Made in America jeans

[matt819]

I don't know where this belongs, and, no, I don't have a financial interest.

Made in USA jeans, 45.95 - www.gusset.com
Also, www.allamericanclothing.com

I've bought both, and quality is excellent.

Just thought some out there would want to know.

This does raise an interesting point, though. I don't know the politics of the owners of either of these companies, though I could guess. Would that make a difference? Should it?

1. To me, not that much.

Particularly if it is made in America. I'd try to support it.

If however, they become outspoken about their politics and make an issue of it, then I'd probably avoid them.
Otherwise, I am more of a live and let live type of guy. Really, only when they use their business and authority to raise a point on their politics would I have a problem with them.

2. Wish there were a good made in the USA women's jean

And fashionable for younger people (ie not something my mom would wear).

I like seeing these made in the USA websites, but they're either mostly men's clothes or very frumpy and matronly looking.

10. There is, but

their models appear to be very young and the last time I visited, the panty models were topless. I make no judgement one way or the other -- just letting you know as I provide the url: americanapparel.net

3. About the only American Jeans I can find are at Rural King.

Key Bib Overalls are made in Kansas and I picked up a new pair last weekend for $25.00.

4. Will check them out.

Looks like they're all over the midwest, not here in New England, though we do have Tractor Supply. In any case will check them out online.

5. Is it a union shop?

That would be a big question.

6. I checked out gussett.com,

but they do not seem to have any boot cut jeans for women. I do not like straight leg jeans. And I also priced the only boot cut jeans at allamerican.com. Unbelievably expensive at $69.95. I buy my Lees and Levis jeans at Kohl's for $49 or less.

7. Don't know about the jeans but the founder is a winger.

To help spread the American made message and the unique gusset design concept, Diamond Gusset has over the years entered into endorsement agreements with numerous country music stars and media personalities such as G. Gordon Liddy, Phil Valentine and Alex Jones. Currently, the company is working with the Army-Airforce Exchange Service (AAFES) highlighting the new Kevlar lined Defender Jean.

8. So, here are the questions

Good product. Good price. Made in America.

Non union.

Winger owner.

To buy, or not to buy. That is the question.

9. Use your best judgment. There are few pure products out there.
