3. Thanks for the list!

Although I'm not so sure Oshkosh B'Gosh should be included here - I think a lot of their production is done overseas now. The factory in my hometown closed years ago and moved to Mexico. I think the baby line of clothing is made in Bangladesh. Maybe some of their stuff is still produced in the US - but always good to check the tag.
