Give 'em the boot

It is very possible to find good quality boot socks made in the USA. There are several brands made in Vermont, such as Darn Tough and Cabot & Sons.
I often find socks produced in the states at TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Dunham Sports, just to name a few. So look around, and give imported socks the boot!

Belting it out

My husband recently had need to buy a new belt as his cheap, in-the-process-of-losing-weight belt had broken.
He was surprised to find a made in USA belt while shopping at Target, and sent me a quick snapshot of the label before he bought it.

Sock it to me

Just a quick note to say that I found a few offerings of both men's and women's socks made in USA at Dunham's Sports store. I got some women's bamboo socks in a couple of colors and some men's in white cotton.
I used to be able to find a great selection of socks at TJ Maxx, but have been striking out there lately. Heck, even about four years ago I could find them at Target and Kmart.
Speaking of made in USA shopping, I also saw quite a few women's tops at Bergner's last night. My only issue with them was that they were the baggy 1980s styles, but it's great to see a larger selection of made in USA stuff on hand.

Shorts weather

With shorts weather on the way, I knew I could use a new pair. The majority of my shorts predate my relationship with my husband, so we're talking 10+ years here.
I found the Kevin's Catalog web site in my collection of links, which had some women's safari-style shorts made in the USA and ordered a pair. They arrived within a week and were quite attractive.
Kevin's Catalog site search actually works like I wish other sites did: you type in USA in the search box, and whammo, you get pages of relevant results. Many sites will only return items with USA in the product name, which many times are made in China.
Right now Kevin's Catalog has made in USA leather goods, apparel, furniture and accessories.

A stylin' lid

My husband likes to wear some sort of straw hat while boating to keep the heat off his bald head.
For Christmas 2009, I was on the hunt for a nice made in USA hat for him. In my searches, I ran across MyCubanStore.
I picked out a great looking coconut fedora with a jaunty ribbon featuring several colors. It's a very nice looking, well made hat.

Etsy

If you like to buy items made in the US, Etsy is a great resource.
I have purchased several items from Esty including two purses, a wallet, a dog collar, a shirt and a wooden spoon, all made by artists and craftsmen from the United States.
The sellers are not limited to the United States. I also bought a fun iPod case made by a lady in the Netherlands.
You can find tons more things on Etsy as well, including jewelry and furniture.
Want to buy things locally? Etsy is great for this. You can narrow your search to items near where you live by using the Shop Local link, and you may even be able to pick your items up rather than paying for shipping.
Concerned about wastefulness? You can even find vintage and upcycled items on Etsy.

Those pesky unmentionables

The year we celebrated Christmas with only gifts made in the US, I ordered my husband some Wickers brand underwear, which we had not been familiar with before. They were a huge hit!
Wickers uses a silky moisture-wicking fabric and they make underwear, t-shirts, thermal underwear and more for men, women and children.
I've bought them from both Sierra Trading Post and Wickers web site, t-shirts and underwear both, and we've never been disappointed. If you sign up with Wickers email list, you can receive notices about sales.
