I Tried To Build An Entirely Made-In-America Outfit (Is It Even Possible?)

About this video

The Gazette team explores whether it’s possible to assemble a complete classic men’s outfit using only American-made, ready-to-wear clothing. The speaker shops across multiple brands including Allen Edmonds, Alden, Boardroom Socks, Bill’s Khakis, Gitman Brothers, J. Press, Ralph Lauren, Joseph Abboud, and Stetson, selecting pieces and discussing the costs and stylistic considerations of building an all-American wardrobe.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team identifies that many iconic American menswear brands have moved production overseas, though select items and collections remain domestically manufactured
• The Gazette team demonstrates that assembling a complete classic American outfit is possible but comes at a premium price point, totaling approximately $4,619.49 for their curated selection
• The Gazette team emphasizes the importance of versatility and classic styling when investing in made-in-America pieces, prioritizing items like oxford cloth button-down shirts, shell cordovan loafers, and camel hair topcoats as quintessential American pieces
