Inventory

As a starting point I decided to inventory the clothes in our closet and determine where they were made. Perhaps I could pinpoint some favorite brands that were made close to home. The results are shown in this map: http://geocommons.com/maps/135101

Interestingly, of those 14 items made in the USA:
  • 13 are over 5 years old
  • 5 are over 15 years old
  • 1 has the Ladies Garment Workers Union logo on the label (it was my Grandma's and is about 40 years old and I still wear it)
  • 5 were purchased at a thrift store
  • Sadly, none are from Target which is my favorite clothes store
