While textiles used to be an important industry in the United States it is one of the industries that has moved out of the United States for the most part. Nonetheless, there are still a few companies sewing and making garments in this country and those involved with making men’s and boys’ uniforms has actually seen a small increase in production between 2007 and 2008. Since earlier in the decade, however, production figures are down and follow an overall downward trajectory along with all other apparel making industries in the United States. Tomorrow we’ll have the women’s and girls’ team sports uniforms market.
