American Apparel Store - old news but good news
Defying the trend, togs made in USA
American Apparel proves that doing it yourself, fair labor are good business as others go overseas

The most striking thing inside American Apparel T-shirt shops might not be the clothes. It might be the labels that say "Made in USA."

i just think we should make stuff like this here in the u.s. -- i think it's important for the diversity of the economy.

2. Which reminds me of the most ironic T-Shirt ever...
A shirt saying something like "I'm 100% American", "USA #1", shit like that.

Made in China.

:D

3. They are a little pricey.....
but it was cool because I thought of some Mom sewing my hooded sweatshirt. Heading home at the end of the day with a fair wage.
