The Best American Brands: The Full List!

Best American Clothing Brands

• Levi's – a world-renowned jeans manufacturer from which, in fact, all denim originated. Has been making the best jeans in the world since 1853. The company is still owned by the heirs of Levi Strauss. The best American jeans brand.
• Tommy Hilfiger – iconic red-white-and-blue clothing. The brand was founded in 1979 and quickly achieved great success. Tommy Hilfiger’s talent has been recognized with numerous awards, including “Best American Designer” and six “Designer of the Year” awards.
• Ralph Lauren – a legendary brand famous for its polo shirts and the logo featuring a man on horseback playing the sport. Ralph Lauren founded the company in 1967 in New York, starting with ties that he personally sold in a small store. Today his business is worth $9 billion.
• Michael Kors – one of the most famous American clothing brands, founded less than forty years ago in 1981. Michael Kors started it at just 19 years old. The brand is especially known for its women’s clothing collections as well as high-quality watches, handbags, and accessories. Fans of Michael Kors style include Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, and Madonna.
• Calvin Klein – like Ralph Lauren, the brand is known for its polo shirts as well as slim-fit jeans, men’s underwear, and youthful clothing in general (although the company was founded back in 1968). Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Diane Kruger, Shailene Woodley, Emma Stone, Katie Holmes, and, among men, Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg wear Calvin Klein clothing.
• Gap – one of the largest clothing stores in the world and the biggest American chain with 150,000 employees. The company was founded in 1969 and is known for its own manufacturing. Gap clothing contains no synthetics — only 100% cotton and natural materials, with a wide selection of colors and sizes.
• Alexander Wang – a premium brand from an American prodigy. At just 18, Alexander Wang moved to New York to pursue his dream. From an early age he collaborated with fashion magazines such as GQ and Vogue, and in 2007 he created his own clothing brand, known for high quality and a distinctive style where every piece is a statement. Wang is only 36 now, but all Hollywood stars already wear his clothes.
• Under Armour – one of the “youngest” U.S. brands. The company was founded only in 1996. Nevertheless, it is already a business worth more than $5.2 billion, with stores around the world (UA is especially loved in London and Japan). The company is known for its sportswear — a cool and comfortable brand.
• DKNY – a premium brand with top-tier women’s clothing. Donna Karan New York is fashion and style. The company has an online store in Russia, but prices there are 149% (!!) higher than on the American site. We conducted research. Many items can be bought in America 10-15 thousand rubles cheaper.
• Columbia – the brand is known primarily for outerwear. Very warm jackets and coats. The label appeared in 1938 and is best known for its famous “transformer jacket” three-in-one.
• Supreme – a hype brand; wearing its clothing is considered the ultimate achievement. All collections are exclusive and sold in very small batches, so getting something with the coveted Supreme logo in hypebeast youth culture is a sign of coolness and status. Clothing on the official site is not very expensive, but it can almost immediately be resold for 5-10 times more, which many people do.
• The North Face – the company was founded in 1966 by two amateur climbers. They started with a small shop selling equipment in San Francisco and eventually turned it into one of the top places in the U.S. to buy climbing and hiking gear. Today The North Face produces its own clothing and footwear for hiking enthusiasts. Items for sports and extreme cold. Backpacks, sleeping bags, tents. Everything for people who lead an active lifestyle.

Best American shoe brands

• Nike – a brand created by a student-athlete from the University of Oregon and his coach. Now – the most famous and expensive shoe brand in the world. Many footballers and basketball players wear Nike sneakers, and last year Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge set a world record in them, running a marathon in less than 2 hours. Ideal footwear for sports and just comfort. Select the country United States (top right corner) to see prices one and a half times lower.
• Converse – the most famous “sneakers”. The brand is more than 110 years old; everything started in 1908 with the production of galoshes and other rubber footwear. Then the company switched to shoes for basketball – a new sport that was gaining popularity in the USA.
• New Balance – the most “copied” brand in China. If you’ve been to the Celestial Empire, you may have noticed that there are dozens of stores there trying to copy these branded NB. But no one succeeds. The brand started in 1906 in Boston. New Balance sneakers in the USA cost 2 times less than in Russia, and if you need even cheaper, the store has an official outlet JoesNewBalanceOutlet.com, where everything is sold with discounts from 50%.
• Vans – another prominent sneaker manufacturer, one of the most popular American shoe brands. Founded in 1966, it initially sold moccasins. Among its main clients are racers, BMX enthusiasts, and skateboarders. Now it is known mainly for its sneakers with black-and-white design.
• Jordan – in 1984 Nike released sneakers specifically for Michael Jordan, and later for the public. They became the most popular in the history of the brand. As a result, in 1997 Jordan was established as a separate brand, with a cool jumping Michael logo and its own section on the Nike site.
• Guess – an American brand of clothing, footwear, watches, and jewelry. It started in France in 1970 but became known for its jeans in New York. The trademark logo (a red triangle with a question mark) now adorns many premium accessories, including handbags and women’s boots.

Best American electronics brands

• Apple – any list of the best US brands would be incomplete without the famous “apple,” brainchild of Steve Jobs. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, headphones and so on. It’s easiest to buy on Amazon; for Apple there has recently been a special section. Products come directly from Apple, are often sold at discounts, plus there’s free shipping from Amazon across the US, and there are no problems buying from Russia (unlike Apple.com).
• HP – cool and affordable laptops, especially 2-in-1 models. In America they cost 30–40% less than in Russia, like other electronics. That easily offsets the shipping cost.
• Dell – laptops for home and work; unfortunately they’re on our blacklist. The official US site is very reluctant to ship to forwarders or accept cards from Russia. It’s much easier to buy on Amazon again.
• Microsoft – laptops, game consoles, tablets, smartphones, VR headsets. There are no issues buying from Russia. On the contrary, it’s very advantageous and the company runs near-constant sales.
• Intel – a well-known American brand, developer of graphics cards, processors and other electronics. From California, Silicon Valley. Buying graphics cards directly in America is far more profitable than in Russia. Top models can save you tens of thousands of rubles. You can get them from B&H and Newegg – two of the biggest electronics retailers in the US. And, of course, Amazon is always a good and convenient option.
• AMD – also from California; AMD’s office is literally minutes away from Intel’s, even though the companies are fierce rivals. Like Intel, the company does not sell its own processors and graphics cards on its official website. You have to go to Newegg, B&H, eBay or Amazon.

Best American cosmetic brands

• Sephora – the main place to buy American cosmetics, thousands of brands are represented here, all the most popular ones are available, plus with tons of reviews from professionals, so it's easy to pick exactly what you need. American women mostly buy their cosmetics on this site.
• MAC – a brand of professional makeup artists that has won the love of ordinary American women due to its low price. Refill eyeshadows, lipstick, and makeup brushes (especially brush No. 217) are especially valued.
• Urban Decay – interesting packaging design and quality products inside. Most often through us they buy eyeshadows of this brand. New lines of cosmetics are often released for new films. For example, there are lines for “Snow White and the Huntsman” or “Oz the Great and Powerful”.
• Elf – eyes, lips, face. A brand from California, founded in 2004. Only vegan products, created without harming animals, but at the same time super-duper-budget. Cosmetics cost $5, $8 or $10. Just a few hundred rubles – for very high-quality things! The secret is that the brand doesn't advertise itself at all, but is mainly sold on its own website, ElfCosmetics.com. Now this site is visited every month by 2 million beauties who like to take care of themselves.

• Michael Kors – handbags with exclusive design from the master. Very expensive, but there is a sale for them via the link on the official website. Items that cost from 25 thousand rubles in Russia and from $250 in America are priced at $150 or even cheaper there – thanks to large (albeit temporary) discounts.
• Kate Spade – Kate Spade appeared in the fashion world in 1993 with her special, refined and smart style. Her bags are practical, elegant and invariably attract attention. This brand is a sales leader at Zappos and 6PM in the handbag category (apparently because there are good discounts there). The most popular models are Veranda Place and Cedar Street. Prices from $100 to $1000.
• Tory Burch – known for his bright orange handbags and fairy-tale-like logo (two ornate letters “T” placed one on top of the other). Interesting handbags with tiled, graphic design. Tory Burch is not afraid to experiment; printed elements or interesting cutouts are often found in his models. Prices start from $300.
• Rebecca Minkoff – one of the most daring American handbag brands. Here you can find both classic leather handbags and bright velvet clutches or suede models with sequins. But the brand is best known for its “rock star” style. Black leather and several silvery metallic accents. There are even options with spikes and other sharp elements. Clutch prices in America start from $100, bags – from $300.

Best American Eyewear Brands

• Ray Ban – the most famous sunglasses brand in the States. Launched in 1937. Popularized the “aviator” model, which was initially produced by order of the US Air Force. Pilots and air fleet generals often appeared on camera wearing these aviator glasses, and as a result they became popular with the public. All Hollywood stars wear them, and Audrey Hepburn chose Ray Ban glasses from the Wayfer series for the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Famous glasses on Amazon start at $80.
• Polaroid – any list of American brands would be incomplete without Polaroid. This brand is known to us primarily for its cameras and printers, but an entire style of “polarized” sunglasses originated from here as well. There are many models, but they are not sold on the official website (only descriptions there). The easiest and cheapest way to buy them is on Amazon. Prices start from $35 (2150 rubles).
• Tom Ford – a world-famous brand founded by Tom Ford, who headed the fashion houses Gucci and Yves Saint Lauren. He launched his own brand in 2006. This is an American brand of clothing, perfumery, accessories, and, of course, handbags. The first store opened in 2007 in New York. Exclusive handbags with the TF logo start at a thousand dollars.
• Oakley – a brand for people interested in sports. Advanced glasses with the latest technologies. Founded in 1975 by professional motorcycle racer Jim Jannard. He started his company with three hundred dollars in his pocket, and now it’s a company with revenue of more than $500 million a year. If you need cool sports glasses, from mountaineering to motorcycle racing, Oakley glasses on the official website start at $180.

Best American Watch Brands

• Bulova – In 1875, Joseph Bulova, a native of Czechia, founded a workshop for producing luxury watches in New York. Initially, he ordered all parts from Swiss factories, and in 1912 he opened his own factory there. Watches for Americans were made in Switzerland, and this remains true to this day. The best watchmakers from the small mountainous country work to produce Bulova Watch. The movements inside are also exclusively Swiss. The company is especially famous for its elegant women's designs. It was watches of this brand that Americans took with them to the Moon (the Apollo 15 crew used them for orientation). The price difference with Russia is particularly surprising: watches that cost 27 thousand rubles in the RF are 3 times cheaper in the US with discounts, from $130 (8300 rubles). The brand's products are not sold on the official website; Bulova watches need to be purchased on Amazon.
• Diesel – one of the most popular watch brands among Americans themselves. The brand began its journey in Italy, but now its main sales come from the USA. There aren't many watch models, but they are all stylish and reliable. Prices start from $160, but discounts are often available on the official website. A good option for people with an active work schedule.
• Shinola – cool traditional men's watches. With straps made of genuine leather or stainless steel. Prices start from $550 (and in Russia – from 45-59 thousand rubles). The brand was founded in 2011 in Detroit. The watches are sold in limited quantities.
• RGM – one of the most expensive and high-quality American watch brands. Each model on the site has nearly more information written about it than car manufacturers write about cars. And it's not for nothing: the cost of RGM watches is also like that of a car. Even directly in the US – from $5000. Moreover: you simply cannot buy on the official website, you need to sign up for a waiting list. They are also not simply sold on Amazon and eBay.
• Fossil – one of the best American manufacturers of wristwatches since 1984. High-quality and functional models with great variety. There are even smartwatches, which are also very popular. All watches are sold in branded metal boxes. Discounts are regularly held on the company's official website, allowing you to buy Fossil watches 30-40% cheaper. We highly recommend them. For such a low price the quality is amazing.
• Timex – one of the oldest American watch brands, more than 150 years old. Books have been published about it, and the brand's products are exhibited in museums. These are affordable watches with good quality that are durable. Thanks to Timex, the Naugatuck Valley where the company is located is now called the American Switzerland. The brand is one of the world leaders in watch production. At the same time, Timex watch prices on the official website start from $129, which is very inexpensive.
