American made t-shirts today don't even cost $30.

What does "American made" mean? Is the raw fabric also made in America or is it just cut and sewn together in America?

Here is an example: https://www.allamericanclothing.com/collections/shirts/produ...

According to the website it’s compliant with the Berry Amendment, made in California, $15. From what I understand Berry Amendment “compliance” means all raw material and manufacturing is exclusively US sourced and US manufactured.

A quick comparison I saw was this:

  A “Made in USA” jacket could have fabric from China but still be assembled in the U.S.

  A Berry Compliant jacket must have U.S.-made fabric, thread, zippers, and even labels!
There’s a lot of different variations of these products in general and this is just one example.
