380: Steven Kurutz—American Flannel

What does it take to make a traditional flannel shirt in America? According to this New York Times reporter it’s a combination of engineering and artistry. And Steven should know; he wrote the book on it, American Flannel. Steven explores with us the history of U.S. textile manufacturing and how our thirst for cheaper goods led to the death of small company towns and the creation of the rust belt.

American quality products

it reminded me of the Jimmy Dean Commercial where he says he'd rather explain the price than the quality.
