Gifts That Make a Statement This Holiday Season
Check out the AJ article that has already been featured on AOL Money, forbes.com, the Dallas Business Journal and other prestegious publications:
Foreign garment and toy manufacturers are shuddering to think what the 2007 holiday sales may look like. Foreign manufacturers continue to take a big hit in light of safety concerns and several million recalls, while consumer memories are reminded about cheap foreign made apparel and substandard working conditions. With both again fresh in the minds of consumers, holiday sales are looking brighter for American made goods as American consumers nationwide are once more paying attention to the “Made In America” label.
“Made In America is no longer something manufacturers have to say under their breath,” marketing and branding expert Rodger Roeser, president of Ohio branding agency Eisen Management Group says. “The American brand has taken a hit over the years, but increasingly, from car manufacturers to clothing, we’re seeing a huge resurgence in the consumer desire for American made goods.”
Roeser attributes that to a “perfect marketing storm” of national political elections, the War in Iraq, and foreign product recalls. “In general, there is an increased pride, awareness and national spirit for all things American,” he adds. “And, I believe consumers are starting to realize where these products are made and the ramifications of supporting some of these substandard practices. Plus I think consumers find it odd to buy an American flag made in China, or a patriotic T-shirt made in Malaysia.”
And for many U.S. companies, this perfect storm is causing American consumer goods manufacturers to breathe a collective sigh of relief, particularly as the lifeblood of most companies, holiday sales, is upon the American consumer. One such organization, American Joe Apparel, provides consumers and businesses premium, 100 percent certified authentic American-made clothing. The online American made retailer can be accessed at www.americanjoeapparel.com and are making a splash with what the company calls “real American heroes everywhere.”
Based in a Dallas, Texas suburb, American Joe Apparel has found much success with its 2007 “Check the Tag” campaign. Founded by two ‘all American moms,’ American Joe Apparel works to heighten consumer awareness and uses their apparel and even their designs as a vehicle to represent a seemingly forgotten, but proud American industry – the American apparel manufacturer. The company provides a variety of shirts, sweats, business casual wear and caps for men, women and children. They also work with businesses that need apparel with their corporate logo or event.
“We’re changing America one T-shirt at a time,” American Joe Apparel founder and managing director Nan Moon smiled. “Consumers are now looking at the apparel industry with the same concern for safe, quality manufactured products at a fair price. Shoppers are becoming increasingly aware that purchasing items that are of the lowest possible price may also come with several unintended outcomes, such as low product quality and low manufacturing standards. And, it encourages and rewards cheap, overseas labor.”
The American Joe Apparel adventure has piqued the interest of textile and clothing manufacturers nationwide who have seen serious declines in revenue due to the double whammy of cheap labor through oversees outsourcing, and the fact that consumers pay little attention to where most products come from. Textile mills have faced extreme hardships since the early 1990s, and business is expected to decline by another 46 percent within the next seven years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“High quality and American jobs are being sacrificed for cheap labor, substandard working conditions and poor quality controls, for ever-increasing profit margins,” Moon adds. “More consumers are looking to U.S. companies to give them a reason to believe. And we think American Joe Apparel has, at the very least, started a dialogue and awareness to achieve exactly that. American made goods can be every bit as competitively priced, but also come along with the knowledge that they’re keeping Americans working, and that we can still produce some of the finest products in the world.”
In addition, the clothing company has created a special ‘American Joe Yellow Ribbon’ tee with proceeds going towards their ‘Ts for Troops’ initiative. During this event, the founder and her family personally pass out these American Joe Apparel Classic Tees to returning soldiers as they first set foot back on U.S. soil upon flying back in to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
The apparel company even has a fan club for its apparel – the 1912 Club – where folks, who believe that “Made in America Matters” can sign up, collectively make their voices heard, and receive special discounts and free promotional items.

The holiday season is just gearing up and we're already getting tons of attention! Here is the latest piece, which you can find in the web magazine, Textile Treasure :
Texas Apparel Company Announces New Catalogue, Holiday Gift Ideas

“We have already seen a tremendous demand for our American-made products, and the holiday season is just getting started. We feel that this holiday shopping season will strongly reflect the growing consumer demand for safe, quality and comfortable gifts for loved ones and employees. We believe that Made in America is important, as it supports local manufacturers and communities, and there are no better, more durable, more stylish clothes on the market than American Joe,” American Joe founder Nan Moon said.

Hope for domestic garmentos?
China recalls help U.S. apparel manufacturers.
By Ingrid Tharasook
November 12 2007: 12:19 PM EST
New York -- China Fashion Week ended yesterday as the country's top designers proudly showcased homegrown haute couture on the Beijing runway. But the world's largest textile and apparel industry has been battered in recent months.
Last May, Beijing News reported that one in every five Chinese-manufactured baby garments and toys had failed safety test inspections. And in August, New Zealand scientists announced that they had found dangerously high levels of formaldehyde in imported Chinese garments.
This ill wind has blown some good in the direction of U.S. garment manufacturers, long battered by low-priced competition from overseas manufacturers. To be sure, one in every four pieces of clothing sold in the U.S. is made in China, and the recalls aren't likely to undo that edge quickly. But for the first time in many years, small domestic garmentos have a real chance to gain market share.
"Consumers are definitely looking for products made in the U.S.A," says Nataly Blumberg, vice president of The Bromley Group, a fashion PR firm based in New York City. "We sense that they're willing to spend more because it's a way of showing support."
"You shouldn't have to say Made in America under your breath," says Rodger Roeser, spokesperson for American Joe Apparel in Plano, Texas. The T-shirt company proudly advertises its domestic credentials, using suppliers from six different states and making sure that all inputs - down to the office paper - are made on U.S. soil.
Sales of American Joe products have tripled since the last summer's spate of China recalls. The company projects sales of $20 million in 2007, its first year year in business. "We want everybody to wear our clothes and feel like an All-American hero," says Roeser. "By wearing an American-made shirt you're putting Americans back to work."
This message tends to resonate best in America's battered industrial heartland. In Arcanum, Ohio, a small garment manufacturer called All American Clothing (allamericanclothing.com) markets Made-in-USA denim as pret-a-porter workwear.
Says founder and president Lawson Nickol: "We go after this demographic because they are aware of how their peers have lost their jobs, and are more inclined to support the cause."
All American Clothing sales on the retail site ShopForAmerica.com have shot up by 500% since the recalls. "Frankly, the Chinese are helping us quite a bit right now," says Nickol.

Welcome Heroes
Over the coming months, I'll be sharing stories about the life and times of a genuine, All American Hero - who became a legend. Joe Austin aka: American Joe. Not until his diary was uncovered at the dawn of the millennium did we know the real story – right from the hero who lived it. Courage. Guts. Pride. That’s how the story of American Joe plays out, a true All American Hero whose legend still lives a bit in all of us. He was an adventurer, a soldier, an educator, and a well traveled and rugged American soul whose story is so big that of course it just had to start in Texas. While Joe’s amazing and inspirational story ended on Memorial Day, 1999, the legend carries on for the hero in all of us. True to Joe, follow your own path and your own passion. Be a hero to those around you. Be an American Joe. We try to keep Joe's legend alive by our actions and deeds, and display our pride, guts and courage through our 100 percent All American Made clothing line.
We are looking for inspirational stories of everyday heroes who have worked to make a difference in their community, school, country or just in someone's life.
The Saga Begins...
Joe was born on the Fourth of July in 1899 on a small cattle ranch in the heart of the Lone Star State, born of meager means and into a family with bigger dreams than fortune – a hard working family – the eldest son of John and Mary Austin. He toiled on the farm as an eldest is expected, working the fields, herding the livestock, helping the family earn an honest, but admittedly small existence. The clever, sometimes impetuous young boy had an adventurous streak that burned inside of him, a streak that would one day make him legend, sparked when he happened upon a shimmering object lodged in the hot, parched Texas soil.
