Perhaps they should get some models that don't look like they are getting mug shots. LOL

I'm sure raising minimum wage will fix that.

Guess you don't recall when American Apparel admitted that 1/3 of their workers were illegal aliens?

No but a VAT/import tax might.

It's a clothing store. America was never known for clothing. We buy clothes made in Italy and London.

If the quality and price are pretty much the same, I will buy American, but most of the time it's not the case.
My priority is quality with price.

American Apparel has ugly overpriced clothes.

Based on what it sells I get why they might go out of business.
It's tough to buy American because our own country taxes the hell out of our own goods and invites outside goods in with far less taxes and we have to overcome their $2 labor.


I guess until we even out things like Nafta and other trade deals we will have a problem.
