Non-Sweatshop companies?

Which companies make clothing in non-sweatshop settings / factories? Are any of them represented, directly or indirectly (designers that use AA shirts as a base) on the forum?

Jon.

Off the top of my head, Engineered Garments, Helmet of the Will, Edun, Apolis Activism, and 5EP all use good labor practices.

Just about anything made in Japan would qualify as well...

I thought around 1999 or so they moved the last of their factories to Asia. I was reading that their biggest line is the Wal*Mart line. Sad really. Many companies do the most business at Wal*Mart, another reason to not shop there. We could start a whole different thread on this though.

sad indeed, esp. given the fact that levis are considered "original american" just like zippo or cadillac (at least in europe)!
