Made in the USA: All American Clothing, Tecovas
Few clothing brands still manufacture or assemble products in the United States, but these brands continue to make select items here at home.
These brands manufacture most of their clothing overseas, but they're still known for producing durable, long-lasting pieces.
A pair of All American Clothing jeans uses 100% cotton from domestic farms. They have a diamond-shaped gusset that lets you move more freely, and they're one of the few pairs of jeans still made in the U.S. for less than $100.
The Wies Made Artcher jacket provides a classic jean jacket style with denim from Georgia. Inspired by vintage hunting jackets, it provides extra room to move comfortably, and the brass hardware (also crafted in Georgia) elevates the jacket even more.
If you're shopping for a rugged pair of jeans, Tecovas' heritage denim line uses American-milled denim from Georgia. The Slim Straight fit has a tailored look through the hips and thighs, with a roomy straight leg below the knee.
Made in the USA: New Balance (select styles), Danner, Keen
Few sneaker brands still manufacture footwear in the United States, but New Balance, Danner and Keen produce select styles domestically using American-made materials and even U.S.-based factories.
Imported: Most New Balance styles
While New Balance manufactures some sneakers in the United States, many of its more affordable styles come from factories overseas.
This pair of American-made New Balance shoes has FuelCell foam cushioning for all-day comfort and better arch support. A suede-and-mesh upper adds breathability, while giving you an athletic look.
For a pair of long-lasting work boots, go with U.S.-made Danner steel-toe boots. The lightweight design and unlined leather help reduce sweat buildup. An electrical hazard rating provides extra protection against workplace shocks.

Made in the USA: All-Clad, Lodge
These brands continue to manufacture select cookware in the United States, producing everything from stainless steel pots and pans to cast-iron skillets.
Though extremely popular and affordable, these brands manufacture much of their cookware overseas. While these products aren't American-made, they're still known for their reliability and durability.
A factory in Pennsylvania makes this 12-inch All-Clad pan. The versatile build and included lid can sear, steam and simmer all your favorite foods. It even safely goes in the oven, letting you move seamlessly from the stovetop to the table.
Cast iron pans give you a deep sear and even heat distribution others can't. This 3-piece set from Lodge includes different sizes, all pre-seasoned right out of the box. Made in Tennessee, they're great camping companions.
Enjoy two pans in one with a Lodge Dutch oven. The lid doubles as a frying pan or fits over the pot when you want to bake, roast or steam. Cast iron construction distributes heat evenly, reducing hot spots that can burn your food.
