But the brand's wares, from knit T-shirts to zip-up hoodies and disco pants, are still available for purchase online. That's because the brand was purchased by Canadian company Gildan Activewear in 2017. Charney went on to start a new company called Los Angeles Apparel, which manufactures its products in the LA area. Los Angeles Apparel shares some qualities with the company Charney founded — it buys fabric and yarn made in the U.S. and intends to become "the leading player in U.S. clothing manufacturing," according to its website.
