Found this Week – Made in the USA – Week 16

Found some Great things this week. I was gearing up for the year outside, I needed some supplies.

Hit a couple stores and this is what was found.

  • Suncast Hose Reel – View Suncast on Amazon – I bought a SHA150, sub $30, It’s fair quality but I hardly use the hose through out the year so it will hold up fine.  If you use your hose much, Pickup one of their heavier duty models. They are built much stronger and will run you between $50-100.
  • Flexon Hose -View Flexon on Amazon – Nice hose, My current hoses were just too weather damaged. Picked this up at Big Lots for a steal, $15 bucks for 50 ft. The connector is great, easy to attach to the spigot.
  • Anchor Hocking Co – Glassware – $5 bucks for a pitcher, another Big Lots score. I’m getting things together to brew beer. This may come in handy when I experiment with keging my beer.  Visit Anchor Hocking on Amazon

My Dad is in the market for some new summer work boots. While we were out we hit a local “Chain”, they have two stores. Chuck’s boots, has an awe inspiring selection of boots(seriously we were there for at least an hour and didn’t make it through Everything). Everything made in the USA is marked with a US flag.

Post a comment if you have used any of these Products. We would all love to hear your experience.

Pointer brand Jeans

I have it on good authority that Pointer jeans make a high quality product. Not just one, but Two people have mentioned them to me with high praise. They have a great selection, and everything is Made in Tennessee.

American Apparel T-shirts Everything

homepage_02

Made in California.

After doing a little more research (outside of my closet) on American Apparel, I was shocked to find out…. They make everything in the USA. Not just T-shirts.

The only thing I own from American apparel is some t-shirts.  I’ve had them for years and show very little wear.

They have a very thorough Recycling regime also.

An excellent article by Kevin Meyer on American Apparel’s Production facility.  Also you may click here to view American Apparel on Amazon.

Texas Jeans

texasjeans I own 5 pair of the Carpenter Jeans.
They have a great fit, Very thick jean material, and after over a year, show no signs of wear (I wear and wash them weekly).  Couldn’t be happier.
I had been looking for Jeans at stores and online for a long time. Finally last year I ran across Texas Jean Co.  They had exactly what I was looking for.  I placed an order on their Store site for 5 pairs of jeans.
I was a little worried at first, not being able to try on before hand. How would they fit? What was the quality?  I must say I was Blown away.  These are some of the best fitting jeans (I got the carpenter style) I’ve ever had and the stitching and material are top notch.
One issue on one pair, out of the 5, didn’t have belt loops.  Ha, The good part is They fit so perfect I’ll never need a belt, and didn’t notice they were missing for a while.  I did not contact them about this because it was not an issue for me.

About:

Texas Jeans was founded long ago with one idea in mind. Keep it American. Owner and President Wallace Thompson wanted to have a jean that was top quality, rugged, and great fitting. But he also wanted to keep the price so everyone could take advantage of this idea. Many other big name brand jean companies moved their production overseas to keep their costs down, yet for some reason the price of the jean went up! Mr. Thompson vowed his factory would never go overseas, nor would he compromise quality for cash. He would bring a great fitting, high quality, reasonably priced jean to the masses. 100% made in the USA Texas Brand Jeans became not only a jean, but a idea. American workers making an American product of top quality priced right.
