UNION-MADE APPAREL WITH 100% USA-SOURCED MATERIALS

2023 was an exciting and unexpected year at Image Pointe and Dignity Apparel.

As we were setting up t-shirt manufacturing lines in Iowa to make our first Dignity Apparel T-shirt, we learned that a well-established fabric mill and t-shirt factory was up for sale. To save just a couple dollars on shirt cost, a major brand had decided to offshore their production and nearly 100 hardworking Americans were at risk of losing their jobs– a story that has played out over and over for the past three decades.

As of February 1, 2024, we are humbled and privileged to say that we have expanded our Dignity Apparel operations to include a t-shirt factory in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee! And we’re proud to say that even in a “right to work” state, through the incredible work of Workers United/SEIU, 100% of the team joined a union that has capably represented garment industry workers for generations, and after negotiations, 100% of these new union members ratified their first contract. I believe I speak on behalf of the IP/DA team, the Southern Region of Workers United, and most importantly the men and women of Dignity Apparel Tennessee in saying that we could not be more excited for the future. And it still humbles us to say this out loud...moving forward ALL Dignity Apparel t-shirts will be unionknit in our Tennessee mill, union cut and sewn in the Tennessee garment factory, and union-decorated by Image Pointe in Iowa.

Employment in apparel manufacturing and component industries, 1990-2011

1990

When we first visited, a few things were clear. First, these were saltof-the-earth folks who had worked hard for years, some for decades, and they were rightly concerned about their future. Second, they were skilled, excellent craftspeople who were efficiently producing some of the most amazing, high-quality USA-made t-shirts we had ever come across. Third, as we talked directly with the team, we learned that despite faithful service for many years, they lacked any retirement benefits and discretionary paid-time off to spend with their families.

Many were living paycheck to paycheck with no ability to save for the future or establish better lives for themselves and their loved ones.

Who was fighting for better lives for these single moms and 30-year knitters working into retirement age just to survive?

WHY USA-MADE GARMENTS?

• 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.

• 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.

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

And DA products will ALWAYS be made from 100% USA-sourced materials. How can we guarantee this in an industry characterized by smoke and mirrors and lack of transparency in material sourcing?

Because we buy our yarn directly from the Carolinas! Please know that moving forward every Dignity Apparel t-shirt you buy goes directly to benefitting nearly 100 new union workers in Tennessee. We hope that you can help us share their story as you wear Dignity Apparel t-shirts with pride.

None of this is possible without your support and partnership. We are beyond fortunate to have the chance to partner with you in creating strong union jobs.

Thank you! And LET’S GO! Josh and the IP/DA Team
