Not sure but most of these brands are from the same company (China), you just pay more at J.C.Pennys. Might wrong here but really - there are no American made items left to be bought.
You’re mistaken about that. Hard to find in most big box retailers, yes. Nonexistent? No.
Walmart does not carry Bisou Bisou, Liz Claiborne, Ming by Mango, Levi's nor VANS... which is what i buy at JCP... the clothing at JCP has more detailed stitching... better fit... the stuff at Wal-mart has very little shape to it... a lot of it looks like stuff you might find in a home econ. class, first project... the only good brand of clothing i will admit to at Wal-Mart is Dickies... their OP stuff isn't as good as it once was back in the 80s...
don't get me wrong... i do shop at Wal-Mart... for other stuff...
