the thing that i think is lame is that, upon reading this article, you might walk away with the belief that LL Bean Signature is made in the USA. they talk about the revival of US manufacturing, and it sort of insinuates that the bean stuff is made in the US.

It's a beautiful collage of all the reasons I dislike Americana workwear; there's not a single thing on there I'd wear much less pay for, unless you count the tiny thumbnail of a plain Jil sweater.

I think they purposely picked the ugliest workwear related things they could find. Yeah the only things I'd consider are the Jil sweater and the fisherman sweater.

So in other words, anything workwear related.

no, not necessarily. Look at Berlin Report for instance. He's done a number of really good fits using EG/etc.

It's the Wall Street Journal. did you really expect them to report on work wear 3 years ago when it was fresh and new?
