In US, we may run into such a dilemma. 

If made in a sweatshot (by indentured workers, i.e., slaves, or children, or 
people kept in cages and starving), it will only end in bad publicity, and 
TDE would not look good in the press. 

If not made in such a place - but rather made by workers who are treated right 
and paid enough, who work in decent conditions - they will be exorbitantly 
expensive, and nobody can afford them. 

I buy most of my stuff as second-hand shops, anyway, so if I see some TDE polo 
shirts or t-shirts after a couple more years, then I will definitely buy 
them, if they are in my size. (By the way, I am built like a football player, 
although hardly in the same shape that I was 40 years ago. What are the sizes 
available? Looking for XXXL in US sizes ...)
