While it seems much isn't made in the USA anymore, there still are "made in the USA" options. If we all share what we find, we can all help buy more USA products.

Here's what I have:

I buy clothes from http://www.allamericanclothing.com/

My next wallet will come from http://buffalobillfoldcompany.com/home/

My current pair of shoes are New Balance 505's which are "made in the USA of imported material."

And I think most products from http://www.burtsbees.com/ are made in the USA too.

What made in the USA products do you use/buy?

 
My Leatherman was also made in the USA . (I think)

^ mmmm beer. I guess there are quite a few beer makers around. Microbreweries seem to be gaining popularity.

 
Good luck finding toys made in the ol' US of A. I played a game one time with my boys called "where is your toy made?". I challenged them to find one NOT made in China. After several dozen trys they finally found a car made in Malaysia (sp?).

 
those weather tread plastic car mats that are form fitted to specific models are made in america
These?

Yep. They do all the 3D scanning, engineering, and injection molding in-house. Saw a factory tour of it on one of those Saturday morning car shows.
They look really nice. I might add them to my wishlist.
my husband has a set for the driver and front passenger side of his work van. They aren't a super tight don't budge sort of thing but they have the right features

 
I saw this the other day and found it amusing.

I'm happy to say that my American flag was made in the USA .

 
Most of the aftermarket parts I've put on my car are American Made.

Both my current and my previous project had Buy American clauses in the contract. All of the materials had to be purchased from American manufacturers, although most of the labor installing it has been from south of the border...

 
Almost all of our current nuke sites have buy American clauses as well. There are so many exceptions, it is virtually meaningless. In fact, some of the largest modular components and safety related components are being fabricated in Japan, including the reactor vessel.

 
Our trains are made in Korea, but then they are partially disassembled, and then reassembled stateside to meet the requirements...
