Leland on American Apparel
American Apparel is based in Downtown Los Angeles and specializes in vertically integrated manufacturing of high quality clothing known for its fit, comfort, affordability, and modern design. American Apparel is also well known for its industry changing manufacturing model; unlike many of its competitors in the clothing industry, American Apparel prides itself on hiring skilled workers from around the globe, paying them living wages, offering affordable health insurance programs, providing on-site safety and medical care in all of its factories, and – now that it’s a publicly traded company – introducing a one-of-a-kind employee stock purchase program. We admire this kind of forward-thinking approach in business and watch eagerly as American Apparel continues to reshape the dynamics of the clothing manufacturing game in positive ways. We didn’t decide to put our Leland Fly Tying name on just any old t-shirt; we chose American Apparel for style AND for their fair and positive approach to business.

Who We Are
“American Apparel is a multinational company operating in 16 countries with employees from all over the world.”
Our Workers
“Clothing manufacturing is a very tough job, but we've always tried to do things differently. In the early days we talked about ‘sweatshop free’ now we talk less, however we continue to provide the same benefits (and more) to our workers.
For us "sweatshop free" was never about criticizing other business models; it was about attempting something new. It comes down to this: not blindly outsourcing, but rather knowing the faces of our workers and providing them the opportunity to make a fair wage.
The average sewer with experience at American Apparel is making about $25,000/yr (i.e. $12/hr, well over twice the federal minimum). This can be higher in some cases. We also offer parking, subsidized public transport, subsidized lunches, free onsite massages, a bike lending program, a program of paid days off, ESL classes and much more. Most importantly we guarantee job security and full-time employment; this is an anomaly in the garment industry, which has historically been dominated by seasonal work.
We also continue to provide all of our employees and their families with company-subsidized, affordable health insurance ($8/week, $1-3/week for children). And we just made everyone's lives a little easier by opening an onsite medical clinic. This facility, which is the first of its kind, offers primary care services along with pediatric, urgent and preventative health care.
As our company continues to grow, we will further improve the work environment. Now a public company, we're very excited about introducing an unprecedented stock program that will make our garment workers shareholders.”
