That's a great idea! I've been replacing all my foreign made jeans and overalls with USA made ones by Round House in Oklahoma. They do still make stuff here, you've just got to look for it.

I definitely would support that idea.

Great thought.

I just shared a couple of sources with a member of the B.O.D. If one googles American Made Caps, one can see there are abundant manufacturers.

In shirts a maker of premier quality USA shirts is King Louie. But there are lots of them also, many cheaper. The Southern was just held in a state that was at the top in textiles, until the greedy owners decided to make $0.50 more per item, closed the plants, and sent the work overseas. I'd like to change that a little at a time. That's why I like so much Destry's old stuff on the sale forum. All I need to see is Made in USA.

I'm a t-shirt kind of guy in the summer, and I'd like to see some American made "pocket" ts, heather gray is a universally popular color, with the Parker emblem screen printed on the Back, and the same smaller emblem on the pocket. Just a thought.
