American Icons

[jhetley]

Received my annual infusion of L.L. Bean "chamois cloth" shirts yesterday, my normal winter Business Wear.  This year's incarnation was made in El Salvador.  Previous versions were Bulgaria.  I think it has been at least a decade since they carried "Made in USA" labels...

So much for the Down Home image.

Gee, I wonder if Bulgaria is too expensive for them now that the country is in the EU? The average monthly pay there is about 200 pounds (400 dollars) a month, after all. :(
