I deal with many overseas companies. Don't talk about shortcuts and poor quality until you've dealt with other places. Plus, the quality of US products has increased drastically over the past few years. Further, you don't know that these weren't outsourced to a foreign company to have them cut and sewn, then sold here.

Sorry to highjack the thread - this just didn't sit well with me since I work for a US company that takes quality quite seriously, as do our customers.

If this is your view, buy foreign and watch our economy continue to plummet.
Then, yours is not a typical American company. And why are you arguing, when you're making the same point that I am?

And I have enough dealings to know what I am talking about.

Perhaps you should finish reading what is written, comprehend what is said, and then you wouldn't have to go off.

The Smitty Shirts are pretty good actually, I cant complain. The pants on the other hand, seem to be a bit tight. Maybe they should write up a review on pants?

I'm not making the same point. I was defending US companies. Most US companies take business to Asia b/c the work/product is cheaper, not always because of improved quality.

You may be correct that in the past US products were less quality oriented than in other parts of the world. It is no longer that way. Thus "typical" US companies no longer fit that bill.

Further, the profit margins on the majority of products is not nearly as high as people think. Retail/list price is rarely paid by anyone.

I did.
I did.
That's why I had to.

If you left something unsaid that should have been implied, it got lost after the US bashing. Maybe you should have said it.

However, this has nothing to do with umpiring, so let's just agree to disagree and go on.
