(Republican) Kid Rock’s Made In Detroit tees not actually made in Detroit.

Susan Tompor: Kid Rock's clothing line says 'Made in Detroit' -- but isn't

...

Some days, driving north or south on Woodward, I get a bit choked up when I hear him sing: "I heard them say they're shuttin' Detroit down. But I won't leave cuz' this is my hometown."

Those are fightin' words, the kind of don't-you-go-there spirit that keeps this town kicking. And yes, the kind of words that make Kid Rock a popular personality here.

Made in Detroit.

So why in the world are Kid Rock's high-end "Made in Detroit" T-shirts made in the Dominican Republic? Or some other country?
