“Homegrown’s all right with me.”
First thing’s first: Yes, this shit is mostly expensive. But with good reason — everything is made in the United States.
That cost reflects the difference between factory workers who make ~$12 an hour and sweatshop employees who make dollars a day, and in unsafe, poorly regulated conditions for unethically long hours.
The less depressing reason to buy American-made clothes is simple: supporting American manufacturing jobs. Even a small purchase, buying an American made T-shirt, supports Americans workers.
An added bonus of buying U.S. made? If you have a problem with a product, you can usually find the company and actually get in touch with someone who can help you.
A classic white T-shirt, $42 for pack of three
Doesn't get much more American than a white T-shirt and jeans.
A sturdy, four-season OCBD*, $140
*That's "oxford cloth button down." The "button down" refers to the collar, not the front.
A wind- and water-resistant anorak that packs into its front pocket, $256
Toss it in your bag in case of rain.
