"Made in America” can mean different things, depending on context. It could refer to consumer products created with U.S. labor from raw materials sourced from around the world. It could describe an item sold to the federal government or used in an infrastructure project, where a percentage of it must be composed of American-made components. It could be an item for the U.S. military, which must be American-made from the yarn constructing the textile on up. It often is a custom product or a specialty item with advanced performance characteristics, as the industry that remains in this country is nimble, adaptive and often survives in niches.
