Fabric bolts and thread spools on workshop shelves

Soho Apparel Group, a private-label clothing maker that supplies major retailers, said it plans to triple its USA manufacturing, warehousing and logistics footprint by 2026, TheStreet reported on May 27, 2025.

The plan

  • The company is based in a 300,000-square-foot facility in the City of Industry, California.
  • Its customers include Nordstrom, Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington, Tillys and Dillard’s.
  • Founder James Chen tied the expansion to the administration’s push for domestic production.
  • The company also announced limited-edition political merchandise, which TheStreet said could draw mixed reactions from shoppers.

“California was once a powerhouse of American manufacturing.”

Why it matters for Made in USA

Private-label suppliers fill the racks at discount and department stores. More USA production there could put USA-made tags in front of budget shoppers. Whether those garments can carry an unqualified Made in USA label depends on where the fabric and other materials are made.
