I am a conscientous consumer who likes to know where and how my clothing is manufactured (i.e. sweatshop free and fair wages in a local context). While there are some brands and retailers who offer this type of garment off the rack (i.e. Fair Indigo), it is very difficult to come by styles appropriate to professionals. I've decided that a good option is to invest in custom tailoring where I can see the working conditions, ask about the wages of those doing the sewing, etc. FAce to face accountability. Anyone have suggestions of tailors overseas? In Ohio?
