Beyond Clothing out of Seattle is 100% US made, and it's custom-fit. A good option if you don't mind the wait. I’m sure some of you are active in the outdoors.

We need our money to stay in our own nation. We need to support local businesses, local crops and local services. This is not isolationism, it is common sense. We owe it to our children to turn around our manufacturing sector, Otherwise, they will be left to flipping burgers in an impoverished America. There are tons more information about this and other Buy American topics and discussions at my favorite blog site www.AmericanBoom.com/blog, give it a look!

They fit me like a glove - The denim is a joy to wear. I'm one of your older readers so the denim felt just like I used to wear in the 70's . Good old fashioned USA customer service and quality can be had, but I had to order from Europe to get it.

As a result I've acquired Rag & Bone, Engineered Garments, Endovanera and other fine clothing that not only is made here but has great styling and craftsmanship. I'd like to encourage online retailers to start posting where the garment is made. For instance today I'm returning a shirt that I was led to believe by the manufacturer -and online retailers-was made in this country and yet when I received it I there was a "made in China" tag below the designer's label.

In fact, they filled a market niche that was bigger than anyone previously realized. The reality is that most clothes are flipped by a season or two's end. Shouldn't we not have to pay exorbitant prices for those items? Or when it comes to things like basics--your solid colored shirts, underwear, etc. I should be able to go to a store like Uniqlo and get them on the cheap. And I do. And I will never look back.
