this is "the cbs overnight news." >> welcome back to "the overnight news." i'm elaine quijano. president trump's continued trade war with china has sent financial markets on a rollercoaster ride. and it doesn't seem likely to end anytime soon. the president is urging manufacturers to find other places to make their goods. and the preference would be to see the products made in the usa. there's one entrepreneur who has achieved that goal, 100% made in america. john blackstone has his story.

>> we're in middlesex, north carolina. >> reporter: six years ago, this manufacturer in rural north carolina, was ready to close. until byron winthrop helped buy the company. >> we spent years moving manufacturing overseas to cheaper standards and lower regulations. >> reporter: in 1980, almost 80% of the clothing bought here was made in america. today, it's around 3%. winthrop says while globalization and trade deals made things cheaper, they brought decades of layoffs and plant closures. >> manufacturing plants are moving to where the workers are cheap. >> we can't compete with those prices. >> i'm a free trade person but 'm also a believer in saying you cannot gut a bunch of communities in the u.s. and move to bangladesh and import the goods again and sell them at the

local dollar store to all these people that don't have jobs. >> reporter: sound familiar? >> we're living through the latest jobs theft in history of the world. >> reporter: president trump is not the first to campaign on bringing back manufacturing jobs. >> there will be a job sucking sound going south. >> there will be no more nafta sellouts of american workers. >> 1.2 million new manufacturing jobs right here in america. >> i think if they don't make a deal, it will be very bad for china. >> reporter: president trump's answer has been tariffs and trade wars. back in 2012, in san francisco, bayard winthrop set up to bring back manufacturing jobs the old-fashioned way, by creating them. winthrop's previous experience was on wall street and silicon fally. but he started with a clothing company, with a big name,

american giant, and a bigger goal -- making everything, from start to finish, in the united states. like a few other clothing companies, trying to manufacture in the u.s., there's a big challenge. all those closed factories have left a thread-bare infrastructure for making appar apparel. this dyed in america? >> it did. we have to bring back one of the dyers to create this program. >> reporter: this involved multiple steps. we followed the chain for american giant's hoodie and learned the jobs are not what they used to be. the seeds of winthrop's big idea are found on farms like this one, in north carolina, where cotton is planted in the spring. >> i need some asphate this morning, please. >> reporter: grower jerry hamil

is looking for help but says few are up to the job. >> the labor force here, the ones that will work are working. and some are not going to work, it makes no difference what they are offered, money, benefits. they are not going to work. >> reporter: so, each season, hamil hires men from mexico on temporary worker visas. come fall, they will pick the cotton and transfer it to the local gin, which removes the seeds. the next stop is parkdale mills in gaffney, south carolina, where raw cotton is cleaned and spun into yarn. parkdale mills has more in common with silicon valley, than it does with the mills seen in the 1979 movie "norma ray." >> i'm going as fast as i can. >> yeah. they're watching me. >> reporter: i come into your mill, i expect to see sally

field and i see robots, instead. >> to stay in business today, you have to automate. >> reporter: andy is the ceo. >> we couldn't survive if it wasn't automated. we have more robots than employees. but the employees are trained to operate the robots. it's the key to our survival. >> reporter: in 1960, a mill like this could have had 2,000 workers. today, about 25 work here, producing yarn every week. it's knitted into fabric and sent away to carolina cotton works, where it's dried and dyed. >> there's a series of hooks on the rolls. >> reporter: the founder, page ashby and sons, hunter, and brian, started working with winthrop in 2015, after realizing he doesn't the typical

client. >> it contradicted the conventional thinking of taking cost out and offering something cheaper than everything else. on top of everything else, he'll make it here in north carolina. my response is, this is the guy we've been dreaming about. where he's been for the past 15 years? >> reporter: for tinal stop, the finished fabric goes to the knitwear plant, that winthrop helped buy, eagle sportswear. >> each modular line is making part of the sweatshirt. >> reporter: to improve productivity, winthrop replaced assembly lines with groups of sewers working in teams. they get extra pay for meeting quotas. >> reporter: this is a three-woman modelular sew line. they're at 90. their efficiency is at 1 23%.

>> reporter: you make more money? >> yeah. it's more money. >> reporter: donna has worked her 25 years. >> we try every day. >> reporter: i'm holding you up from meeting your goal. >> yeah. >> reporter: you have to pay these people a good deal more than you would if they were sewing in china or vietnam. >> yeah. i would argue that's a good thing, right? >> reporter: keeping this final step here in the u.s., winthrop says, adds as much as $17 to the overall cost of the hoodie. to remove overhead, american giant sells online, with two stores. the final price tag from the catten fields, to the gin, to the mill, to the dyer, to the knitwear plant, is no bargain. $108. the sweatshirt is $108. >> what we want to do with this

item, is make something you're going to have for decades. >> reporter: in this era of fast fashion, winthrop seems out of step. but his hoodie has been selling well, since the digital magazine, slate, calls it, the greatest hoodie ever made. >> the article came out. in 24 hours, we sold everything we ever made. >> reporter: he wants to inspire other companies to manufacture here. for him, the made in usa label creates both jobs and pride. are you selling an idea? an image, as much as clothing? >> i think we're selling a value system. stand for things that matter. stand for american manufacturing. stand for people who are making stuff. when we buy things and we do it consciously and we do it with an eye toward understanding how these little votes that we make have an impact attached to them. we'll be better off.
