I work hard to buy American made also. We wear a lot of cotton down here, at least up until to a few years ago clothing made in Mexico or Central America had US grown cotton. It is a good thing to support your neighbors.
Funny all the people bargain hunting lately. They want to buy things below cost and brag about the deal they made instead of paying a fair price and seeing there their neighbors continue in business.
I have been in business for about 40 years it is a sad thing when good suppliers go out of business. Sometimes they lose customers because of foreign completion on price sometimes they just get old and die.
