I know it's been posted here before, I just thought it might be time for a reminder, what with the holiday shopping season fast approaching.

1. I actually found some cotton underwear (hey, it's hot in Texas!)

that was made in the USA.

The brand is Dixie Belle.

2. Jeeps

[hiphopnation]

3. lol

at first i thought it was an exclamation -- as in Jeeprs Creepers" or something to that affect.

But I just realized you're saying that "Jeeps are still made in USA." Is that right?

:rofl:

[LSK]

5. yes, I know they still make them in Illinois and Toledo

The Jeep Patriot is built in Belvidere, IL and I think the Liberty is made in Toledo (where the Cherokee was made).

6. Ford Escapes, including Ford Escape HYBRIDS

made by United Autoworkers in Kansas City.

[hiphopnation]

8. no shit?!

god, we're buying a hybrid next and are in the market. subaru has yet to come out with one and i was looking into Fords.

9. Better Mileage than the Toyota SUV Hybrids

AFAIK, the Ford Escape Hybrid still has the best mileage of any SUV on the market here.

The mileage figure is not inflated either. We actually get 29 mpg or better on the highway with the 4WD.

19. US Sales of Hybrids Up 30% in October

7. Calfee Bicycles

Made in La Selva Beach, California

(They make regular bicycles too, not just recumbents.
Most are carbon fiber. They also make frames out of bamboo!)

10. Yes a timely reminder, thank you :-)

The manufacturing industries are being hit so hard, and Chrysler's holding company just dropped a bombshell that they're going to be slashing and burning a ton of jobs. It's so important that we try to support whoever is left anymore.

:kick: k and r

12. yes indeed

you can still find the Made in the USA tag, it's just a little harder, but they need our support.

11. KTM dirtbikes I believe.

[Turbineguy]

13. Some pricey

audio equipment.

[hiphopnation]

14. that's the rub

it's a little more expensive, that's the whole reason Americans are loosing jobs in the first place.

but if you can afford it, i think it's worth it to support american workers.

17. Elemental Designs makes their home/car audio stuff here

And they're very affordable, high quality, and high performing products! I have an ED system setup in my car and the truck, havent heard anything that sounds better.

27. thanks for the link

good to know :thumbsup:

29. The products they've come out with lately really blows my mind

They make a home theater powered subwoofer, that uses two 18" subs, getting a total of 1300 watts, thats 650 watts per sub. The whole thing weighs 435lbs! They reinforce the boxes alot mostly due to all air passages their is which is for sound quality purposes. The prices is pretty steep at 2 grand, but I'm sure its a bargain compared to other name brands that makes (do they?) a similar setup. Its honestly overkill for an average living room. If I was to get one of their HT subs, it would probably be this one http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=2_41&products_id=618

31. but really good stuff. Sunfire and Outlaw are incredible, but you have to be willing to pay for it

I found American pencils, folders, etc., at various Back-to-School sales, but you MOST CERTAINLY have to pay attention to notice when the opportunity presents itself. Every market is important for buy "American." I try to buy American whenever I absolutely can. After that comes every country but China. I love shopping at Aldo shoes b/c you can actually buy Italian-made shoes at a reasonable price. However, I haven't been there in months and I'm afraid they've started importing Chinese-made shoes, just like almost every other well-known shoe manufacturer. Will I still feel happy shopping at Aldo? Guess we'll see.

Final note - watch what you eat if you're a big fish person. Much of the frozen fish you find in the local grocery store comes from China. Watch out for the poisons!

32. i just bought my first pair of Clarks that were made in china

before then every pair i bought was made in Spain :-(

time to find some new shoes

[kysrsoze]

33. IT'S getting really difficult to find non-Chinese shoes...

even my New Balance shoes. Believe it or not, I figured out that certain sizes of New Balance shoes are American and the rest are Chinese-made. I'm sorry, but NOTHING is worth Chinese dumping and toxic materials, especially from a long-term perspective.

[hiphopnation]

34. agreed

my wife is adept at sewing and shit

i hope she learns to make shoes soon! fuck this chinese crap! i got nada against the chinese, but i love my country and will do anything and everything to employ the American worker and KEEP LABOR HERE!!

:patriot:

15. I Found Hanes Socks

that were Made in the USA, as well as brake pads for the car that were made by Bendix. That's about it lately.

[IronLionZion]

16. Keep in mind that things made in US territories can still say made in usa

even if they are made by Chinese laborers in the Northern Mariana Islands who are abused and paid shit.

18. K&R. (nt)

20. The Anchorware Hocking bowls I got for my new apartment

26. I drive for a company that still makes car bumpers, but a lot of the

cheap labor at the bumper factories are Latino. Many of them can not speak English.
