100% of everything on my body right now and ~80% of everything in my wardrobe is made of the highest quality materials I can afford by US or EU labor, often by a unionized workforce.

Shoes: New Balance 990v4 (USA). Socks: Darn Tough (USA). Jeans: Texas Jeans (USA). Undershirt: Sloane (USA). Underpants: Duckworth (USA). Shirt: Gitman (USA).

The only non-US things I own tend to be shoes (Italy, Spain) and jackets (UK). Or gifts.

YES it does cost more. But here's the thing: I have fewer, nicer, things that last longer and I almost certainly spend way less annually than someone buying $7 shirts from Shein or Walmart clothes.

So, buying trash made of the worst possible materials by slave labor is a choice unless you are the poorest of the poor in which case you, and only you, get a pass.
