Today I helped the Chinese economy.
And I didn't shop at Walmart.
At our local factory outlet mall (Tanger Center) I visited the Vanity Fair outlet.
Bought a pair of black slacks and a pair of navy blue ones.
Cotton/polyester.
Wrangler.
Made in China.
Also a pair of...ahem...Gentlemen's Jeans. Denim with double pleats, no cuffs, no orange contrast stitching, Wranglers, in an...ahem..."portly" (42 W/32/L) size.
Made in china.
XXL Gray sweat pants & zipper hooded sweatshirt (50% cotton/50% polyester).
Made in China.
I paid $10 or less for each item.
One pair of black fleece clogs/slippers, $4.00.
Made in...HONDURAS!

We don't "make" anything anymore.
You want fries with that?
:-(

1. Try here for American-made clothing.
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 07:18 PM by GOPisEvil
www.americanapparel.net (mainly t-shirts though)

Or, for non-sweatshop-made foreign clothing and USA-union-made clothing, www.nosweatapparel.com
