The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Flint and Tinder MADE IN AMERICA Ralph/Calvin/Tommy, the big boys, they're not who you think. Most of the things bearing their logos are made under license by companies you've never heard of like Li and Fung, PVH and Warnaco, who make garments as cheaply as possible on the other side of the globe. Flint and Tinder is different. We're manufacturing greatness here - in the USA - in as transparent a way as possible. BUILT TO LAST We're not just making things in America, we're making things better. We stand behind our products. So keep an eye out out for frequent use of the words Satisfaction Guaranteed, or product specific promises--as with the 10-Year Hoodie, which comes with an entire decade of free mending (not that you'll necessarily need it). It's all part of our Buy Less, Get More thinking. You're going to like it. CHANGING THE GAME We're all working really hard to make sure you're satisfied. We're going to bend over backwards to make things right, no matter what. The plan is this: By raising expectations, eventually even the bigger brands will play by the same rules, or they'll be forced to go the way of the dinosaurs. Either way, we win! APRIL 2012 Did you know that 99% of the men's underwear sold in America comes from, well, places like China, Indonesia and Thailand? Flint and Tinder launched on Kickstarter with a pledge to change that, build a better product than you're used to and help revive the American cut and sew industry. MAY 2012 5,578 people supported us in attempting to bring back high quality garment manufacturing by pre-purchasing $291,499 worth of underwear. Flint and Tinder becomes the best funded fashion Kickstarter to date. We could not be more appreciative. OCT 2012 Flint and Tinder launches FlintAndTinderUSA.com website. Zappos' Tony Hsieh and Fred Mossler sign on as advisors. Esquire names Flint and Tinder one of the 10 Best New Online Men's Shopping Sites. Pretty cool, right? MAR 2013 Flint and Tinder launches the 10-Year Hoodie, a premium sweatshirt designed for life, guaranteed for a decade and backed with FREE mending Kickstarter's first ever fashion project to raise more than $1 million dollars from 9,226 backers pre-buying more than 11,000 hoodies. NOV 2013 Flint and Tinder fires up The Bluelace Project an attempt to give American manufacturing it's own yellow ribbon with the help of a lace unlike any other, manufactured by one of the just two domestic shoelace manufacturers still standing. 11,749 people lend a hand.
