That's certainly a valid concern. Some child labor problems in Pakistan involves Soccer balls- they are made on a piecework basis, usually at home. The parents then make the kids sew up the balls. I understand steps are being taken to require soccer balls to be assembled in the factory to keep the kids out.
Tailoring is done by grown men. Here is a picture of our Nightstalker kilts being pleated, and another showing our kilts being sewn. I will take more pictures when I visit next year (my wife isn't too thrilled about my business travels)
Anyway, having worked for a few years at a large contract sewing facilty in MN, I can assure you that "Made in America" does not always mean "made by Americans"
