DayStar began business in 1998. Scott Hall, founder of DayStar, had been in the manufacturing business since college as a co-op student working with Oxford Industries. His career quickly led him to work with VF as an engineer for Lee Jeans. Mr. Hall advanced through the company and eventually managed one of the largest sewing plants for Lee Jeans in the United States.

After having much success in the apparel world, Scott created his own company. DayStar began as a uniform company selling polo shirts and aprons direct to the public. By 1999, many uniform companies had found DayStar and requested for the company to convert to a supplier and sell through distributors only. DayStar concurred and in 1999 DayStar started selling exclusively through Uniform Distributors.

DayStar's facilities are currently located in Jasper, GA at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. DayStar began in 1998 with two people operating out of 500 square feet to currently employing over 50 people operating out of 28,000 square feet. The company has consistently experienced double digit growth, continuing to show the need for high quality apparel in the United States.

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
