More musing on Pendleton. That blue label we know so well then 'Made In China'. A very clever Chinese woman of my former acquaintance told me they ought to be given a chance, just as a South African friend advised me never to buy their fruit. I don't blame the Chinese. I blame the American shareholders. Leaders of the Free World? We've all been neck deep in shit since Bass moved out of Maine. Not that Clarks' have been much better. Their staff do not like answering questions about what they're selling.
Having said all this, I never inspected working conditions in any part of the USA...
Haspel - again, Made In China.
