China's Outlet Mall is NOT a "American Corporation". It is a GLOBALIST Corporations,with globalist goals and influence. I buy nothing there if I have any other options.

---

And I hope you drive a Ford, not some imported globalist piece of crap.

---

Why? Are you so delusional that you think Fords are made in America?

How much Wal-Mart stock do you own?

---

Oh, I didn't notice your answer.....

But my answer to your question is: Zero stock. I don't buy into the "Walmart is the devil" crowd either.

Used to be LLBean was primarily Made in USA. That changed about 25 years ago. Now all the clothings say "Imported".

Except their trademark Maine hunting boots

Don't get me started on that TM! I've watch the quality tumble, I suppose that there has been some decrease in price but I've never really bothered to figure that out. I'm just very pissed off that the quality has gone so far down hill, I can't recall the last time I've ordered anything, probably when I got a gift card here and there.

I have 3 versions of these double shirts, called a river man shirt originally if I recall correctly. The ones that are about 20 years old are still in great shape, rich thick supple cotton on both layers, colors still strong, no rips or tears, seams still sound, etc. A couple are about 15 years old and the thickness of the 2 layers is remarkably thinner, they didn't hols their shape and the seams are starting to unravel in a few places, etc. The newest are about 10 years old and the thickness of the cotton is about the same as a cheap T shirt, the inner layer is practically a guaze! Needless to say I will never order them again and mostly wear the 20 year old ones at this point. I may make rags out of the newer ones at some point.

(And if anyone wonders why I still wear clothes 20+ years old there are a few factors:
1. They used to be very high quality materials
2. I am a very good launderer, line-air dry almost everything and just air fluff in the dryer to soften up a bit.
3. I am neat and clean, rarely spill food or drink on myself, and rarely get stained even while working.

Now watch, I probably spill red gravy on myself later!)

I hate to post from a progressive site but read this before you declare your love for Wally World:

I still shop there, but shop target when I can.

I hear you. All my work clothes come from Ebay and estate sales because the crap is cheap and the old stuff is way better. My work boots come from Duluth Trading Co because they still make the old style mock toe boots...made in the USA. They last forever and you can keep cobbling them after that.



(I won't say anything about my dress clothing. It's all high end Italian designer stuff. That might set of Sneaky for not buying American.)

Thanks for the tip on boots, I get that Duluth catalog in the mail and will have to take a look. (Boots and shoe wear in general have also become hard to find a good quality.)

I wear old "dress clothing" as well but very rarely - a suit and tie is for a funeral only. Most of my sport coats and dress slacks are all going on 20+ years old as well for the same reasons. I've got BB blazers that are closer to 30 years old and still look new!

Oddly enough, most of my shirts are Brooks Brothers. They custom make them for me and it isn't that much more than off the rack. I still wear french cuffs and having them made is about the only way to get them anymore.

4. Somehow I stayed thin, while the other guys got fat

---

LOL, that too! I hadn't heard that some in ages, cool tune!

If I really press the issue I have a couple of sweaters and a couple of corduroys from High School that I can squeeze into if I don't breathe too much, even still have a pair of Clarks Wallabees from HS (when they were made in Ireland) that I can knock around in!

I bet that they are hard to find. I can't recall the last time I wore cuff links, may have been in the 1970s or 80s, about the same with tie tacks and tie bars!
