I usually find the name of the manufacturer or vendor, and then do a general web search on reviews for that vendor/manufacturer. This has saved me from buying numerous rip-off Chinese products, especially clothing.

(There are tons of Chinese clothing manufacturers who have websites showing really nice clothing - I think lots of them are the same company operating under many names. But when you order - and sometimes wait many weeks to get it - you find you’ve been sold trash with no resemblance to what was advertised; and it’s almost impossible to get your money back.)

To be fair, I’ve received a few very nice quality things that were made in China, usually those sold by and shipped through Amazon; but I try to steer away whenever possible.

I’ve found that Tractor Supply has a pretty big selection of made in USA products. Their clothing section leans heavily to outdoor, workwear and western wear as you might imagine. I go there for dogfood, dog treats and dog toys myself. A large Tractor Supply is actually a fascinating store. Everything from floor safes to off-road ATV’s to baby chicks in spring. Clothing, old school toys for girls and boys, housewares, on and on.
