There's also a clothing store in the KC area that sells jeans that are 100% USA made. The workers who fabricate the jeans from start to finish are well paid with full benefits. A pair costs $200.
Walmart recently said they're moving back to the Made in the USA when possible. That will be a rough road.
The question is: Do you support workers in the USA, or do you take advantage of cheap Asian labor?

Neither. I, generally, am not a price only buyer. If I can get quality for a better price without too much hassle then that's what I'll do.
Some high end or designer products are still be made in China. For instance Dooney & Bourke purses are made in the US, Mexico, Italy as well as China. I still paid nearly $300 for mine on sale.
