Now do you understand why buying USA MADE is important? Buying USA Made supports american jobs and our tax supported programs like police, fire departments and our schools.

1. I try my best to buy only USA made products

sometimes its hard to do as I can't find some things any longer but I try my best. To me its personal because it is my brothers and sisters who need those jobs as we're all brothers and sisters even if we don't know one another we're still kin when it comes right down to it.

2. Hopefully they have sturdy garden products.

4. Especially pitchforks. nt

3. YES! However, I was always against this world trade bs. Why were Americans so stupid as to believe

that by taking away our jobs, new jobs would magically appear? I'm no economist, and I knew it was bullshit from the first day I heard the lie.

5. I don't always trust the Made in America label

That's sometimes a scam too, you know. Made in America... by immigrant workers who have no rights and work for pennies in unsafe conditions. We need a more specific label.

6. you will appreciate this

this is a cap that a friend had on... look at the label inside... it would be a good start just to avoid made in china (nothing against china.. just the manufacturers that have exploited them)

8. The same manufacturers set up shop in Saipan (usa) using Chinese workers to work for peanuts

But they could use the Made in USA label.
I agree with the poster before, the label doesn't mean a whole lot.

Frankly, I'd rather support a fair trade company outside the US than a US company that didn't treat or pay the workers very well and didn't operate with sustainability in mind.

Edit: I'm not suggesting that is what is happening here in this case with this company advertised in the post, I'm just saying the label still leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

10. Sure did

7. Nonsense. To reduce unemployment in the U.S. and the world, we need more free trade agreements.

Free trade: economic prosperity and long-term peace.

13. Rob The DU Conservative (robcon) strikes again.

12. I wonder who made the clothes ol' Uncle Sam is wearing.

:shrug: The point being it is getting very hard to buy anything "made in the USA" any more. Is there a TV made in America, or even a Computer, or a Stereo, or especially any clothes of any sort?

15. Just bought one for my partner and me!

16. I can't believe some people don't trust this company (About the Cut and Sew Facilities )

http://www.allamericanclothing.com/cutnsew.html

The All American Clothing Co. brand of jeans is sewn at the Elk Brand Manufacturing facilities in Kentucky. The combination of Elk Brand Manufacturing Co. and its sister company W.E. Stephens Co carries a loyal tradition of being involved in the jeans business since 1924. Headquartered out of Nashville, W. E. Stephens/Elk Brand Mfg. owns the Elk Brand plant in Cadiz, Kentucky. W. E. Stephens is genuinely a proud American company from way back when it actually was one of the original sponsors of “The Grand Ole Opry”. Now that is genuinely American!

Elk Brand is a long term cut/sew facility located in small town America where it is nestled into the rolling bluegrass fields of Kentucky. The local workforce is very proud to hand craft each garment made for All American Clothing and supplied to USA consumers. Elk Brand acknowledges that jeans have always been a part of the American culture and they are striving to keep it that way. For the last 10 years Elk Brand has fought the economic battle that has eliminated over 81% of America’s cut & sew labor force. They stand up against the odds and continue the effort to keep USA jobs and USA made jeans alive. That is why All American Clothing continues to contract their labor and continue to support their efforts. Being known for their quality and there belief in USA Made products has helped to keep them in business where others have perished. We consider them among the best in our country. Elk Brand Manufacturing and their loyal employees come to work daily with a “Made in the USA attitude”.

All American Clothing Co. would like to thank Elk Brand for helping us to support USA jobs and our great country!
