Years ago when the major garment mills sent manufacturing offshore (NAFTA) there was apparent disregard for QC, with a high rate of defectives. Not anymore.

The reality is even harsher - the quality work is done offshore, now. Domestic garments, on average, are dramatically inferior. There is some quality available from Canada, but very little from US suppliers.

I expect this trend to continue across all industries.

Oh there’s quality stuff made in the USA, and some of my accounts insist on it. There’s a few small eastern state mills that are still manned by ‘english speaking’ union folk, but most of the made in the USA labels mean sewn in the USA by illegal labor union or not.
