0 Ralph Laurens Next Olympic Outfits Will Be Made in the USA

After ABC News revealed last week that Ralph Lauren manufactured all the 2012 U.S. Olympic team uniforms in China, the label experienced a major backlash: Even Senator Harry Reid, in what's certainly his most outspoken clothing-related opinion to date, suggested that people “put them in a big pile and burn them." (And then presumably sit around the fire drinking Budweiser, roasting s'mores, and gleefully watching the berets crackle.) Anyway, while it's awkward to represent the U.S. with outfits sewn by hundreds of Chinese fingers, it's been happening for years: The Times pointed out on Friday night that Ralph Lauren moved most of its manufacturing to China more than a decade ago and has been the official outfitter of the U.S. Olympic team since 2008.
