Duckworth Scholarship Program

PARTICIPATION TERMS

Like any true-blue Montana brand, Duckworth was founded on a local ski hill - a ski lift, to be precise. Those fateful conversations between runs formed the cornerstones of our ethos and mission: to create versatile Merino Wool products made exclusively in the USA with Montana-grown wool.

Using best-in-the-world- quality Merino Wool - produced by our co-founders and fourth-generation sheep ranchers, The Helle Family from Dillon, Montana - our apparel is designed for superior performance with stewardship, sustainability and American-made craftsmanship at front of mind.

• The social and economic benefits of domestic manufacturing and/or American "reshoring" efforts as it relates to the apparel industry.
• Explain how these benefits outweigh the advantages of offshore manufacturing.
