Made in USA – doo rags

 

The items in this collection are proudly American-made!

We wish all of our items were. Sad truth is that 95% to 98% of clothing items are made overseas, thanks to large corporations closing U.S. based operations and moving to other countries.

We do what we can to offer more items made in the USA each year, but kindly understand that this is very difficult, as there are not a lot of U.S. headwear manufacturers. The few that remain are quite costly for just blank caps and the embroidery is much more...to the point that our customers simply do not wish to pay the required price for many of those items! So we still purchase some American-made items for the higher price and take much less profits to be able to support small businesses in the USA.

We do supplement our stock with non-U.S. made items to be able to keep a reasonable price point for our customers and offer more variety and selections that they enjoy. 

Remember, that even when you purchase a cap that was made overseas, you still support us, a Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. 

Supporting company's like ours, which are located in the United States, is still very important. We have families to feed and bills to pay too. We do our best to offer a wide selection of good looking, high quality headwear and other items, but are at the mercy of what is available in today's market, especially since the pandemic hit.

Being patriotic is great and that we definitely are; however, being practical and realistic is how we have stayed in business for over 20 years. We would love to buy only U.S. items, but this is not practical for us or hardly any businesses nowadays, unless they have the money to open up their own manufacturing facilities. To boot, most customers simply do not want to pay $35 to $40 retail price for the Made in the USA military baseball caps we have offered in the past. The other issue is that hardly any U.S. cap companies will embroider on the bill of the cap without charging a large fee as it has to be sewn and embroidered separately from the other components of the hat. Most U.S. cap mfg companies are not set up for that and our customers love caps with embroidery in multiple places.

Thank you for your kind understanding and support! ~Owner, Buy Caps and Hats
