sweatshop free in NYC?

hello.

Just moved to Brooklyn. Partner needs to buy pants and wants them to be sweatshop free and good for the environment, etc. So far the only place I've been able to find (that is in our price range of under $100) is American Apparel, who I am on the fence with.

any thoughts or suggestions. She likes to be able to try them on, so online or catalog doesn't work.

Thanks for anything you got for me!
