From the US Swrve site:
"Where are your garments made?
as we have grown our small in-house workshop is not longer sufficient to supply the demand for our stuff. we have partnered with a few factories around the world to produce our clothes to our strict high quality standards. we have also made sure that these factories follow strict humane and ethical principles and have pleasant working conditions and fair wages for their workers. we use third-party verification of this including the apparel industry standard WRAP certification. find out more about WRAP here : www.wrapcompliance.org/
if you prefer to have your garments made in the US, our _blk label line will always be made either in our in-house shop, or for a few select pieces where we lack the expertise or tradition, we will partner with the experts in the field. an example is our wax cotton jacket that is made in Manchester by a company that has been making waxed cotton garments and other fine apparel since 1917."
