The PGCA does not have to buy and keep inventory. Whomever we choose to supply us must be directed to the American based supplier who will provide American made shirts, caps, etc.
I did all of the buying for my IBEW local. We used several companies that provided only U.S. supplied Ts, polos, and caps (and most were Unionized whether you like that or not but that was a requirement for us). King Louie provides great polos. The last I ordered a few years back were sold for $15 for Ts and $12 for caps. I know that has gone up but when we were paying $20 for a foreign made PGCA T shirt that falls apart, I don't think paying a little more to keep Americans employed hurts a person who owns one or more Parkers. Mills had Spin Wheels make the American made white PGCA caps.
