made in the USA - Fritz - 03-01-2022
generally, do you tend to look for/buy US made items?
IE: CostCo sells perfectly decent jeans for $14 made in Mexico or Indonesia or ...
I buy jeans from a Chicago company at a premium. I think they're better made, fit better, and thus far, more durable. They are made in Chicago, although I think they have now had to buy cloth from Mexico as the last decent denim maker has closed.
Plus the CCs tend to look like 30 day loaders.
All Clad makes, in the USA, generally accepted quality cookware at a premium. (Boy, do I miss Farberware Bronx).
Cars, clothes, shoes, cookware, furniture, tools, plumbing parts, building parts ......
Obviously, computers and most electronics are not made here.

Not since Sears sold off their brands.

We live in a global economy.
USA made products arent always the "best" of many things.

I try to look for USA stuff if the quality is good compared to the price.
Toyota Highlander SUV (Indiana).
Two Schott leather jackets (New Jersey).
Danner hiking boots (Oregon).
Bunch of LLBean stuff (Maine).
Tito's Vodka (Texas)
Plano tackle boxes (Illinois)
HON filing cabinet (Georgia)
Wilson football (Ohio)
Cambria Quartz countertops (Minnesota)
Andersen windows (Minnesota)
Bunch of wood items made from all over the USA from Etsy shops.
I'm sure there are a few others I'm forgetting.
Edit** Ohh... and Benjamin Moore Paint throughout the house

At any price, nothing Danner makes today compares to my 40 year old Danners.
