.
