I was wondering if anyone else is paying attention to the labels on their outerwear and where your clothes are coming from? I started knocking brands last year in reviews that had tags promoting third world countries. Sure the name brand gear is rad, it works well, and even makes us look cool but at what cost?
Up until the mid 60's we used to make almost all the clothing and textiles in the United States. Guessing this is about the time big business found out about cheap labor in foreign markets and jumped ship.
It's interesting some of the hard good players in the industry have been able to continue to manufacture in North America however the textile industry says it's impossible.
So would you be willing to pay say double, for a jacket made in the United States?
Do you care where your Outerwear is made, or clothes in general?
