Not what they used to be!

Russell sweatshirts made in USA, the one's I used to buy at Kohl's were a great value for the money. Russell decided to go to the "low cost regions" like everyone else in the USA. First Mexico, those sweatshirts were thinner and too short. I recently when to Amazon to buy an Extra Large TALL because the ones made in Mexico were now too short and didn't cover my gut anymore, I bought two and they're now made in Pakistan. I bought them in October of 2008 and it's now January 2009 and they're are already shot! The stitching was bad when I received them (my wife fixed them up) and I've never had a sweatshirt run like a pair of my wife's stockings, I'm really surprised that Russell put their Logo on the outside, I personally would try to hide it. American companies go to the low cost regions to remain competitive in the market but most of the time the quality really suffers like in this case. I'll never buy another Russell sweatshirt because they are now "crap", if I want crap I'll go to Walmart. The sweatshirts I'm wearing now are Carhartt, Farm & Fleet has them, they're around $50 each but they are "warm, thick and quite luxurious. If your tired of foreign crap and want to stay warm this winter Carhartt is the way to go.Dave Marvin WI
