It's not American-made fabric. Once upon a time they did say that the cotton is grown in the US. I just looked at their website now, and cannot find even that anymore.
What I did find is on their "about us" page here:
http://www.connectingthreads.com/cfh...4&CSItemID=204, and it talks about their international manufacturing partners:
"Our Manufacturing Partners
Connecting Threads has very high standards for the International manufacturers we choose to work with. Executives from Connecting Threads have visited each of our manufacturers' factories personally to ensure that their facilities and labor practices are in line with both Connecting Threads' and our customers' expectations. Specifically, Connecting Threads works only with manufacturers who:
Institute management practices that respect the rights of all employees
Provide a safe and healthy work place
Promote the health and well-being of all employees
Oppose the use of child labor
Have an active role in the positive development of their local community
