Hey, not a bad idea, but serious question, who would you recommend that makes a stylish, decently constructed shirt (other than bespoke) in America? I am looking at some of my labels and I see China, Italy, Thailand, India, Tunisia, etc. A small comfort I got from my purchase was that it was from an American employee who got a commission, the local tax base got a cut, I ate lunch in the area, etc. so there was some dispersion. So, some money went into the local revenue stream.


People pouring money into the economy will help, but I agree it would be nice to keep it local. Hit me up with some ideas. Thanks!

If Jantzen is really tracking 9 days, I may have to try them out!

I agree - nice gingham.

The gingham is much nicer than I expected. I wish he had a few more gingham colors.

What would you say is the more typical turnaround time with Jantzen (apologize for asking as I know this has been discussed in mind-numbing detail elsewhere - I just don't feel like paging through 10,000 posts)? Thanks
