The founder of Charles Tyrwhitt explains why his company doesn’t make shirts in China

Charles Tyrwhitt is curtailing production in China after receiving customer pressure. The contract with a cotton supplier in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region ended in July, reducing the number of shirts manufactured in China. “We are responding to customer demands,” Wheeler said. “Many customers say they don’t want to make shirts in China. They hate the Chinese government and have a field of manufacturing in China that uses forced labor, which we have done so far. I’m away from that for now."
