Made in Egypt, sold in the USA. Doesn’t mention if any mummies were unwrapped to get the “sateen” cloth.
Northern Mariana Islands? The tag says USA but it turns out we have a working contract with the people to make clothing for us.
I could only find a leather jacket made in the USA and my Talbots clothing is still made in the states. Just for the heck of it in my closet I found the rest to be from: Peru, Turkey, Macau, China, Indosnesia, India, Jordan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Bagladesh, and Thailand. Some of the poorest places on the planet are making our clothes for pennies a day. It’s sad to think of how hard people have to slave for us. So we are basically exploiting the worlds poor.
It really makes you realize how little of our clothing is made here. My better stuff is mostly from India and Sri Lanka and Peru.
Last month while in the store, I started looking at the country of origin of shirts, and found a new one, so I had to buy the shirt just to have something different:
Lesotho !
I thought I recalled the US territory of Guam being part of the Marianas, so I looked it up and see that the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is under US jurisdiction. So “Made in the USA” is technically correct.

Made in USA by The Cotton Exchange, bought at the University of Wyoming bookstore.
No indication of origin. I will assume it has always existed. Bought in MN.
No, shirts are too complex to have arisen spontaneously. Therefore, by the Intelligent Dress theory, we must assume that in fact an invisible clothing factory arose spontaneously in order to make the shirt. You wouldn’t expect such a stealth factory to use tags.
Made in Cambodia, bought in Tallahassee.
Nice! Thank you for summarizing, I was gonna do that.
Meanwhile, mark one up for Guatemala…and John Galt, if I saw a shirt made in Lesotho I’d probably buy it too, regardless of what it looked like!
purchased in Canada at Mountain Equipment Co-op. Made in India.
The shirt I’m wearing now doesn’t have a tag (bought it second-hand) but my best guess, based on lots of experience reading labels and knowing fabrics/styles, is that it was made in India.
I ran and put on my mudcloth shirt so I could be the only person to say “Made in Mali”.
The bathrobe I’m wearing was made in China, purchased in New Jersey.
Made in New Zealand (out of sheep!).
Purchased on the internets.
You live in Finland. I’m sorry.
Good point. They’re only the 2nd-happiest country. It must be miserable coming up short of first.
