China produces 58,000 tons of silk each year．Yet one of the most popular silk companies in the world is Jim Thompson, a brand based in Thailand．Thompson, a Delaware native, was trained to be an architect in the mid－1920s, but then joined the United States army during the World War II．He was soon appointed to the CIA and traveled around the world, including Thailand, where he fell in love with the people and their country．
Being aware of the potential in silk trade, Thompson returned to Thailand to start his own silk business upon his retirement in 1946.

After the establishment of his company, silk costumes soon appeared in Broadway plays and popular films such as Ben Hur, and Thai royalty, such as Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, began wearing silk often．Many also think his work contributed greatly to the Thai economy, since the silk industry continues to employ thousands of Thai citizens even today．
