Introduction
You might not realize it, but many of the things you wear and use every day are made right here in America. Sure, some of them are made by American companies who advertise their products as being made in America, but others aren’t. For those brands that just don’t talk about where they make their products—whether due to cost or other reasons—here’s a list of 23 things you may not have known were “Made in America.”
The country’s most iconic boots.
- L.L. Bean boots are made in America and they’re made right here in Maine, with materials sourced from the state as well.
- The company started as a family business, run by Leon Leonwood Bean himself (the ‘L’ stands for his first name). Today, it’s still owned by the same family–and still makes its iconic footwear in the same factory it has used since 1912.
The world’s best jeans.
Levi’s, Hudson, Diesel and 7 For All Mankind are all brands whose jeans you can buy in the United States. They’re also some of the best-made jeans in the world.
Levi’s is perhaps the most iconic brand when it comes to denim–they invented blue jeans for crying out loud! But they aren’t just about making a good pair of pants: they’ve also got jackets and vests that will keep you warm through winter (and maybe even spring). Hudson offers up nice lightweight options if you’re looking for something more casual or summery; their designs are simple but sleek enough that they won’t look out of place at work or out on the town.
Diesel stands apart from other brands because of its unique approach: instead of focusing on just one style or fit like most companies do, Diesel offers up an eclectic mix featuring everything from skinny low rise styles with subtle details like zippers on pockets or contrasting stitching patterns around seams…to wide relaxed fits with lots pockets designed specifically for holding everything from keys & wallets to cell phones & tablets! If you want something fun yet functional–or maybe even something edgy–then this could be right up your alley!

It’s easy to forget that the shoe you’re wearing was made in America, but it’s true! Converse has been around since 1908 and still makes shoes out of its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. It also owns two factories: one in Mexico and one in China. The company got its start when Marquis Mathers bought some rubber from Charles Goodyear and created the first pair of Chuck Taylors (so called because they were first worn by basketball star Chuck Taylor).

If you’re a denim fan, you might be surprised to find out that some of the best jeans are made in America. The Levi’s brand is one of the oldest and most iconic American clothing companies. It was founded by German immigrant Levi Strauss in 1853 as a dry goods business; he later added denim overalls to his line of products. Today, Levi’s offers everything from jeans to khakis and shorts–and they’re still family owned!
You can find these high-quality American-made jeans at many retailers like Nordstrom Rack or Target (if you’re looking for deals). But if you want something unique or special enough for an occasion like prom or wedding photos? We recommend checking out one of these websites:

If you’re looking for a way to support American businesses and jobs, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are some tips:
- Look for the “Made in USA” label on products or packaging. This means that the product was manufactured entirely within our borders (or at least partially).
- Check out websites like MadeinAmericaStore.com or MadeinAmericaBrandIndex.com which list thousands of companies that manufacture their goods domestically. You can also use Google search terms like “[brand name] + American made” if you’re curious about specific brands’ policies regarding domestic manufacturing vs outsourcing overseas labor markets such as China or Bangladesh where workers often earn less than $1 per hour for their efforts–a stark contrast from typical factory wages here in America!
- Consider buying from smaller businesses owned by individuals rather than large corporations with shareholders who may not have your best interests at heart just because they need your money more than you do!
