SO Disappointed...

gnosis · #1 (**permalink**) Dec 13, 07

I've been to no less than 9 stores in the last 2 days.

My sis wanted a west-coast-ish kind of hoodie for Christmas.

Every stinkin' garment I looked at was "Made In China".

I have some very serious issues w/ this.

So, I'm still lookin'.

It shouldn't _BE_ this hard to find a locally (at least Canadian)-built hoodie!

Cubed has suggested Lulu Lemon on Robson that apparently has Canadian-made gear. So, here I go (as soon as I finish my liquid-therapy/tonic/drink/merlot...).

Pretty sure Lulus are designed but not produced in Canada. I think they used to be when the company was much smaller.

make sure u get the "seaweed" hoodie.
i hear 100% regular cotton reduces stress.

and support local business. especially honest ppl like this

~Still enjoying the liquid-therapy~

C said that they made their stuff in town.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be checking the tags.

good luck.

you're supporting the locally economy by purchasing from local retailers no matter where the product is made.

It does further help the economy if local workers get paid to make the products though.

yeah it would help but in the end its the consumer/us that always wants cheap stuff, untill we stop that, very unlikely that u'll see much domestic made products.

^ Go to midway through this thread where he successfully found a made in Canada hoody and therefore no longer requires your not particularly thoughtful suggestion.

gnosis · #18 (**permalink**) Dec 16, 07

^Taa..

Didn't think it was needed.
