DA Apparel Collection 2022

2022 APPAREL COLLECTION UNION-MADE APPAREL WITH 100% AMERICAN MADE MATERIALS

union-made garments. Dignity Apparel is also a company with a clear mission – to create dignified, life-changing jobs.

We take both seriously, and we think they’re two sides of the same coin. Our vision is to revive an American garment industry that has been in decline for decades, allowing Americans to continue to buy garments made from American fibers and fabric – with all of the worker and environmental benefits this brings – and that are cut, sewn, and crafted in a union factory committed to the flourishing of our employees and their families. Partnering with our team, our community, and our customer base, we believe we can accomplish great things in the lives of real people. And we’re positive that we can make excellent, comfortable, on-trend garments that our customers will love to wear!

WHY USA-MADE GARMENTS?

Employment in apparel manufacturing and component industries, 1990-2011

• In 1960, roughly 95% of apparel worn by Americans was made by Americans. As of 2009, this number had dropped to 2%.

• US garment manufacturing has decreased by 80% in the past three decades. The global garment industry has filled the gap, and has proven rife with indentured labor, child labor, and environmental destruction.

1,000,000

• With rising awareness of the true costs to people, our economy, and the environment, in addition to strong policy support to “Buy American”, the number has risen to 3% as of 2021.

500,000

• We have a chance to revive an industry that nearly died, so Americans can still buy American-made clothing.

WHY UNION-MADE GARMENTS? • In the last decade, the vast majority of unionized garment factories have shut down or stopped serving the union market. There were less than 10 remaining in the US at the end of 2021.

• The largest non-union garment production market in the US (CA) recently passed legislation to stop common pay practices that saw workers making less than 1/3 of minimum wage with no benefits.

• Non-union garment factories often use imported fabrics and materials to save on cost instead of relying on a robust and thriving American cotton market.

• How can we ensure that the garments we buy lead to thriving, sustainable livelihoods?

The Dignity Apparel mission is to create dignified, life-changing jobs.

We’re blessed to have created more than 25 jobs so far in 2022, the vast majority of which provided employment for the previously unemployed in our community, adding much-needed income and benefits for their families.

God knows they’ve worked hard to handcraft every garment we’ve made, and they’ve earned it. And God willing, we’re just getting started!
