Your right. Tough as nails men should not be found wondering around in the men's fashion community.

tomcunYou should respect that made-in-the USA with USA-sourced parts costs money. I work in manufacturing. Guys like you are the reason everything is made in third world countries. It cost money to pay your workers US wages, and it costs money to source parts from those who pay US wages, not to mention taxes and regulations.
All of my clothing and shoes are made in the US, Europe, Canada or wealthy Asia (Japan, Korea, Taiwan). I do not buy "Made in China" because it supports an oppressive Communist regime that violates labor rights.
If you want to buy everything from oppressive Communist countries and watch your fellow Americans lose their jobs, you go do that, but do not criticize those companies whose bosses had the balls to charge more and keep their fellow countrymen employed. I am a proud manufacturing employee in Chicago who works hard to keep two factories here in the US.
You can buy belts made here in Chicago, and watch straps, and shoes. You cannot buy them for $30, but you can simply buy fewer, better items. You do not need more than two belts. You can get by with one or two nice watch straps or bracelets. You only really need one pair of jeans. Furthermore, these items last decades, so the total cost of ownership is actually quite low.
I agreed with you criticizing the lack of large sizes, but your attack on the company choosing to manufacture in the USA is disgusting. Unlike you, many Americans are proud and happy to pay more for American-made quality (and the satisfaction of knowing that our fellow citizens can keep their jobs). If you look around, you can buy products made by the US or its labor respecting allies (products made in Europe/Canada/Japan/Australia///// are the same as those made here).
$160 is more than a fair price for quality denim.
