American Made.
The Intention Lives in the Clothes.
American Trench is a Philadelphia-based brand founded to bring forward the
exceptional manufacturing that exists in the United States through
considered design and a deep respect for clothing.
There's dignity in manufacturing.
You see it in the people and the towns that grew around factories: the pride behind building something with your hands. Their work becomes a skilled career, something refined through years of toil and effective practice.
Where something is made matters. The people who make a garment, the materials they work with, and the decisions made along the way become part of what it is. We work closely with manufacturers across the country to make clothing with that understanding built in.
We seek to work with people who are in our industry because it is their passion. These are the people who pursue perfection in their craft. To create alongside them has always been our mission.
American Trench was founded through a simple question:
Who is still making exceptional clothing in America?
The answer led us from a single trench coat to a much larger network of American manufacturers, mills, knitters, sewers, and craftspeople. Today, we work with partners across the country who bring generations of knowledge and highly specialized skills to their work.
We believe manufacturing is more than the final step in making a garment.
It is part of the garment itself.
Materials Matter
We work with exceptional materials wherever they come from.
Swiss Ventile®, cut and sewn in the Northeast.
American wool, sourced from the midwest and woven in Connecticut.
USA-grown cotton, knit in North Carolina.
Scottish cashmere and Italian wool, knit throughout the South.
The best material for a garment isn’t always the closest one. We seek out the right cloth, yarn, and components, then bring them together with our domestic factory partners.
What “Made in USA” Means to Us
Unless otherwise noted, American Trench products are manufactured in the United States, with raw materials and components assembled into finished goods here.
Many of our products are made in America using American materials. Others combine American manufacturing with exceptional imported materials from longstanding textile traditions around the world. When a product contains imported materials, we identify that information in its description.
Our definition of Made in USA follows the standards established by the Federal Trade Commission. We aim to provide specific information about where each product is made and where its major materials come from whenever possible.
