I’m looking for boys clothing size 7 and up made in USA. All I ever find is some infants and toddlers. There are a few tops I found but no school pants a or jeans.
I have found white socks for children. No Nonsense.com advertises some as Made in USA. I haven’t had any complaints on there fit from my son. They also had a whole link to other things. I love there socks, my feet are actually softer after wearing.

I have been looking for down feather pillows, standard size for bedding. What I have found so far is that the ones that are made in the USA are covered in fabric from China.
Do you know of any 100% US made?

CFL light bulbs since we will be required to buy them in the future. Every box I’ve seen so far says “Made in China”. We are being forced to buy these because of that new energy bill the government passed. I don’t have a problem with buying energy efficient. I do have a problem with being things such as electrical items out of China because I have great concern of the safety of that item. Also, I’ve seen some photos online of some Chinese made CFLs that caught fire. The photos showed the sides of the bulbs charred beyond belief. Also, with China’s horrid record, the bulbs will be unsafe like everything else they have been sending to the US.

We are looking for bathroom accessories along the lines of those offered by Croscill or Umbro. Modern, contemporary, glass, metals, etc. A trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond yeilded zero choices except ‘Made In China’. Sigh. Would love to have choices of styles for soap dish, wastebasket, tissue cover, lotion/soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, etc. Thank you for all you do.

Looking for a Made in America cocktail shaker. China-made shakers have a black residue around the strainer seams that is impossible to remove completely. MBY’s last shaker search was in April, 2009. Anything new?

Are there any power tools 100% made in America? A search for drills is finding that two brands are still partially assembled in the USA but I haven’t found any (including those listed in this database) that are actually made in the USA.
Thanks!
