Thinking about this, a big factor in the current emphasis on American style probably has a lot to do with it being an American election year. And an American election year that the world is obsessed with--i.e. Obama. Further, the workwear emphasis--look at who the candidates are emphatically trying to woo--the working class American. Last night's DNC coverage for example--the video ode to Biden's working class roots--could have been shot by the editors of Details as a supplement to their current issue. I can only imagine what next week's convention will bring on this theme. The general topic may be a little much for this site, but could be interesting for your new gig over at Men's Vogue. The influence of politics on fashion--not going to be as relevant as right now for a very long time. And your personal style and love for Made in America make you the perfect candidate to cover it.

Oh how I loathe Details. Isn’t the point of American style that you don’t need a guide on how to “pull it off.” Oh how I loathe Details.

Seems like it's everywhere, and I for one am very thankful. Am I correct here, or has it always been the case?

Japanese mags have been drooling over some awesome collaborations (Brooks Brothers and Comme Des Garcons for one) that are furthering the reinvention of some of these old names. Hopefully Americans will get just as giddy.
