Screw it. I’m going to buy hand made leather clothes from some cowboy company in Texas.

Mountain Hardwear®
Acquired in 2003, the Mountain Hardwear brand, headquartered in Richmond, California, offers premium apparel, accessories and equipment primarily for the high performance needs of mountaineering enthusiasts and other outdoor athletes, as well as for consumers who are inspired by the outdoor lifestyle.

How appropriate! Both companies are counting on their Girls/Misses/Women lines to bolster their sales. It’s an example of who controls the spenders of a country can usually control the country. Before people of both sexes get upset at me ask yourself one question: If she’s wrong, why do the Feminists and their Allies give millions to companies selling to females of all ages? Or, men who think like women...aka homosexuals. Find a local company and keep them going especially if they are conservative!

They don’t want to threaten the cheap labor their exploiting. I’m hoping Trump can get this sanctuary garbage stopped. it’s so utterly illegal on so many levels.

Keep going, asshats, we can get by just fine without your products.

https://www.allseasonsuniforms.com/

Crafted on American soil by the blistered hands of hard working Americans. Your purchase directly affects and impacts the standard of living for the individuals involved in the manufacturing process. The sun baked farmer harvesting cotton. The oil stained machine operator at the mill. Straight to the production line, where sometimes each garment is hand sewn—just for you.

American made clothes aren’t found in your local retail stores. USA made clothing is an endangered industry that needs to be revived and repopulated in all retail settings. In an attempt to bring this industry back home, we at All Seasons have wrangled up the highest quality made in USA clothing manufacturers; all accessible with a click of a button.

USA made clothes don’t necessarily come with the price tag you’d expect. We offer a full line of USA made shirts, t-shirts, pants, shorts, coats, jackets, sweatshirts, coveralls, bib overalls, and even socks—all at an affordable price.

Another suggestion: I couldn’t find shorts that I liked in regular stores. Most didn’t have enough pockets or were made out of synthetic crap, so I started buying miltary BDU shorts. They’re great! Fully adjustable fit, tough as nails (ripstop cotton/poly material) have so many pockets I forget where I put stuff, and cost $25 for an American made product. Example:

As my Columbia stuff wears out, it will be replaced by other products from other companies. Last week I had a Nike ear wrap, it was cold. Refused to put it on.

One year in prison for CEOs for each illegal found working in their company. Sounds only fair.

These leftist-led companies sure know how to drive away customers, like me. Bye, Bye! “Gone in 60 Seconds and never returning”.
