Buck Mason CEO Erik Allen Ford shares why his company sells t-shirts made strictly from American-grown cotton.

"We make products all over the world. And so, we're very familiar with the global supply chain costs," the CEO told FOX Business Wednesday.

"But, in some circumstances… why are you going to grow the cotton in Georgia and then ship it to Korea for spinning - then to maybe China for cutting and sewing - and then ship it back to the U.S.A to fulfill to your customers, when you can grow it, you can knit it, you can sell it, and you can dye it right here in the U.S.A., and then ship to your customer," the CEO explained Wednesday.

A worker watches a Deere & Co. CS690 cotton stripper during harvest in a field outside Rogers, Texas, U.S. Ford argued that domestic production is better for company "speed, efficiency and ultimately quality." An additional advantage, the CEO noted, is maintaining the ability to keep his team "close to the needle" while simultaneously manufacturing products at a "great cost."

Supporting this, Buck Mason sources its cotton from California, Texas, and Georgia. One farm – the Davis Family Farm – is located a mere 90 miles from the company's manufacturing facility in Waynesboro, GA.
