I'm so naive....

I've been smugly prancing around in my Ibex, assuming it's made in the USA and keeping manufacturing jobs which we so desperately need here, not wasting petroleum shipping stuff overseas, etc etc.

Got a glimpse of a tag on one piece I was wearing last night: made in Turkey.

Ok, fine, I can deal with that. Maybe. (I don't like that piece much, so my heart wasn't broken)

But then I looked at the tag on the other piece I was wearing at the time: made in China. Grabbed the nearest thing to hand (my helmet liner): no origin tag. (?) My beloved Pingo jacket: also made in China.

Sigh.
