That’s a pretty website; but the name Calico is being used as a brandname for their business, unlike traditional calico, which was an affordable (currently $3 to $12 per yard) broadcloth with traditional American patterns. Theirs are $29.99 and up per yard, and have “exotic” names and patterns depicting Asian scenes or Asian typical design. Some of their fabrics are $79.99 per yard. Thanks for the link, though.
We've become used to buying relatively inexpensive clothing, towels, etc. that are now mostly produced outside the US. The inflation-adjusted prices of such items have fallen considerably over the past 50 years, precisely because they are made with low-cost labor in unregulated factories overseas. It is still possible to buy a Made in the USA, all-cotton Sero shirt like I wore in the 1960s, but it would cost me about $90.00. I now prefer to buy a Columbia shirt of similar quality, made in Honduras, for about $50.00 and spend the difference on other things.
