    Is there a good word for the positive sides of the above? Would Americas "patriot" work?

    Don't forget to wet it first so the dust sticks to it

    Like Aggi says, get a good frame (loads recommended here) then add your own top. Some 24mm laminate ply could work

    I came for the speech, stayed for the music

    Good stuff though, nice to see someone just spelling it out

    Edit: read up on who she is. Not supporting any of that. Keeping the above for reference.

    Golden rule: Never test drive a car you can’t afford. I think same goes for monitors.

    That sounds like a good option!

    Out of curiosity, can you match the quality of Japanese brands while maybe being slightly lower in price? If you can manage that while being eco-conscious + create a fit that people buying "vintage inspired made in japan" stuff, I think you could be onto something

    Just read about a Swedish brand doing a similar thing but with wool. Turned out organic wool needs to be treated in Germany, so to avoid a lot of shipping they got german wool, treated + spun it in Germany, then sent to Sweden for the manufacturing of clothes.

    Not as good a story as "100% made in Sweden" but since it wasn't feasible, they took the pragmatic approach. After reading through their statement, I'm quite impressed by the transparency.

    Not saying your situation is the same with the US cotton, but that there's more to it than "made in x"

    Anyway. Sign me up for a sweater!
