Inspired by my [post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12729829&postcount=11) in another thread. I thought it would be interesting to see where the Dopers’ upperwear is manufactured…so take a peek at the label of the shirt you’re wearing (try not to twist your neck too far!), and I think knowing where you bought it might be a useful point of info too. I bought my shirt in the US, and it was made in **India**. Not that unusual, I suppose. ---
