Clothing Manufacturers in the USA

• A US company. You deal with an American business, Nevear Apparel LLC, from the first quote to delivery.
• Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can launch or test a style without committing to hundreds of units. Read what MOQ means for how order size affects price.
• Made in the USA or abroad. Produce with our US partner factories, which avoids import duties, or overseas when that suits the product and budget. The table below shows what each choice costs at the border.
• Room to grow. The same pattern and approved sample carry through to repeat orders of up to around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment.

We make t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, jackets, sportswear, tracksuits, shorts and hats, for brands across the country, including in Los Angeles, Nashville, Austin, Seattle, Columbus and Las Vegas.

Clothing made in the USA pays no import duty. Imported clothing pays the base duty in the US tariff schedule, which is high for apparel, and in 2026 most countries also face an additional tariff under Section 301.

Commercial shipments are entered through US Customs by the importer of record, usually with a licensed customs broker, and customs processing fees apply on top of duty. There is no federal sales tax or VAT at the border.

Clothing sold in the US must be labeled under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act and the FTC's Care Labeling Rule. Plan these into your label artwork before production.

• Fiber content. Each fiber by its generic name and percentage by weight, largest first. Fibers under 5% are usually grouped as "other fiber".
• Country of origin. On the front of the label, at the inside center of the neck on garments with a neck. Imported clothing names the country where it was made; "Made in U.S.A." is only for clothing made in the US of US materials, and US-made clothing with imported fabric says "Made in U.S.A. of imported fabric".
• Maker identity. Your company name or your Registered Identification Number (RN).
• Care instructions. Required on a permanent label under the Care Labeling Rule.
• In English. Other languages can be added alongside.

US size labels (women's 0, 2, 4 and so on, and S to XXL) differ from UK, European and Australian sizes. Put your size system and full measurements in the tech pack so samples and labels match.

Our sampling and tech pack guide explains what to include.

1. Send your design, tech pack or a reference garment, with quantities and the date you need stock.
2. We quote, including the minimum for each item and whether we recommend US or overseas production.
3. We make a sample so you can check the fit, fabric and labels.
4. Once you approve the sample, bulk production starts.
5. We deliver the finished order to you.
