This is a holiday weekend with no end of American flags waving reminds me to be patriotic. Seeing some of the posts in the closed boycot thread made me think of a great store I bought a can opener from a while back. My old swing a way canopener was wearing out so I wanted a replacement and come to find out that swing a way moved offshore It seems the employees were not in love with the idea of not making can openers any more so they purchased the tooling and re named the swing a way to EZ does it and they are might right here in the good ol USA. I of course purchased one and it was wonderful to use. I have broken or thrown away plenty of cheap can openers. It was really nice to have a good solid tool like the one I grew up with. Anyway a chef friend of mine was over BBQing so I told him about the new can opener, he said WTF are you talking about it is a can opener But then a can needed to be opened so I handed it and the can opener to him, he then understood what it was like to use a proper can opener and was really impressed with it.
The store I got if from is a store that prides itself on selling USA made products. I know there are old threads along the same line as this but are there other stores out there doing this? I have an American Giant sweatshirt (made in USA) and it is really thick and very well made. I think they source everything made in USA for the flannel shirts, from the wool on up.
