Their heart's in the right place
Small printed note found in the breast pocket of a new sportcoat bought by Biz Buzz at a local department store:
"It took 121 people a total of 233 hours to complete this garment. We almost hate to let it go -- Wait ... Wait ... we said almost!"The jacket's fabric was made offshore, the work was done in the United States. Here's hoping that spirit gives a boost to embattled manufacturers.

233 hours? I hate to think what you paid for that coat.

If it's any consolation, it was less than $233 on sale! A nice illustration of the tortured economics of apparel right now.
