Everyone: @AOC is selling a "tax the rich" sweatshirt for $58! That's way too expensive.
Me, a former mass market apparel designer: Made in America. Union printed. Sounds about right. That's what it costs to pay everyone a decent wage along the way.

If you made it in Vietnam at a factory that pays workers a fair wage, after imports and duties â you're looking at a market price of about ~$35.
MOQ of 50,000+ units, and a factory discount for repeat orders.
One person's spending is someone's income.

Make it in a foreign sweatshop, at MOQ 100,000, with factories cramped so tight they sometimes burn down and take the whole workforce with it?

Regarding my $35 estimate for a factory in Vietnam.
Everlane does ethical sourcing. They have transparent pricing, and their markup is ~50%.
This cotton sweater was made in Vietnam. It retails for US$65.
So their cost was about US$32.50.
Fuck, I'm good with estimates.
