SHIRTS from around the world !!
Recently went to this neighbourhood shopping place to buy some shirts and t-shirts. It was the first time I was shopping for clothes after landing here in US. Since it was more than 8 months, thought it was time to buy some clothes and also as Ganesha festival was nearing.
We went to local "Kohl's" shopping mall. I bought 2 shirts and 4 t-shirts. the emphasis was more on getting the correct size shirts as the sizes here are usually XL,XXL, XXXL. It is difficult to get S, M sizes for me. I Managed to get some good looking and quality shirts.
I did not look much into them when I bought. When I wore the first of these shirts, while removing the tag, I noticed the label, "Made in Bangladesh". I became curious and looked at all the 6 shirts I had bought and guess what,each of them were made in a different country and none were made in USA.Truely global... :-)
For the curious, here are the 6 countries.
Bangladesh, India, Taiwan, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, (Central American countries).
Here is a photo with the Indian t-shirt on - at Crater Lake.

Rohit,
This time when I was in US, I had bought 2 shirts for my brother and my husband.
You guess what, one is made in India and the other one is made in Pakistan !!!
