We Can Sew It — If the Materials Exist
The Cost, Sourcing, and Demand Realities Behind U.S. Tactical Gear Manufacturing
About This Episode
Rain operates in a part of U.S. manufacturing that many assume has already moved overseas: tactical and technical cut-and-sew. But the real constraint isn’t labor or machines — it’s the shrinking domestic material base and the cost realities that come with it.
Alex Gallo explains how Berry compliance, government demand, and reshoring interest create opportunity, but also why U.S. manufacturing only works if suppliers at the yarn, fabric, and thread level can survive. This is a clear look at what it actually takes to keep textile production in America.
