GEOG 2300: Clothes labels

I would guess that most of my clothes come mostly from third-world countries.  I’m guessing places like Haiti and Thailand will be big ones, and other countries that have cheap labor.  I am hoping that a number of my clothes will say “made in the USA.”

After investigating my t-shirts I found numerous interesting facts.  I have a large number of JERZEES and GILDAN t-shirts, and almost all of these shirts were made in either Haiti or Hondoras.  This makes sense because in 2009 Russell Corporation became faced with a controversy of labor code violations at their Honduran sweatshop.  I feel that this small activity is going to force me to pay closer attention to the places where my clothes were made.  Although, it does make me happy that I found that many of my t-shirts were made in the USA.
