Favorite Made in America brands and pieces?

What are you guys wearing to support good ol’ American manufacturing? As my wardrobe grows, I’m looking to buy more stuff made in the USA, both for work (business formal) and outside the office.

I’ll start: Alden shoes. Classic, and has a store in midtown.
