jimoshel Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Received shirts and cap. A little disappointed to find they were made in China. Seems to be very nice merchandise. THanks. J :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespwsullivan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I work for a company in the advertising specialties industry. We brand sell everything from pens and pencils to inflatable kayaks. Probably the biggest issue I have with what we do has to do with the source of our merchandise...China. And I'm talking about very close to 100% of it. The story I make up is simple. Here ins the United states most of us want stuff available cheap and fast. China has accommodated those desires. When I look at the tools that were available from China 20 years ago and the ones available today I can see that, with guidance form US companies, the Chinese manufacturing juggernaut has figured out which products need to be made at a higher quality and adjusted their QC to match. it is possible to source t-shirts and caps from the US. They are more expensive and much harder to find. Just to be clear, I am unhappy about the situation but I can't say I was disappointed to find that the cC products were from China. I expected it.

86FUBAR Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ya know , one of my favorite hats is vietnam POW MIA hat that I got at my legion that I belong to and when I looked at the tag one day I noted that it said it was "made in Vietnam" . Now if that isnt a kick in the sack I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weak get eaten by the strong, the fat cat dies of cholesterol, icebergs melt and islands sink, and the tribes laugh at the idiots at the casinos… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
