75 Brands that are still made in the USA

Great information here, but buyer beware. Just because a brand is featured in this list, not everything made by that brand is made in the USA. For example, the first brand listed (Weber Grills) only makes some of its grills in the USA. I have a Weber Genesis grill which was made in the USA when I bought it several years ago. But that particular grill no longer qualifies for the 'Made in USA' label.

The same goes for New Balance, which makes about 25% of its shoes in the USA. But that doesn't mean we should penalize New Balance for this low domestic percentage since brands like Reebok, Nike, and Adidas make nearly all their footwear in foreign countries.

It's good to see American Plastic Toys featured since every toy it makes is produced in the United States of 100% American components.

If you have questions about any of the other brand names featured, feel free to email me at roger@howtobuyamerican.com and I'll give you the scoop.

Irish Spring makes several types of body wash. Some are made in the USA (the ones I buy) and some are made in Mexico. The shocking part is that they are all priced the same in the stores, even though Mexican wages are one-eighth of U.S. wages. On each bottle, there is a numerical code. Some codes have "US" and some have "MEX" with them. Simply choose the "US" coded products.
