    Hudson analyzed the origins of 50 random pieces of clothing and found they came from many countries around the world, but none from the US. The majority came from Vietnam (34%) and China (26%) where low wages and lack of safety regulations allow for cheap manufacturing costs. This outsourcing of clothing production to other countries results in fewer jobs for US workers. The project surprised Hudson by revealing how globally sourced his clothing items were.
