Chrstmas gifts,all fishing related, but a little sad.
5 fishing shirts,1 light jacket,1 rain coat,1 fly box.
Everything I got was made in---- Cambodia,India,Vietnam, El Salvader,Dominican Republic,China. The only USA.gift was a unique fly box from Wyoming. Here in the south we have given away for the most part our textile industry in the name of free trade. I WONDER WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED IN RETURN.

Ed,
Affordable goods. With the high cost of living in the US, those same products made in America would be a lot more expensive. Instead of receiving all those gifts you got, you might have only received less. Additionally, there is no guarantee of better quality just because they are American made.
