Ask HN: How to find manufacturer for fabric product?

Non-technical question, but I've hacked a real world product with an enhancement. It's a fabric product and this device will be a household name.

I need to find a factory that can mass produce them out of cotton.

I need to find a sweat shop, except one that isn't bad for the employees. Where do I find one of these? Is there a directory?

Be careful on alibaba and any of those type of sites though. Lots of scammers and middlemen posing as manufacturers.
