Mr. Fishley,

You're definitely in the wrong thread, I buy local and pay more because it's the right thing to do. Everything I buy new gets checked out via google to see if there's a USA option, if not then it gets checked for options from countries that I find more palatable buy from like the UK and Canada, then Europe. I just bought new tires for my truck a few months ago and paid another $250 over the price of Mexican made rubber because that's what you should do.

Oh yeah, and the price of these sweaters was like a gift. The only thing similar to them that's made in the US isn't nearly the quality and is pushing $500. After that you move to Japan with limited sizing and they're about $350, then it's junk made in China.

If you don't like this that's fine. But let's not get too uppity about it with a bunch of guys who value quality and prefer to do business with places that have fair wages, safe labor practices, and good environmental track records.
