I love waving an American flag as much as the next guy... but I know the factory where the BC's are being made. It has far superior quality control than most of the American factories.
I can't speak for him, but I know all the products coming over are inspected in the US, and I'll be willing to bet he has less QC rejections than when they were made domestically.
I know this was not an easy decision for Scott... We talked about it some... but the fact remains that people simply will not pay $100 more for a US made product. Sure, it's great to say you would - but when it comes time to open the wallet... And when it comes down to it, you can't find good employees that want sewing jobs anymore domestically.
Are you going to stop buying rubbermaid products?? When they could not compete... they went under - bankrupt. The Chinese bought their dies and the rights to the name. And if a company does not watch the bottom line - they will not survive.
A huge percentage of the products you use everyday come from abroad... it's the simple facts in a world economy.
