There was once a garment district in NYC.
Well, there still is, but it used to be a main center of garment manufacturing in the US. Perhaps the main center at one point. Now it's just an appendage of Chelsea where the Fashion Institute of Technology is and some designers.

Where I grew up you could hardly move without coming across an out-of-commission cotton mill. A lot of them are still there, they're generally used as warehouses and offices - one big one was turned into a hypermarket. Apparently, there were 60 mills operating in the fairly small town in the 1920's. - population now is about 100,000.

Right after the World War 2, some of the clothes making moved to Japan.
Then Japan got too expensive, so it moved to Taiwan
Then Taiwan got too expensive, so it moved to mainland China
Then mainland China got too expensive, so it moved to Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc.
Soon, those will become too expensive, so they will look for another cheap country

After 4 years of Biden/Harris, the US should be well positioned to take over cheap manufacturing from 3rd world countries... Okay, maybe 8 years.

@LuFins-Dad Well, President Trump couldn’t bring back manufacturing. I guess it is up to Vice President Biden to do so!
