There is a very significant difference in prices of denim coming from US and from China. However, this is mainly due to the fact that US companies are selling at higher prices and their fabrics are not underinvoiced. However, its very difficult to find the right price of Chinese products as they under invoice their prices to avoid duties.
Another point needs to be kept under consideration. US is now losing all its mills with the closing of companies like DNA , Cone etc . Now only one mill is left and it might be a matter of time before it is also closed. This means more fabric will come into Mexico from other countries. Also Chinese might lose some market as their prices rise and under invoicing gets difficult.
