Made in America Jeans @ Tumbleweed

So Saturday was an amazing fall day here in Portland. Cody and I went for a stroll down Alberta when I decided to stop into Tumbleweed tumbleweedboutique.com/shop.html. I was really in the market for a coat when I came across some really cute jeans. My first thought is how great are these, and then I checked the tag. To my surprise, they were made in our fine country!! jamesjeans.us & redenginejeans.com/company.htm

Why does that matter you say? Well, most of clothes (in short) are produced in foreign countries. Many of these use children to sew these clothes with little or no pay. I know most of us know this but what you may not know is that, just because a label says made in ITALY , for example, doesn't mean its made there either. A lot of well known luxury brands send their products off to factories in developing countries and then tag their clothes with their countries name on it. Scandal!! So, I want to promote companies keeping jobs in America, using good materials and keeping our resources in house. By shopping American, locally, organically, etc.. we can boost our economy and help our neighbors prosper. We will also show the world that we don't stand for child labor or cheap goods. Yes, there is politics involved...but who are we?!! Are we going to sit and do nothing??? Lets take a stand people!! Shop smart! Make your dollars count! Spend more on quality and less on quantity!
