The Office of Textiles and Apparel at the US International Trade Administration has a handy portal to help sellers find vendors who manufacture products made in the USA.
Specific to the textiles and apparel industries, the portal allows you to search for vendors of
children’s wear (including infants), men’s and boy’s, or women’s and girl’s
apparel, in addition to accessories and footwear, technical textiles as well as
soft furnishings.
You can
further search by fabrics, whether of wool, cotton, upholstery, silk and other
fabrics.
Whether
searching for a cut and sew contractor, input supplier, manufacturer or other
type of business, the information you will get back includes an entity’s contact
information, whether or not they export, production capacity and production
locations.
You can also
learn if they have design capabilities, have any special washes or treatments
available, certifications offered and many other details.

Thanks for your comment! Indeed the Buy American Act is different and after viewing the video, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions. Feel free to post your comment here or email me at clark.deanna@gmail.com
