In my working life, which has been some time ago, it was Carhart for outer wear, Redwing boots, and a lot of Dickey workwear. I still have some Dickey button down work shirts that I know are near 30 years old and still look fine.
None of these brands were cheap for the times and quality was great and were made here, I know that's not the case anymore. When I see a store that is filled with merchandise all branded Indonesia it conjures visions of sweatshops and child labor, which may or may not be reality.
I'm involved with the purchase of souvenir t-shirts, thousands of them, of good quality and the cost for these shirts rarely exceeds ten dollars per shirt including printing.
So when I see shirts being sold for four or five times that amount, well, somebody's getting ripped!
