As far as affordable US-made button downs go, these Candy Stripe Oxfords from Individualized are some of the sweetest. Made in New Jersey by a company that’s been doing small batch custom work since 1961, the slim-fit shirts have all the trimmings, including a button-down collar, v-stitched chest pocket and box pleat and locker loop on the back.

Let’s face it, buying American rarely means buying affordable. Due to our country’s (very necessary) laws and regulations regarding compensation, factory conditions, environmental impact, etc., producing goods here costs more, which means the products do too. Add to that the expense of quality materials and fabrications, and prices can go from high to downright prohibitive. However, there are still bargains out there. Durable items that are made in America by workers paid an equitable wage, but don’t require a bank loan to buy. And now, thanks to the newly launched e-tailer Inland Clothing, those items have never been easier to find.
If the recent heatwaves around the country have taught us anything, it’s this: eff sleeves. Enter the Short Sleeve Shirts from Individualized. They’re made in the USA out of summer-friendly cotton fabrics. They feature a button pocket on the chest, box pleat and locker loop on the back and a great slim fit. And they’re on sale at C.H.C.M.
