So you don't know? Or just ignorant to the difference between SOURCING (which includes almost the entire apparel industry) and actually relocating jobs overseas (i.e. outsourcing)?
Trump's "outsourcing" is mostly private label business that is simply leveraging a brand name (basically what his hotel/real estate business has been the past 20 years). There's no jobs to "bring back" because he's not a manufacturer, he's a middle man just slapping a tag on an item produced by another company. Maybe there are instances where he's built an actual factory overseas, but I don't think those jobs would be a HUGE number.
Trump's business is the Trump brand. The majority of his business the past 20 years or so has been licensing his name. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even actually buy and sell those clothing lines, but simply collects royalties for use of his name.
