Nordstrom will let you search their site with the keyword USA and refine from there. There's a lot of premium denim out there that's also available. I found this directory via Google. 315 has a blog about more than just clothing in her signature. There's also a lot of small designers and boutiques in larger cities. Not everything from Free People is, but there are quite a few if you look. Their We The Free label has a lot. Splendid also manufactures a lot here as does Rachel Pally. Gypsy 05 is another. Most Alisa Michelle jewelry if not all is manufactured here as is Lenny & Eva.
My fave places besides smaller boutiques and mail-order are Nordstrom, Zappos, and ShopBop. There are quite a few places that allow you to search for made in USA items. And that number is growing.
My fave brands right now for mid-range fashion are Amour Vert, Splendid, Three Dots, and Theory. Quite a few mainstream premium denim brands to love as well (Rag & Bone, Citizens of Humanity, JBrand, AG, Paige, Current/Elliott, etc). My fave right now are a pair of BF jeans from CoH.
P.S. If you have any requests or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. One of the great things about writing my blog is that I have gotten to know a looooot of great people who are in the business.

You're welcome 315! Have you seen Imogene + Willie? I still haven't made it to their store, but I love what they're doing with t-shirts and jeans. At one point, they had taco truck Thursday where a food truck would show up and they got live music in weekly after they closed business for the day. It was a party for anyone to show up and learn about the brand.
