Made in the USA

[tulenutn2o]

LL Bean shipped off about 6-7 years ago, sad, I think Land's End followed them just after.

Anyways, In my almost 1300 posts You find references to my rants about not being able to find US made goods anymore especially from TSC!

Here's some items I have recently bought US made:

Corelle dishes

Allen Edmunds dress shoes

Northerner Rubber boots (tingley went to china)

Kamik kids boots (both USA and Canada)



Baffin boots for me (Canada) I dont hesitate to settle for Canadian because they buy a lot of US stuff.

Juno recessed lighting from Lowes

Goodyear Integrity tires (I believe goodyear is still US owned. Anybody know any better?

Titan R-4s (1.5 years ago) Titan is very proud of thier US mfg)

Oil drain container from Autozone cant recall the name.

Whirlpool Gold gas range, dishwasher, microwave and fridge for the remodeled house.

Items I am considering:

Johnson woolen mills clothing for the kids

A cadillac SRX for the wife (used). The new SRX are a different Vehicle (mistake) and now made in mexico (bigger mistake).

Thanks guys for not getting hostile and getting the thread closed.

In the case of manufactured durable goods like appliances you will find most components manufactured elsewhere and the end product assembled here. A product is only as good as it's weakest link. I also have been dismayed to find some carhart apparrel coming from outside the country also.

That has been going on for a long time.

I for the most part quit buying that crap a long time ago.

Construction Attachments are made here in North Carolina, and they make mostly Skid Steer Attachments. Very high quality and meant to be used everyday. It's my brothers company, and I am working hard to start manufacturing my own line of tractor implements that will be made here in the USA as well.:thumbsup:

As a Canadian I try hard to buy Canadian or American made products when I can Getting very hard to do. Bought my wife a cast iron frying pan for Xmas one year. The store had two side by side, one was 10 dollars cheaper. Yup, you guessed it, Made in China for the cheaper one. The other one was an american made. The american made had a nicer finish and better quality iron. I used to work in a foundry. The best thing we can do is to buy as little of overseas products as possible to keep yours and mine neighbors working. Also remember that both of our countries are based upon Christian beliefs and not some other god! God Bless our countries!

A few years back I needed a new rad for my 1990 Ford. Chinese model cost $210.00. I wanted one made in US or Canada for $475.00 but couldn't get the parts store to order one for me unless I paid in advance with no guarantee of a delivery date, likely 6 weeks, and no refund. Apparently, nobody else wants to pay the price, so I can't get one either. Thankfully the cheap one hasn't been any sort of a problem
