Episode 4: I Guess We're All Just Patriotic (or something)

Previous Episode: Episode 3: Cheap, Fast, or Good (You can only pick two)

Next Episode: Episode 5: Clown Cakes, Defective Bathing Suits, and Delia's, or WTF is E-commerce?!

In the 1960's, 95% of Americans' clothing was made in the USA. Today, 95% of our clothing is imported. Production expert Amy is back to discuss what happened and how that may (or may not) change in the future. We'll also be discussing the concept of vertical manufacturing. And you can't talk about Made in the USA without talking about American Apparel, and therefore, Dov Charney. Just a content warning: in the middle of the episode, we will be talking for a few minutes about the culture of sexual harassment and abuse at American Apparel. It may not be appropriate for some listeners.
And as promised, here is an amazing podcast that follows Dov Charney: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/startup/49hrex
