Most standard clothing is made in China, including a lot of American and British work clothing. The only areas of the clothing industry that can charge high enough prices to justify "domestic" manufacture are low volume fashion items.
Check your overalls. Do they actually say made in the USA or do they just hint along the lines of "proudly designed in the USA" to try to hide the fact they're actually manufactured in China.

You are dead right ,actually what they wear doesnt bother me the least,if they wore towels ,no sweat off my back,most things sold at walmart are made in China,so its usual here,I sometimes do like people fussing over it,Like Donald Trump,he blames everything on China,China hasnt held a gun to anybodys head .

I can't find any good running clothes made here in the states. Like STLmo, I try to buy as much as I can from the US. And running shoes? Forget it.

Running shoes ... yea... not many options. I have some new balance that are usa made. The options are limited to say the least.

For a good one you go to a proper Scottish kilt maker and get measured up. The proper ceremonial ones are heavy, hence why the kilt "swings". I'm heading through to Edinburgh next week, so I'll be surrounded by too much tartan and bagpipes for a while.

So what kind of money am I looking at if I wanted to buy a good Scottish kilt,dollar amount not euro amount?

Yes, but they stopped him wearing them while at work because he was standing on helicopter skids and getting them to fly over catholic nunneries.
