i heard that american apparel imports cotton from china to produce it-s shirts in the states. i tried to find more information about the source of their textile capitol but was unable as they are currently expanding production and sales to china...

I don't know who sells it and to whom but when I was going through north florida and south Georgia on a particular highway I saw scores of cotton feilds. I know along time ago the south was known for its cotton production. The good quality cotton is going to someone. Clothing with all cotton is the most expensive and some companies are making sure they get the most of it. Perhaps you already know who those companies are. All we need to do is look in the stores and see the names of the companies that are charging big bucks for the all cotton garments.
