The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Wolfsong Wear Our business began out of a search for better outerwear for active winter sports. When we could not find what we wanted, we designed and made our own clothing. Then we tested it on the trails running our dogsled touring business in the Lake Superior region near Bayfield, Wisconsin. Customers and friends started asking where we got our great looking clothing! A business was born. Since 1997 we have designed, tested and redesigned all of our outdoor clothing so that each piece of outerwear is the warmest, most comfortable, best looking, and as functional as can be. They are all locally handmade with the highest quality materials. We use durable, warm Woolrich Wool on the outside and soft comfortable Malden Mills 300 weight polar on the inside. Martexing Original Waxed fabric (waxed canvas like Shackleton) is used for our Nor'easter shells. When You Want It The Way You Want It, Sometimes You Just Have To Make It Yourself. John is absurdly dedicated to functional design. Mary's obsession with style and quality assures that it is all done in good taste. Together we make up the team that produces Wolfsong Wear, the best performing and best looking garments in the outerwear industry. If you want outerwear worth owning and wearing for many years, there is no substitute for quality workmanship and American made materials. That's why we will continue to use only the best materials and keep our production local. And as always, we fully guarantee everything we make. Thiels named |
