I hadn't seen the ad, but as I suspected it is less than honest.

I found this at Huffington Post: The analysis is rehash of informationfrom factcheck.org


Yes, Donald Trump, Some Clothes Are Made In The USA
Trump made another incorrect statement.
05/11/2016 11:40 am ET

The following post first appeared on FactCheck.org.

When asked why he doesn’t lead by example and have more of his products from the Donald J. Trump Collection made in the U.S., Trump wrongly responded, “They don’t even make this stuff here.” They do.

When the interviewer cited Brooks Brothers as one example of a company that makes apparel in the U.S., Trump said, “They don’t make here, not that I see.” He’s wrong about that, too.

.........................................

Trump is correct that most clothing sold in the U.S. is made overseas. According to the American Apparel & Footwear Association, 97 percent of apparel and 98 percent of shoes sold in the U.S. are made overseas.

...................................................

But he went too far in claiming that products in the Donald J. Trump Collection — ties, dress shirts, suits, glasses, wallets and other accessories — aren’t made in the U.S. anymore.

[next the AAFA { https://www.wewear.org/} chimes in. They are into sustainability and social justice, so I would take their statements with a grain of salt]

I noted nowhere in the article is the type, or quality of clothing addressed.

Nor is the fact that American Apparel which was held up as a shining example of US made clothing was busted for hiring illegals.

I went out to find information on US made clothing. I found two web pages:

https://homelanddepot.com/

Most of the apparel is sports wear, workman's wear, underwear.

As to Brooks Brothers, I found the following web page of made in American:
