Glad to see this. There may not be a store near me, but if enough people order then maybe they will expand.

Made in the USA but where did the denim come from? We wanted a casual look for an older swivel rocker in the Playroom so we were going to have slip covers made in denim. Small problem, could not find US made denim locally or on the net. Got a nice US made fabric but it was too heavy for slipcovers so we looked at having it re-upholstered - $350.00! Bought a made in the USA recliner rocker for $300.

I was browsing eye glass frames last week at Costco, and finally gave up and selected one that said "Handmade in China". At least it's handmade.
Looks like the "Kirkland" house brand is mostly or all made in China also.

Except for the coffee. That's made in Suffolk, Virginia.

True but at least it ain't Wallyworld. That's why we shop there.

I personally like, admire and respect the oldest civilization on this little blue ball rolling around in space. At least they have some of their priorities right in the oldest country. One family, one child isn't all that far out and as crazy as some of our loonier cousins here in Uhmerica like to make it out to be.

One other point, the complaint that it would take months to assemble such teams in this country when China does it in days, I'll take a bet that China does not have HR departments to get in the way.

I'll bet the EPA, the NLRB, the PTO, OSHA, and the Division of Insurance doesn't get it their way either.

I used to get mine at the outlet or the Bass Pro. Fair deals and a quality product.

Now when I was butchering I was getting $10 jeans from Wally World as we had the very first Super Wally World ever about 27 miles east of us.
