What are you wearing?

[Queso]

Not a tribute to Internet predators everywhere, but instead...

I noticed about 10 minutes ago how unusually Americanish I'm dressed today. Nike plimsols, Levi jeans, Calvin Klein underwear and even a big Mickey Mouse on my T-shirt. The socks at least are from British Home Stores, so it's not a total loss. :D

However, it has got me thinking. How much have big American brands, not including Apple Computers, infiltrated our lives? What do you have on, and what is technically* the country of origin?



*yeah, they are probably all made in China, but you get the idea ;)

[clayj]

Lowa hiking shoes (Germany)
Black Levi's 560 jeans (US)
Green Microsoft "Enterprise Messaging Support" polo shirt
Gold Toe white athletic socks
underwear (the details of which are not for you, but they're pretty standard)
Black Carolina Hurricanes baseball cap (made in Dominican Republic)

[Mammoth]

Black Brooks socks
Beige Old Navy cargos and belt
A 'The Cheat' t-shirt with a glow in the dark Einstein shirt on top
:D

[dalvin200]

nothing!!! :eek: :D

[Jaffa Cake]

Let's have a look...

Jeans – from Next – a British company I believe, but actually made in Turkey.
Shirt – I've still got my Diadora (Italian) Hull City home shirt on after the game, made in Romania of all places. Still, I suppose it's the closest a City shirt is going to get to Europe for the time being. :p
Socks – generic black socks, could be from anywhere.
Underwear – Next boxers, but I'd have to take them off to read the label and I'm not getting semi-nekkid™ for you, young man. :p ;) I can imagine them being made somewhere in Eastern Europe, though.
Slippers – they have the England football team crest on, proving how patriotically dressed I am. Made in... oh, hang on... China. :o

[dpaanlka]

Abercrombie boxers. That is all.

[Tymmz]

Aberdeen football socks (don't ask!) — UK

Was also wearing Birkensock shoes earlier (Germany), but now have my feet up on the sofa. :D

Interesting idea for a thread — I'm actually surprised I don't have that many American brands on, to be honest.

[EricNau]

Because it's Saturday and I can wear what I want, I'm wearing...

Some Cheap t-Shirt from who knows where and some sweat pants from Sri Lanka.

[Silentwave]

[xsedrinam]

black New Balance 991s

Comfortable?

I'm going to pick up some 991s or 574s after Christmas.
He's gotta feel comfortable. The NB 990 Series have been a great trainer shoe. I've worn them since the 990 was first introduced back in '79 when I broke in to marathoning. They went all the way up to 999 before bringing back the 991 as the classic NB trainer in '99. Sorry for all the 9s. :o

[maestro55]

I work at Wal-Mart and so it is easy to buy clothes there and plus my discount.

The shirt is a blue Faded Glory shirt (since I have to work tonight and our dress code is blue shirt and khaki pants). The khaki pants are either Puritan or George (Wal-Mart Brands). I only buy black socks, and for the past year I have been buying the Puritan socks from Wal-Mart. The boxers are also Puritan brand. My Watch is a Casio wave cepter purchases on clearance from Wal-Mart.

In fact the pen in my shirt, the the wallet in my pants pocket, both came from Wal-Mart. My last pair of glasses were from Wal-Mart the current pair is not.

So I will say it again, Wal-Mart is taking over the world and good or bad I shop there (A LOT) and have worked there for two years part time (while doing things that I actually enjoy at the same time).
