The imposition of high tariffs on imports from China (145%) and other countries (10%) has created uncertainty for US apparel executives. While these tariffs are intended to revive domestic manufacturing, many industry leaders believe they could instead lead to business failures. Steven Borrelli, a fashion brand founder, advocates for more time to adapt to such tariff changes, expressing concern for American jobs. Entrepreneur Todd Shelton's company mirrors these challenges, relying on overseas materials despite domestic production, resulting in increased costs for consumers due to tariffs.
