June 24 2024 - 9:00AM
American Giant, the largest American-made clothing brand, today
announced a collaboration with Walmart to sell high quality,
American-made t-shirts in 1,700 Walmart locations across the United
States. Since the company’s establishment in 2011, American Giant
has pursued their mission to return high quality clothing
manufacturing back to the United States at scale. Leveraging the
breadth of Walmart’s purchasing power to drive quality and needed
volume across American manufacturing facilities, American Giant
will offer a 100% American-made t-shirt for the 4th of July
holiday, retailing for $12.98.
American Giant, renowned for its commitment to
manufacturing high-quality apparel domestically, has been a
trailblazer in the industry. Notably, this collaboration marks a
significant milestone in its journey to revitalize American textile
manufacturing.
The first American Giant products produced for
Walmart will be t-shirts made from 100% American cotton grown
across farms throughout the Southeastern United States and produced
in factories from the Carolinas to California. Walmart shoppers
will be able to choose from an assortment of red, white, blue, and
heather gray t-shirts.
By leveraging American Giant’s expertise in
American textile production and Walmart’s scale, this collaboration
has made it possible to bring a new, high-quality product to the
market at a landmark price point. This launch significantly
contributes to Walmart’s ongoing commitment to its U.S.
manufacturing initiative, and is part of Walmart’s broader efforts
to source $350 billion worth of products made, grown or assembled
in the United States. Joining forces with American Giant, a company
that embodies the essence of high quality American-made clothing,
Walmart continues to drive growth of the U.S. manufacturing
sector.
“American Giant is a leader in American-made
clothing,” said Andrea Albright, Walmart’s Executive Vice President
of Sourcing. “They have done what many claimed would be impossible
and are now the premier brand making high-quality apparel in the
U.S. As trailblazers in the industry, they have shown what can be
achieved, and we are proud to bring their products to millions of
Americans at an incredible price. We look forward to fostering a
collaborative partnership where we can learn from each other's
expertise as we continue to invest in American manufacturing.”
“For the last 13 years, we have pursued a singular
mission: to make high-quality apparel in America and help return
the jobs and capability that comes with that. Because it matters.
It matters for the people living and working in factory and farm
towns, and it matters for our country and our economy,” said Bayard
Winthrop, founder and CEO of American Giant. “This partnership is a
natural extension of that mission. Walmart’s commitment and volume
changes the economies of scale and allows us to accelerate our
progress on returning American clothing manufacturing to its role
as a world wide leader of quality, sustainable production. In doing
this, it points a way forward for our factory and farming towns
that are the lifeblood of America.”
Today’s news represents the power of collaborative
alliances in driving positive change. Walmart and American Giant’s
collaboration not only provides customers with access to
high-quality American-made clothing at an affordable price but also
paves the way for a brighter future for American factory towns.
