January 18, 2012
Pennsylvania-based organization dedicated to educating consumers that buying U.S.-made products strengthens the American Dream
GREENVILLE, SC – January 18, 2012 – Zachary Painter, co-founder of Greenville, South Carolina based Loggerhead Apparel, has been named a Board Member of Pennsylvania-based “American Made Matters.” Loggerhead Apparel became a member of the organization dedicated to educating consumers of the importance of American manufacturing last year, along with more than 40 other companies that produce their goods in the United States.
The group seeks to emphasize that U.S. produced products typically offer greater reliability, more durability, superior innovation and enhanced safety – plus the more environmentally friendly production process through EPA compliance and the use of less energy to transport the goods to market.
All of Loggerhead Apparel’s products are 100% American-made, and the company donates 10% of each sale to sea turtle conservation efforts, making them a natural fit for the American Made Matters brand. In the first full year of business, Loggerhead Apparel will have raised $10,000 for sea turtle conservation, and have its products in 30 stores from Virginia to South Florida.

About Loggerhead Apparel
Loggerhead Apparel provides premium, American-grown and made clothing and accessories. The concept was born in early 2009 in the minds of two South Carolina natives. One a product of the Lowcountry, who grew up on the coast just north of Charleston, the other a product of the Upstate, the grandchild of mill workers in the textile town of Spartanburg. Their passion and pride for the state of South Carolina, its people and its beauty, its wildlife and its economy, led to Loggerhead Apparel.
