Ok this is a rant but can someone please tell me what "Made in USA, assembled in Mexico" means?


Wife just thinks I'm just bieng stubborn but all I wanted was some new t shirts and boxers that god forbid were made domestically.
I'm not trying to wave a big flag and say every single product I buy will be US made, simply impossible. Just wanted some damn shorts.

Out of 6 stores we visted the closet thing I could find was "Made in USA, assembled in Mexico".
Last line in the smallest font humans could possibly read under a large 2" USA flag.

I even started looking at clothing in the big high end stores lik REI and Nordstoms who tout themselves "local" , "green" and use lots of buzzwords claiming thier corporation is earth fiendly, enviromentally responsible and all that BS.

Yep, not a single US made product in sight. Even asked the sales manager to point me toward the US made section.

"Uhhh, the what??" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> Yeah...Closest thing he could find was a $600 Arcteryx jacket from Canada.
