The company I work for, Watkins, does all of its processing and packing here in the U.S. Although we carry a lot of spices and of course some spices must be imported.

Some mass-produced items are still made in the US, too. Most C.C. Filson woolen clothing; Pendleton blankets; Kershaw and Benchmade knives; most All-Clad cookware; Limmer handcrafted hiking boots; Russell Mocassin shoes and boots; Kitchen-Aid stand mixers; many Danner boots and socks; Thorlo socks; Pro Tool’s Woodsman’s Pal; Bowery Lane bicycles; some pants and shirts by Schaefer; and Diamond Gusset jeans.

The above is just a partial list; I’m sure there are other firms making products in the US. The problem is many of us are convenience shoppers buying mass-produced items like buckets, spatulas and underwear at the local discount store.
