Since then I have become aware that pretty much all clothing is made in these type conditions. Every cataloge that is sent in the mail contained 99% imported clothing. I am a farmer and need durable work clothes. I turned to the web and found one manufacturer in Tenn, Pointer Brand. Carhart claims to be American made but the majority is not made here. It breaks my heart that people are not aware or just dont care. We must stop sacrificing everything for cheap foreign goods. I suppose I could spin my own clothes like Ghandi.

I know...I should purchase it elsewhere...but my local favorite bookstore didn't have it (and that was in SANTA CRUZ...they should have it!)

Better yet, when you only bought them on sale a year AFTER they were in fashion. :) Just kiddng, Congrats! Slow fashion…I thought that was just when it took forever to pick out

I was complaining to a friend the other day that I'm ready for summer, because I'm tired of wearing so many clothes! Of course, come summer, I'll be looking forward to cuddling up during cool weather again. This IS why I choose to live in a four-season climate... [g] Today is nearly 60F - I'm going to go play in the yard, measure garden spaces, and lounge in my hammock! Alexa in IL oh, that is so me!

Today is nearly 60F – I’m going to go play in the yard, measure garden spaces, and lounge in my hammock!
