not sure if this is appropriate or if the pic is disturbing, i'd gladly remove it .
anyway, an ex-schoolmate of mine passed away on the 20th Oct in the afternoon. its very sudden and saddening for such a young man to pass away so sudden. He is only 20 and still got a bright future ahead.
so, he was having lunch with his friends in myanmar (burma) and suddenly collapsed and was pronounced dead on the ambulance while rushing to the hospital. autopsy or whatever its called findings is heart failure. Goodbye my friend. I know you have gone to a better place. may the Lord be with you.

I do not want to open a shit storm here. But I had a discussion about this when I was in NYC. "Made in USA" can be great but equally it can mean "made by underpaid Mexicans (substitute a few other nationalities here if you so wish) in USA". I promise you, if I send denim to a sweat shop in LA, I can get jeans made for USD12 per pair. That is simply not right - I know how much time and how many processes gord into making even a shit pair of jeans…

See "American Apparel" as an example
In all honesty, the whole "made in….." thing is a purchasing placebo. What you should be looking for is quality materials and quality construction, regardless of what nationality put the item together. Some of the denim brands from China at the moment look very good (Red Cloud and Co etc..), equally I have had a pair Japanese made Fullcount jeans that were simply awful.
In this kind of niche wear, we pay for quality plain and simple, and after a while you get to know and appreciate that quality, and something of a lower standard simply does not cut it.
