Compiling list of brands made in usa

Can I get some help pulling together a list of made in the USA brands. Fitness wear, gear, bras, clothing, outdoor gear, etc. Let me know if the brand provides a quality product if you have tried it. Oh and I am ok with learning about fashion brands too! :-) I'm not interested in 'designed in the USA' but made elsewhere. Oh and if they use any green manufacturing process, such as made from recycled bottles, plant powered by solar power, etc. Thanks

I believe New Balance is still made in the USA. At least some of them.

Okabashi and Oka-B flip flops and sandals are made in the USA out of recycled plastics. Flip flops are great for summer wear, wet areas, etc. are washable and have some arch support. Okabashi flip flops can be found at Walgreens, Walmart or CVS during the summer for 1/2 manufacturers suggested retail.

The Step. As far as I know, still made in America (although there are many Asian knock offs).

Woman's clothing brand Amour Vert is all made in the USA. They make their clothes from sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, modal, and tencel. I believe their cotton comes from an organic cotton farm in Katy, TX and when you buy a tee, they plant a tree!

Aha! Found a good reference for Made in America Products: http://www.themadeinamericamovement....rica-products/ Wish it had even more companies listed....but they are definitely hard to identify and verify. So many false claims and marketing half truths to deal with these days.
