"Crafting performance apparel for the competitive runner requires a relentless pursuit of the best materials and manufacturers. From our Massachusetts-made Varsity Cotton to our lightweight, Swiss-made Eliot Stretch fabric, we scour the globe for materials that perform for the garment’s specific function. Our factory relationships are critical - we work tirelessly to find the best global partners and push one another to deliver the highest quality product possible."
Apparel-maker Tracksmith is coy about both the provenance of its product and the criteria its global partners are required to meet. Quality and reliability, no doubt, but sustainable and ethical business and employment practices as well?
In any case, I don't need its overpriced "performance" kit to run fast; if I fancied the retro look, I'd pop by the second-hand shops first.
