The insane popularity of a single sweatshirt has forced its maker
to expand into four new factories within the last year just to
meet the soaring demand.
The zip-up hoodie, made by San Francisco startup American
Giant, costs $89. It had been on the market for 10 months when a
December 2012 Slate article declared it "the greatest hoodie ever
made" and suddenly sales exploded.
The pace of growth was so rapid
that back-order waits grew to as long as four months. But people
continued placing orders regardless of the wait.
At the time, American Giant had
only one factory in Brisbane, California. The company has since
expanded into a factory in Los Angeles and three more in rural
North Carolina, just outside Raleigh.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
