A few years back, I watched PCN Tours do a show on the Woolrich factory. Very interesting episode, so I thought I'd buy a new Woolrich coat. Went on their website and every item was imported. What a letdown. PCN show was a few years old.

A number of years back, travelled to Colorado Springs. Since I had served in the Air Force, I was excited to visit the Academy, until at the end of the tour, we hit the gift shop. Couldn’t find anything with the “made in the USA tag. Went home empty handed.

still, you do possess an impressive amount of baseless arrogance, no doubt about it

Well, dang, Massa Stuff, now I knows what I needs to be workin' on.

Yo fren, buckwheat.

Still some high quality men's shoes made in the US. Allen Edmonds, Alden, and Frye Boots come to mind.

A lot of Allen Edmonds process happens in the Dominican Republic. Very few shoes are made start to finish at the Port Washington location and it shows in the workmanship

J C Penney will be the next to go belly up. There is too much competition from Target and Kohls in their market with even Wallmart and Costco taking a slice. Bricks and mortar stores in malls are a thing if the past. They are stuck with old real estate in dead markets. If you aren’t successful selling on the net now you get left behind. Their market capitalization is shrinking and it’s an old tired brand. I remember when JC Penney and Sears were known for good prices and decent quality. Times have changed.

So have perceptions of good prices and decent quality.
