With the controversial made-in-China outfits Ralph Lauren designed for Team USA to wear at the Olympics Opening Ceremony drawing the ire of not only fashionistas, but Washington as well, hipster outfitter American Apparel is offering to design its own versions of the patriotic outfits. The clothing company is vocal about its commitment to manufacturing its garments only in the United States, and is extending an impressive offer: “American Apparel could start working on uniforms today and have them in London within seven days.” Ralph Lauren’s current contract with the U.S. Olympics extends until 2020.
