I am in the wool business (but I don’t work for Pendleton, even though I live only a few miles from them). Only the garment sewing is done in Mexico, thank the garment workers union for that.

But the wool is grown and processed in the USA. The fabric is woven in the USA. I believe they have 6 mills and one scouring plant still here in the US (one of only two left in the US and I’m sure the EPA plans to force them to China someday).

I had a friend in St. Clair county Michigan that has the largest flock of sheep in the county + angora's...She must have had 6 or 7 different breeds...

One day her husband went out to feed the ram that they kept in his own pen (nasty disposition) and he pushed the gate in instead of opening it out and entering...the ram saw the bucket of grain and charged the gate. Her hubby got a finger amputated between the gate and the post...

He called the guy that butchered small animals (goats and sheep) and told him he was going to shoot that damn ram and would the guy still process it if he brought him a dead animal....he shot the critter after bandaging his hand and had a couple of neighbors load the carcass into his truck....

I don't know why he got mad at me when I called him lefty four fingers, but I only did it once.....I thought he was going to shoot me too..
