It is possible to buy a Made in the USA 100% all cotton shirt, comparable in quality to, say, an imported LL Bean shirt that costs $40 to $50, but it will cost $100 or more. I’ve tried. I invite you to do the same.

It may come as a surprise to some of the tariff pimps on FR, but I buy USA made products when it’s reasonable to do so. But a 100% premium is not reasonable to me. Maybe it is to you.

Actually, your purchasing exercise could also be indicative of a now-lost US textile manufacturing environment (making US-made clothing not competitive with other US-made clothing), our lack of taxing foreign goods, or of your own inability to more widely scour the US for less expensive, high-quality, US textiles.

Your pulling figures out of your a$$. A prodigious a$$ at that.
