[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the casual xenophobia about Chinese-made goods. Some of my very best pieces were made in China, and you can get truly amazing fully custom items from Chinese seamstresses. [/quote]

Yes, so very many widely available American brands are made by truly amazing fully custom items from Chinese seamstresses.

There’s no “casual xenophobia” about this. China provided dirt bag American businesses with the low-wage workers they wanted, same thing as in a dozen different countries. It’s not a knock on the workers that what they churn out is crap; it’s not like they can change out cheap fabric and no one’s going to miss their quota by carefully stitching seams the right way, especially when the people working in the sweatshops that make the fast fashion so that an American might commit the high crime of being off trend are not infrequently not free.

I don’t yet buy high quality clothes, at least not exclusively. When American businesses moved operations overseas to realize profits at the expense of the American worker, high quality clothes largely left American shores. Yeah, yeah, yeah you can find some, if you look. But I remember when even Target sold solid, American-made clothes that held up for ages. It didn’t used to be a hunt. [/quote]
