More NOT made in USA and a couple made in USA

OK - this morning while I was getting dressed I was reading labels! Oh my goodness! I do not think I own any clothing made in the USA anymore. The following brands are NOT made in the USA.

Bali - made in India
Levi's - made in Mexico
Sonoma jeans - made in Egypt
White Stag - Mexico - Nicaragua (Sad - this has always been a favorite "American" brand - I have worn it for years and I know they were made in USA previously. And the saddest thing - the quality has gone downhill noticeably. )
Faded Glory - a Walmart brand - Indonesia
Briggs of NY - Guatemala
Vanity Fair - Thailand
WM Earth Spirit Shoes - I am not sure but maybe made in USA
Cameras - I have not been able to find even one brand that is made in the US anymore - so sad.
Lia Sophia - Jewelry - made in China
Hanes - (undergarments) - made in Thailand
Secret - made in China


I did find some made in America items: The following brands are made in the USA.

Colgate products (a few are made in Canada) but most in USA
Arm & Hammer toothpaste
Dove product
Mary Kay cosmetics - tinted moisturizer, and cream cheek color are made in USA. Their cream eye color is almost made in the USA.

Unfortunately I did have to give in and purchase one item not made in USA. For health reasons I must have vinyl gloves in the house - and I looked everywhere - drugstores and Walmart and gave up - purchased Walgreens brand to give me time to hunt more. I will find a brand - I hope.
