I like their stuff, but they charge so much. Who can afford it? I tried getting some shorts there, once. It was $55 for something I couldve gotten elsewhere for a fraction of the price. That's what "Made in the USA" costs - even coming from the sweatshops full of illegals in L.A. $55 isn't out of line at all - considering the cost of government the USA imposes on domestic manufacturers, it's actually pretty cheap.

I agree. But I’m not rich enough to buy things made here. That’s why it seems outrageously priced to me. But, economically, it makes more sense for AA stuff to be overpriced compared to products made by companies like Nike.

I deal with a good USA made tee company in VA called Jensen Apparel, I've sold boatloads of their shirts and my customers are always happy with product & price.
I am a wholesaler, but they do have a retail web site. IMO their prices are very good. Truly not much more than imported.
Good people, check them out.
