Late last year, I responded to some dramatic weight loss by buying some new sweatpants: I bought a $25 pair of "Champion" sweatpants from Costco and a $100 pair from the Canadian made "House of Blanks" to compare the difference between something very clearly made in bulk-ass bulk and something made locally.

The quality differences between the two pairs of sweatpants are very noticeable, and I think I would prefer to own one pair of House of Blanks over four of the dirt cheap Costco brand
