When I see stuff like this I love to point it out to all the people who critcize me for spending "too much money" on my clothes, as if to suggest I'm a selfish person or a show off. Seems to me the only thing I'm showing off is my respect for skilled-trades and well-paid labour.

Why wouldn't they? Gap doesn't trade on the quality of its product, they push price and design. Besides, seeking out cheap labor doesn't automatically mean your goods are going to be produced in so-called sweatshops.
