Butt naked in the USA

Has anyone ever tried to buy clothes made in the USA? What a frustrating task. I am quite sure that in Macau, where J Crew has their clothes made, they are not paying well enough to charge me $78 for a sweater. Who gets this cash? Mr. Crew (Figuratively of course)? A few rich executives? The counter girl? No, she makes $10 an hour. How many sweaters can she push in an hour? Too many. How can we afford to feed our children when nothing is made here?

www.luckybrandjeans.com (some clothes made in the USA.)
www.llbean.com (some stuff made in US. and they adhere to higher labor standards Globally)
Hopefully I will have more to come.

GAP, Old Navy, J Crew? Forgetaboutit!!!
