Hello casey46-ga,

I can give you a link to a file of 5000+ garment makers/contractors
located in California that you can download. It contains the name,
address and phone number of each company. It does not provide
information about the type of clothing each company makes or how many
employees they have. Would this meet your needs?

Hello again casey46-ga,

California requires that anyone ?engaged in the business of garment
manufacturing must register with the Labor Commissioner. The
California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement maintains a
database of these registered Garment Manufacturers and Contractors and
makes it available for downloading in either Excel or tab-delimited
text format. This registry currently has over 5000 names listed. Each
listing includes the name and address of the company and its status as
a manufacturer or contractor. Since these are all California companies
they are domestic manufacturers by definition.

I?ve also included a few additional resources regarding the California
garment industry to help you continue your investigations. I trust
that the registry information will meet your needs.

All the best.

In the early 1990s, San Francisco's garment industry employed about
20,000 people, he said. Now that number has shrunk to 2,000 -- a 90
percent decrease.
