Buying American.
Anyone got any favorite internet based companies out there?

I'm a big fan of Lucky Jeans, when I can find them on sale. I've had mixed results buying them online, though. And, unfortunately, not all products are made in the USA.

I also just ordered some Okabashi sandals. Free shipping on orders over $35. Yay!

What I've really been looking for is a pair of women's driving moccasins and I haven't been able to find any...for months. I like Minnetonka, but I'm don't want to buy them because I'm pretty sure they're imported.


So what sites do you all like?

1. I have been under the impression they were made in USA.

My favorite hat is a Minnetonka fedora..which reminds me I have been meaning to send it back for steam and blocking.
I have had it for oh 10 12 years, it is one of the weather proof felt ones, great for foul weather wear.

2. I don't think so. Urban Outfitters sells them and lists them as "imported".
That's the only website I can find that states their origin. Which really pisses me off, btw, whatever happened to having to state where the products are coming from?

I read on Amazon (can't find that link) that they might be made in the Dominican Republic.
