Mainecat Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Many of you right wing dolts when bat shit crazy when Obama didn't wear a flag pin yet Cheetolini has his suits made in "build a wall" Mexico July 1, 2011, 3:40 PM Made in America: All the Presidents' Suits Last Updated Jul 3, 2011 9:37 PM EDT Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much, but the leaders of both parties have one thing in common: the same American-made suit. The death of American manufacturing has been greatly exaggerated, and one of the success stories is HMX Group, the parent company of Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx Both suit makers have been manufacturing on these shores for more than a century, and outfitting presidents at least as far back as Dwight Eisenhower. Though all manufacturers, especially those in the textile industry, have felt the pressure of lower-cost overseas competition, manufacturing has been a bright spot in the tepid economic recovery. Economists, in fact, were surprised by a strong uptick in manufacturing in June. "These are iconic brands, that have built reputations of great quality and great style, all made in America," said Joseph Abboud, president and creative director for HMX Group, the retail conglomerate managing both brands. "We're so proud of that." In addition to Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama have worn suits made byRochester, N.Y.-based Hickey Freeman. Chicago-based Hart Schaffner Marx - which made the suit Obama wore for his inauguration - has outfitted former President George H.W. Bush and Vice President Joe Biden. Abboud acknowledges that his high-end brands (a Hickey Freeman suit runs from $1495 and $3000) face stiff competition from less-expensive foreign-made suits. But he believes customers recognize American-made quality. "We don't outright ask anybody to buy us because we're made in America," Abboud said. "But we do ask someone to buy from us because we have an extraordinary fit, great fabric, and relevant style. But the fact that they are one and the same is pretty special." Not that either brand has breezed through the economic storm. In 2009, their former parent company, HartMarx, declared bankruptcy. But under new ownership and new leadership, Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx are growing again, and hey, having the leaders of the free world advertising their goods doesn't hurt. Says Abboud: "We support our leaders and if they want to support us by wearing our American-made suits, that's wonderful." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/made-in-america-all-the-presidents-suits/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 5, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted January 5, 2017 wool production in the US is extremely down... In my state their use to be a large amount of sheep grazing and run on federal lands on leases. As those leases come up the govt over the past don't let those leases renew essential putting the sheep business in the US out of business essentially due to public pressure from outside of the state influences that decide wolves, grizzly bears and other species are more important then the business. When it comes to wool the US just doesn't grow it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new generation of growers (less than 30 family farmers) is committed to safeguarding the future of this fiber because of its unique properties and very limited stock. It’s this combination of quality and exclusivity that allows SaxXon to take its rightful place along side of Brooks Brothers most celebrated icons.

It's sad but that's the liberal elitist attitude. Obummer had 8 years to do exactly what Trump is trying to do right now and he's not even sworn in yet. Trump is making Obummer look like a bigger fool than ever, amazing that's even possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you realize how incredibly inept Obama was when Trump is already making the world move and he hasn't even sworn in yet! A hint tweet from him and people start moving accordingly. Leadership....pass it on. I can honestly say this now, I'm a bit surprised at just how quick and how well the Trumpster is putting this shit together. I hope he keeps it up.
