[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a dumb question. Some manufacturing should be here. Skilled manufacturing should be reshored. We don't need to be making t-shirts and widgets.

That's not what they are talking about though. [/quote]

I disagree about t-shirts.  Local manufacturing of clothing is very nice.  Everyone in India and China wear custom fit clothes.  When I was in Beijing, I bought a custom fit traditional outfit.  We negotiated with the seller we told them we had to catch a train in three hours, they said they would to it.  We came back in two hours, and they were snipping the last few threads off.  The manufacturing facility was behind the store.  I also bought several sets of custom fit business/casual in China.  You go to a big warehouse type building.  Pick the cloth you want, take to get measured, come back in two weeks custom fit clothing reasonably priced.

Compare that to trying to order custom fit clothing online.  Getting measured putting in the numbers, then you find out that the manufacturer has a different interpretation of the numbers.

I would get custom T-shirts if I could, and not just stylized "custom" prints.[/quote]
