UK looking for outside production facilities

I think Rex has the right idea. "America" is not just one nation, it's two continents. The idea that only the USA is America is a bit of chauvinism that it's time we outgrew.

.

"America" and "USA" have by common usage over a long time period become synonymous. Neither Canadians, Central Americans, nor South Americans refer to themselves, ever, as "Americans". If the suggestion is that goods made in some other country (however high quality) ought to be considered the same as Made in America then we might as well toss out every other definition that doesn't suit the feeling of the moment.

How did you get the site to work?

I've been unable to view the website, and I've heard other people have the same problem. Every page on the UK site turns into this: http://utilikilts.com/store/customizer.php

I've been dieing to see the results of the MuM contest, because I have an entry in it. Are other people having this problem, or can other people see the newsletter?

I remember back in highschool an algebra teacher spent a whole class showing the class that if you track down every part of a product it can very easily come from all over the world. Guess it all depends on how uptight you want to get.

I think to be fair the policy was meant as "made in the United States" no matter what words they used to articulate that. I applaud a company that sticks to their principal even when it seems to be the more difficult route.

I am sure there are sewing factories across this country but they may not be near Seattle.

A minor point.

We are the United States of America . . . and are, therefore Americans.
Mexicans are from the United Mexican States.
Canadians are from Canada.

I guess I fail to see the confusion or chauvinism in calling citizens of the USA, Americans.

Yes, but it is contained all in the continent of North America....

[Frank McGrath]

I've always called Canada Upper U.S.
