In a world of disposable trends, we believe in the enduring value of American craftsmanship. The Homefield Advantage is more than just getting to say "Made in the U.S.A.". The advantage is the impact supporting American made has on our communities. Each purchase is a commitment to quality, legacy, and supporting our neighbors.
American-made apparel is revitalizing local communities one job at a time. By bringing production back home, these brands are not only supporting workers but also preserving the craftsmanship and heritage of quality manufacturing. Each garment represents a reinvestment in the community, from factory floors to small businesses, ensuring that skilled jobs and time-honored traditions endure for future generations.

The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) states that the U.S. textile and apparel industry provides over $1.9 billion in wages annually. These wages are directly reinvested in local communities and support a wide range of skilled manufacturing positions.
According to a study by the American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA), for every $1 spent at a locally owned business, approximately $1.60 is reinvested back into the local economy. This multiplier effect supports job growth, local wages, and small business development.
The Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation reports that domestic manufacturing creates up to 65% more jobs than industries that outsource production. This is particularly true in regions investing in high-quality, American-made products.
A Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study found that bringing back apparel production to the U.S. could generate an additional $3.8 billion in annual revenue for local businesses, from fabric suppliers to retailers, further bolstering local economies.
A McKinsey & Company report shows that manufacturing goods closer to home can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 20%, thanks to shorter shipping distances and less energy-intensive overseas supply chains.
The resurgence of U.S. apparel manufacturing has led to a 40% increase in craftsmanship-related jobs in regions like North Carolina and Georgia, where skills like tailoring, weaving, and dyeing are once again in demand.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), skilled workers in the U.S. garment industry earn, on average, 50% more than their counterparts working in overseas factories, reflecting the higher labor standards and better working conditions in domestic production.
A Civic Economics study found that businesses producing locally tend to reinvest up to 80% of their revenue into the local community, compared to just 20% for national chain stores or global companies.
According to a Made in America Survey conducted by FMI and National Retail Federation (NRF), 70% of U.S. consumers say they prefer to buy products made in America, and they’re willing to pay a premium to do so, recognizing the value of supporting local economies.
