Disposable, foreign-manufactured Americana: This brand name speaks the truth.

    Actually, Ralph Lauren and similar brands are not high-end clothing nor are Macy's, Nordstroms, etc. high-end clothing stores. They are certainly higher end than Walmart, but high-end clothing is something quite different. I'm not baiting you or trying to be mean, but things are what they are not just as one's limited experience might indicate.

    True high-end clothing is not made in sweat shops. Almost all of my clothing was made in Italy or France by well paid craftspeople. My t-shirts are $45, but they are made in Los Angeles. Clothing is my one major vice - well, pot and armagnac, but that's a different discussion - and I gladly scarifice other toys to indulge in clothing. Just for the record, these brands are the high-end: Brioni, Isaia, Kiton, Loro Piana, Etro, Gravati, some Armani, Montelassi, etc.

    Flame away.
