Isn't that the point, that something is "AMERICAN MADE"? I guess as long as an American puts the box on the shelf and the store is in America, that is American made for your purposes. So as long as people aren't actually physically buying their stuff in China it's all good.

I just checked out billys(?) American made clothing. His prices give me an idea just how high we would have to set the tariffs to give American domestic produces a fair chance at competing with Chinese slave shops.

You lefties can't find much to whine about,....so you try to invent one using deflection.

Why can't the loonie left be supportive of someone trying to create American jobs?

Hypocrisy comes to mind....
Hey Sol, let me let you in on a secret......did you know cotton is still grown here?
And its cheaper to buy denim made from Indian cotton and manufacted in India?
Why are you so agaunst American cotton farmers and American textile manufacurers?
Where things comes from matters, to all of us.
Next time I reply to you, I'll make sure to use my satirical font, because you do not recognize it when you read it.
BTW, I am sure you will look just FABULOUS in your Beck jeans.
Just make sure you leave the fanny pack at home.

130$ for a pair of jeans that are supposed to be "all American" is UNAmerican, especially these days...

No I didn't watch the video so if there is more to it then "ok"..

Really?
I'm sorry but I don't think that is a fair defense anymore. The women I've been seeing lately... (not body features clothing)
