Place of origin
The United States
American cloth tells two stories. The first is workwear built for cold and labor: the buffalo check and the Mackinaw of the northern woods. The second is the synthetic century, run largely out of DuPont's laboratories, which gave the world nylon, acrylic, spandex, and, later, the recycled-bottle fleece that remade outdoor clothing.
