Where Am I Wearing?

Kelsey Timmerman is the author of "Where am I wearing," based on his first-hand experience with those who are responsible for the clothes we wear. While doing my daily research, I found this article: 9 Things You Should Know About the People and Places That Make Our Clothes

1. 97-percent of our clothes are made abroad.
2. Eighty-five people have a hand in making a single pair of our denim.
3. The garment industry accounts for 75-percent of Bangladesh’s and Cambodia’s exports.
4. Frayed edges and special holes in our garments are the result of a twenty-something girl sitting all day at a powered grinding stone.
5. The average garment worker in Cambodia earns $50/month and supports at least seven people.
6. Garment workers don’t like bowling. (More about that later this week.)
7. Over half of the world’s footwear is made in China – eight billion pairs.
8. One-third of American consumers are willing to pay more for clothes produced under good working conditions.
9. You only get one honeymoon. Don’t take your new bride to a garment factory on yours. Trust me.
